Should I clean ducts causing damp smell?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent damp smell lingering in the living room and it seemed like the air conditioning wasn't as effective as before. Given that we’ve lived in this area for two years now, is it worth hiring professionals to clean the ducts, or could this be something minor? How much can I expect to pay for a thorough cleaning service in Dubai?

Absolutely, you should consider having the ducts cleaned. The damp smell and diminished air conditioning performance could indeed be indicators of an underlying issue that needs attention. In dubai, our climate can be particularly challenging due to high humidity levels, which often contribute to moisture-related problems in buildings.
Given your situation, it's highly recommended to have a professional inspection carried out by experts familiar with the local climate and regulations. According to UAE standards, regular maintenance of HVAC systems is crucial for maintaining indoor air quality and ensuring optimal performance. When you call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com, our team will provide a thorough assessment of your ductwork. We'll check for any signs of mold growth, water damage, or debris buildup which could be causing the damp smell and poor airflow. Mold can be a serious health concern, especially in humid environments like Dubai, so it's important to address this promptly. For pricing, expect costs ranging from AED 200 to AED 500 per linear meter of ductwork cleaned, depending on the extent of the work required. However, remember that these are just rough estimates and actual costs will vary based on several factors including the size of your system and the complexity of the job. Regular maintenance is key in keeping your home's air quality at its best. Not only can it improve comfort but also prevent costly repairs down the line. So do not hesitate to take action now and ensure a healthier environment for you and your family.
