Should I hire professionals to clean air conditioning ducts?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the rain last month, I noticed a lot of water getting sucked into our air conditioning unit through one of the vents. The apartment is on the third floor, and it seems like there might be some issues with how well the ducts are cleaned or maintained here. Given that we've only been living in this building for two years, should we consider hiring professionals to clean the ducts? What can I expect to pay for a thorough cleaning service in Dubai?

Absolutely, it sounds like your ducts might need some attention especially given the recent rain incidents. In Dubai and the UAE generally, there are no strict regulations mandating regular duct cleaning but it's highly recommended due to environmental conditions that can lead to issues such as mold growth or dust accumulation.
Water intrusion into air conditioning units is indeed a serious concern. The presence of moisture in your system could lead to not only unpleasant odors and poor indoor air quality, but also potential health risks like respiratory problems if mold starts to grow. It's important to address this issue promptly by having the ducts inspected and cleaned by professionals. In Dubai, you can expect to pay between AED 100 to AED 300 per linear meter of ductwork for a thorough cleaning service. This cost can vary depending on the extent of the work needed, the type of system you have (central air or zoned), and whether there are any additional services required such as disinfection. It’s advisable to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection. They will be able to assess the condition of your ducts and recommend appropriate cleaning methods, which might include vacuuming, brushing, or even pressurized air cleaning systems depending on the severity of the issue. Keep in mind that maintaining clean and well-maintained ductwork is crucial for optimal performance of your AC system as well as ensuring a healthy indoor environment. Regular servicing can help prevent costly repairs down the line due to equipment failure caused by buildup or contamination. Remember, prevention is key, so if you notice any unusual odors, discoloration, or decreased efficiency in your air conditioning, it’s time to consider professional cleaning and inspection services. |
