How often should duct cleaning be done in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I noticed a lot of dust accumulating in my bedroom's vents. The air feels stuffy and the mustiness is pretty strong. Given that it’s been two years since the last professional duct cleaning here in Dubai, should I hire a company or can I do this myself? What typically does this service cost in the UAE?

Duct cleaning is a critical aspect of maintaining indoor environmental quality, especially in a city like Dubai where we often experience dust storms and high temperatures. According to the UAE's Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE), it is recommended that you have your ducts cleaned every 3-5 years, though this can vary depending on factors such as frequency of use, number of occupants, and environmental conditions.

In Dubai, we've seen a significant increase in dust accumulation following the recent storms. The musty air and noticeable dust build-up in vents are clear indicators that it's high time for a cleaning. Given that it’s been two years since your last professional duct clean, this might be an urgent case where you should consider hiring a reputable company.

Professional duct cleaners like Saniservice can provide a thorough inspection and cleaning service. They typically use advanced equipment to ensure all parts of the ductwork are cleaned effectively. The cost for such services in Dubai can vary; usually ranging from AED 1,000 to AED 3,500 depending on the size of your home and the extent of the work required.

DIY duct cleaning is possible but less effective compared to professional methods. You might think you can just blow out some air or use a shop vac, but this isn’t sufficient to remove all the accumulated dust and mold spores that could be causing those unpleasant odors and stuffiness. Professional cleaners have specialized tools like vacuum systems with HEPA filters, brushes, and even pressure washing techniques which are essential for removing stubborn dirt.

It’s important to note that regular maintenance can also include checking your HVAC system for leaks or damaged components. This ensures the air you breathe is as clean as possible. If you notice persistent issues despite regular cleaning, it might be time for a detailed inspection by a professional to rule out any underlying problems like mold growth which could pose serious health risks.

So, do yourself and your family a favor—call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com today to schedule a service. Ensuring clean air in your home isn’t just about comfort; it's about overall health and well-being.
