Duct cleaning can indeed be costly but is generally considered necessary for maintaining good indoor air quality and overall building health. In the UAE, especially Dubai, ductwork often accumulates dust, dirt, pollen, and other allergens over time due to the climate conditions. This can lead to poor indoor air quality which might affect your comfort or even trigger allergies.
In terms of cost, it really depends on a few factors like the size of the duct system, the extent of contamination, and whether you're dealing with any mold issues. Typically, professional cleaning services in Dubai charge per square meter or based on the length of the ductwork cleaned. Expect to pay anywhere from AED 500 to AED 2000 for a small to medium-sized villa. It's important to understand that duct cleaning is not always an immediate dealbreaker when buying a property, but it should definitely be addressed if your inspection report mentions issues. Regular maintenance can prevent these problems and save you money in the long run. Before jumping into duct cleaning, I recommend getting a thorough professional inspection of the entire HVAC system. This will help identify specific areas that need attention and ensure you're not overpaying for unnecessary services. In Dubai, regulations require regular maintenance checks to ensure compliance with local environmental standards. A reputable company like Saniservice can provide detailed reports and recommendations. To ensure you get the best service, always ask about their certifications and experience dealing with HVAC systems in the UAE. You should also check if they use EPA-certified methods for mold remediation if that's an issue.
