Should HVAC ducts be cleaned due to coughs?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I’ve been noticing a persistent cough and sneezing in the kids’ room. The air feels really dry and dusty too. Given how close their bedroom is to our HVAC unit, I’m worried it might be affecting them through the vents. Have any of you noticed similar issues or should I consider getting the ducts cleaned?

Absolutely, i think it's wise to consider having the hvac ducts cleaned in your home. especially after those heavy dust storms we experienced last month, there was a good chance of dust and other particulates getting into your system. coughing and sneezing in the kids' room could very well be linked to poor air quality from uncleaned ductwork.
in dubai, uae, local regulations do not mandate regular duct cleaning but it's definitely recommended for maintaining indoor environmental quality. over time, dust, mold spores, pollen, and other allergens can accumulate within your hvac system. when the unit runs, these particles are circulated through your home, potentially exacerbating respiratory issues like coughs in sensitive areas such as bedrooms. i've seen similar concerns from homeowners regarding their children's health after dust storms. the proximity of their bedroom to the hVAC unit makes it a prime candidate for air quality issues. if you notice persistent symptoms, i'd recommend getting a professional inspection done. some companies offer detailed duct inspections and cleaning services that can help identify any existing problems and remove allergens. don't hesitate to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a quote on their cleaning services. they have the expertise and equipment needed to thoroughly clean your system, ensuring better air quality for you and your family. remember, maintaining good indoor environmental quality is crucial, especially with young children who are more susceptible to respiratory issues. keep an eye on any changes in symptoms after having the ducts cleaned and ensure regular maintenance of your hvac system to keep those allergens at bay. |
