Is duct cleaning included in maintenance?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a lot of debris stuck to the vents in our living room. My landlord mentioned that he's responsible for maintenance, but I’m not sure if duct cleaning is included. Has anyone here experienced something similar and know what to expect?

Is duct cleaning included in maintenance?

Well, the answer to that question is not always straightforward. In dubai/UAE, building maintenance policies can vary widely between properties and landlords. While it's true that many landlords do include general dusting of vents as part of their maintenance schedule, the more thorough process of duct cleaning isn't typically covered by such basic maintenance.

Ducts are critical components of any air conditioning or ventilation system, and over time they can accumulate a lot of dirt, dust, and even mold. This build-up can impact your indoor air quality significantly, leading to stuffy noses, itchy eyes, or other respiratory issues. It's especially important in the wake of that recent dust storm where you noticed debris on your vents.

In dubai, there aren't specific regulations mandating regular duct cleaning, but i'd recommend checking your lease agreement or maintenance manual for any stipulations regarding this. If nothing is mentioned, it might be wise to discuss with your landlord about adding such a service, as it can improve overall air quality and the efficiency of your HVAC system.

If you're considering having ducts cleaned, do look out for certified professionals. The company should have proper licenses and certifications from relevant authorities in dubai/UAE like the Dubai Municipality or similar bodies. A good professional will offer a thorough inspection first to assess any potential issues before cleaning.
