Is new AC causing my throat issues?« Back to Previous Page

Hey there,

That's a valid concern. Your new AC unit might indeed be the culprit for your throat issues. In Dubai and UAE, it is fairly common to experience such symptoms after installing a brand-new AC system, especially if you haven't had any maintenance done yet. The dust you're noticing being blown out could be from the initial cleaning process or even dust collected over time within the unit.

AC units in the UAE can accumulate a lot of dirt and debris due to the high temperatures and sandy climate. This buildup can lead to poor air quality when the system is turned on, potentially causing irritation to your throat and eyes.

To address this issue, you should consider having your AC unit professionally inspected by an authorized service provider who follows local regulations like those set forth in the UAE’s Environmental Protection Law. The company should perform a thorough cleaning of all components including the evaporator coil, filters, and the condenser unit. In Dubai, many companies offer air purifiers or HEPA filters which can be installed to enhance indoor air quality.

In addition to professional servicing, there are some steps you can take on your own to improve the situation:

• Replace or clean the air filter regularly. Check for any debris or dust that might have accumulated.
• Ensure your AC unit is properly sealed and has no leaks allowing outside contaminants in.
• Run a humidifier alongside your AC system if the air feels too dry, as this can further irritate your throat.

If your symptoms persist after these steps, you should call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for further assistance. They offer professional mold inspection and remediation services which are crucial in ensuring that your indoor environment is safe and healthy.

Hope this helps!
