Should I check for HVAC issues or call a specialist?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy smoke from a nearby construction site settled a few days ago, I’ve noticed a persistent acrid smell lingering in my living room. My family has been complaining of sore throats and coughing since then, especially at night when we’re indoors more. Should I try to address this myself or is it better to call in an HVAC specialist?

First off, i'd advise that you give some thought to your situation before deciding. The acrid smell and the coughs and sore throats are concerning symptoms. In dubai, uae, we often experience issues like these due to dust particles, smoke, and other airborne contaminants from nearby construction sites.

Considering the situation, it might be prudent to call in a professional hvac specialist rather than trying to handle this yourself. The specialists at saniservice.com or similar companies are well-versed with the local regulations and can provide you with an accurate assessment of your indoor air quality (iaq). they can inspect your hvac system for issues such as ductwork contamination, filters needing replacement, or even the possibility that your system is spreading particulates from outside.

if you're experiencing symptoms like sore throats and coughing especially at night, it's a good sign to have an expert come in. these symptoms could be linked to poor air quality in your home. moreover, uae regulations require that buildings maintain certain standards for indoor air quality, so having a professional check things out is important.

in the meantime, you can try some simple steps yourself like increasing ventilation by opening windows (if weather permits) or using an air purifier with a true hepa filter to help remove fine particles from the air. however, these are just temporary measures; for a comprehensive solution, it's best to call in the experts.

contact 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com if you're looking for reliable services. remember, when dealing with indoor air quality issues, especially after exposure to heavy smoke from construction sites, it is crucial to act promptly and seek professional advice.

take care of your family's health by addressing this issue seriously.
