Is ductwork related to our home allergies?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a strange smell lingering in my bedroom. My partner and I started noticing more frequent sneezes and itchy eyes, especially when we were home with the windows closed. Could this be related to the ductwork? Have any of you had similar issues or know if regular duct cleaning is something commonly done here in Dubai?

Ductwork can indeed be linked to your home allergies. In the UAE, especially during our frequent dust storms and high humidity periods, it’s very common for ducts to accumulate allergens like dust, mold spores, pet dander, and other irritants. These particles can circulate throughout your home via your HVAC system, potentially worsening allergy symptoms.
I've heard from many clients in Dubai who have experienced similar issues after storms or during times of high dust. The strange smell you mentioned could be a sign of mold growth within the ducts. Additionally, more frequent sneezing and itchy eyes are classic signs of allergen exposure. Regular maintenance and cleaning of your HVAC system and ductwork is strongly recommended in Dubai to prevent such issues. The Abu Dhabi government has specific guidelines for indoor air quality which include regular inspection and cleaning of HVAC systems, though these may not be as stringent as those seen in some other countries.
