Is dusty air vent linked to kids' nighttime coughing?« Back to Previous Page
|
Since we moved into our new apartment a year ago, the air vents in the hallway leading to the children’s room have been feeling unusually dusty. Lately, my kids have started coughing at night, especially when the AC is on full blast. I’m worried it might be due to all that dust getting blown around. Has anyone had similar issues or any advice on getting the ducts cleaned?

Dusty air vents can indeed be linked to kids' nighttime coughing. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, it's quite common for dust and other particles to accumulate within HVAC systems due to the dry climate and frequent sandstorms. These conditions can lead to an increase in indoor allergens like dust mites, mold spores, and even pet dander which can irritate sensitive airways.
When your children are coughing more at night with the AC on full blast, it's a strong indicator that there could be something in the ductwork causing these issues. In Dubai, we've seen many instances where neglected ducts have contributed to respiratory problems among family members, especially kids who are more vulnerable due to their developing immune systems. It would be wise to schedule a professional inspection of your HVAC system and ductwork. Companies like Saniservice, which operate in the UAE, offer comprehensive duct cleaning services that can help identify and address such issues. They use advanced tools and techniques to ensure thorough cleaning while also checking for any other potential problems within your home's ventilation system. For immediate relief until a professional assessment is done, try using HEPA filters in your air purifiers or consider having an air filter installed directly into your HVAC system. This can help reduce the amount of particulates circulating through your home and might provide some temporary comfort to your children. Remember, in Dubai, it's important to stay compliant with local building codes and regulations regarding indoor air quality. Make sure any service provider you choose is licensed and certified to work within these guidelines.
