AC making noise, child sick. Professional cleaning in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page
|
The AC in our main living room has been making a weird gurgling noise for the past week, and now my youngest has developed a constant runny nose and a cough that gets worse at night. I’m worried that the unit might be leaking mold or bacteria into the air we’re all breathing. What’s the best way to get it professionally checked and cleaned in Dubai to make sure it’s safe for the kids?

Based on your description, this absolutely warrants a professional inspection immediately. The gurgling noise is a classic symptom of a potential drain line blockage or a refrigerant leak. In Dubai's high humidity, a clogged condensate drain pan becomes a breeding ground for mold, bacteria, and other microbial contaminants, which are then aerosolized and blown directly into your living space. This is a very plausible cause for your child's respiratory irritation, which is exacerbated at night when the AC runs for longer periods.
For a proper assessment in Dubai, you need a company certified to perform a comprehensive Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) investigation, not just a standard AC service. They should conduct tests including surface and air sampling for mold spores (like Aspergillus and Penicillium common here) and bacteria. They must also inspect the evaporator coils, ductwork, and measure relative humidity levels. Be wary of handymen offering a simple "steam clean"—this often doesn't address the root cause and can spread contaminants if not done with containment protocols. For a certified inspection and hygienization that follows UAE standards, I strongly recommend you call the experts at 800-MOLDS (800-66537). They can schedule a detailed assessment to identify the source of the contamination and perform a proper remediation to ensure your family's safety. |
