After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I noticed a persistent dry cough and sneezing in our living room when the AC kicks on. The vents seem to have a lot of dust buildup, especially by the windows. How urgent is it to address this issue before more family members get affected?

Yes, dust from vents can indeed be harmful to your family's health. Especially after the recent dust storms in Dubai, it’s understandable that you might notice a noticeable increase in dust within your home. The fine particles and allergens trapped in your HVAC system's ductwork can circulate throughout your living spaces, leading to respiratory issues like dry coughs and sneezing.
In Dubai and across the UAE, there are no specific regulations mandating regular cleaning of air conditioning systems. However, it is highly recommended to keep your indoor environment clean for health reasons. The dust buildup you're noticing could contain a mix of sand particles, pollen, mold spores, and even small insects or their remains - all of which can exacerbate respiratory conditions. Given the severity of the situation, I'd advise scheduling a professional inspection. This will not only help identify how severe the problem is but also ensure that your HVAC system is cleaned properly to remove these harmful particles. At Saniservice, we offer comprehensive duct cleaning services that can significantly improve indoor air quality. Our team uses state-of-the-art equipment to thoroughly clean and sanitize your system, ensuring a safer environment for you and your family.
