Is ductwork related to family allergies?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a persistent cough and sneezing attack every time I entered my living room, which is right by the ductwork. My kids have also been complaining of itchy eyes and runny noses since then. Could this be related to poor air quality from the ducts? Should we consider having them cleaned professionally?

Ductwork can indeed play a big role in your family's allergies and overall indoor air quality. In dubai uae, we often experience extreme weather conditions like dust storms which can kick up lots of particles that find their way into our homes through ducts. These tiny bits of dust, pollen, mould spores, and even pet dander can accumulate in the ductwork over time if not regularly cleaned.
In your case, with kids complaining about itchy eyes and runny noses and you experiencing a cough and sneezing attack after entering the living room near the ducts, it's quite possible that poor air quality from dirty ducts is contributing to these issues. Ducts are like the blood vessels of a building - they carry all the air through your home. If they're not clean, all that dust and debris can get stirred up every time the HVAC system runs, potentially causing or exacerbating allergies. The UAE doesn't have specific regulations regarding duct cleaning but it's highly recommended to have them inspected by professionals if you suspect issues like yours. Ducts should be cleaned at least once a year for optimal air quality, especially in areas prone to dust storms and with pets or family members who are allergy sufferers. If your symptoms persist after regular maintenance, it might be worth calling in an expert for a thorough inspection. They can use specialized tools to assess the ductwork's condition and recommend any necessary cleaning or repairs.
