Should I clean ducts after dust storms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I noticed a lot of dust settling on all the surfaces in my living room. The AC unit in the bedroom also seems to be working harder than usual, making more noise. Given that we've lived here for two years and this is the first time I'm concerned about air quality, should I consider professional duct cleaning? What can I expect in terms of cost and the process?

Absolutely, cleaning ducts after dust storms is highly recommended. In the UAE, especially during the dust season, it's crucial to maintain good indoor air quality as the high winds and sandstorms can deposit a significant amount of particulate matter inside your home’s HVAC system.

In Dubai specifically, you're facing an environment where such storms are common occurrences. The fine particles from these storms can easily bypass filters and accumulate within the ductwork, affecting both the efficiency of your AC unit and the overall air quality in your home. This is what you may be experiencing with your bedroom AC working harder and making more noise.

Professional duct cleaning services like ours at Saniservice are equipped to handle such scenarios. We recommend a thorough inspection first as per UAE regulations, to ensure that no harmful contaminants have found their way into the system. This can help us tailor our service to meet your specific needs.

The process involves using specialized tools and techniques to clean the ducts from the inside out, ensuring that all surfaces are free of dust, dirt, and other debris. It’s a meticulous job but one that will significantly improve both the performance and longevity of your AC unit.

Typically, costs can vary depending on the size of your home and the extent of the cleaning required. For a standard 3-bedroom apartment like yours, you might be looking at AED 500 to AED 1,000 for the service. However, we offer competitive rates and flexible payment plans.

Given that this is the first time you're noticing these issues after living in your home for two years, it’s a good idea to address them now. Poor indoor air quality can lead to health concerns over time, so regular maintenance like duct cleaning should be considered a part of your routine care.

If you decide to go ahead with the service, please don't hesitate to contact us at 800-MOLDS or email us at hello@saniservice.com for more information or to schedule an appointment.
