Should I clean ducts due to kids' coughing?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I noticed a persistent dull smell lingering in our living room and kitchen. The vents are also quite dirty looking, with a lot of debris trapped inside. It’s concerning because my kids have been coughing more often lately and I’m worried it might be related to the poor air quality. Should I consider having the ducts cleaned professionally?

Absolutely, it sounds like the situation calls for a thorough inspection and cleaning of your ductwork. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we experience various weather conditions that can affect indoor air quality significantly. The recent dust storms are a prime example of why regular maintenance is crucial.

Dust and debris accumulation within the ducts can indeed contribute to poor air quality, especially if you’re noticing a lingering smell or seeing dirt build-up around your vents. This could be exacerbating respiratory issues for your kids and leading to more frequent coughing. In Dubai, with its high temperatures and frequent dust storms, such conditions are common, making it all the more important to keep your HVAC system in top shape.

I’d recommend reaching out to a professional company like Saniservice for an inspection and cleaning service. They can provide a comprehensive assessment of your ductwork, ensuring that any harmful particles or allergens are removed. According to UAE regulations, it’s essential to maintain indoor air quality standards, particularly in residential areas where children's health is paramount.

Saniservice offers reliable services tailored specifically for the local climate, providing clean and safe solutions. Their team can help you determine if a simple cleaning will suffice or if more extensive repairs are needed due to mold growth or other issues that might have emerged from the dust storm.

In Dubai, it’s also worth noting that the presence of dust and dirt in your ducts can be linked to higher energy bills as well as reduced efficiency of your HVAC system. A professional clean could not only improve air quality but also help you save on utility costs over time.

Don’t wait until symptoms worsen. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com today to schedule an inspection and ensure a healthier indoor environment for your family.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is key in the UAE's climate conditions, especially after weather events like dust storms.
