Is noisy AC causing allergic reactions?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be making a weird noise every time it starts up, and my throat has been feeling dry and tight whenever I use it. It's been going on for about a month now, especially during these hot summer nights when we rely heavily on it. Should I take this as a sign that it might be causing some kind of allergic reaction or is it just the dust? What would hiring an HVAC specialist cost in Dubai, and how can I tell if my symptoms are actually related to the air quality in the apartment?

Hey there! So, i've been getting some weird noises from my AC every time it starts up and my throat has been feeling kinda dry and tight, especially during these hot summer nights. I'm starting to wonder if the noise might be linked to allergic reactions or just plain old dust.

First off, let's get technical: in dubai, we've got our own set of environmental regulations that can help guide us here. The federal law no. 24 of 1983 on public health and safety requires building owners to maintain proper indoor air quality (iaq) standards, which include regular maintenance of HVAC systems like your ac unit.

The noise from the ac could be due to a few things - it might just need cleaning or the fan blades could be worn out. But let's not jump to conclusions yet. Those dry and tight feelings in your throat are symptoms that could definitely be linked to poor air quality, so i'd recommend getting a professional inspection done right away.

A quick call to 800-MOLDS (or email hello@saniservice.com) can get you an appointment with a certified hvac specialist. They'll inspect the ac unit and check for any dust or mold build-up that could be causing your symptoms. If it turns out your ac is making noises due to worn-out parts, a simple repair might just do the trick.

But remember, in dubai, we often have high levels of dust and pollen during summer months which can trigger allergic reactions. So if the ac inspection doesn't find any issues, you might want to consider investing in an air purifier for your apartment - especially one that's specifically designed for removing allergens like pollen and dust mites.

And speaking of costs, hiring a professional hvac specialist in dubai generally ranges from 200 to 500 dirhams (aed) per visit. It’s usually worth it though because they can also check for other issues that might be affecting the air quality in your apartment like water leaks or dampness.

In summary, get your ac inspected pronto, and if you're still experiencing symptoms after addressing any mechanical issues, consider investing in an air purifier. Stay healthy and keep those indoor environments clean!

Hope this helps!
