How often should air ducts be cleaned in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense heat wave we had last week, I noticed a lot of dust accumulating on the curtains and furniture in the living room. It’s probably from the vents, but I’m not sure how often professional duct cleaning is recommended here in Dubai or what it typically costs for such services. How frequently should one clean their air ducts, and what can I expect to pay for a thorough cleaning?

Air duct cleaning is a critical aspect of maintaining indoor environmental quality in Dubai. The frequency at which air ducts should be cleaned can vary depending on several factors such as the climate, occupancy, and maintenance practices. In general, it's recommended to have your air ducts professionally inspected and cleaned every 3-5 years for a standard household.

However, if you've been experiencing increased dust accumulation or noticing an unusual odor emanating from your ventilation system, it may be time for a thorough cleaning sooner. The intense heat waves in the UAE can lead to higher humidity levels indoors, which might contribute to mold growth and allergen accumulation within the ductwork. Given that your curtains and furniture have shown signs of dust, it’s possible that your air ducts could benefit from attention.

In Dubai, as per local building codes and regulations (though not specifically mandating frequency), a regular maintenance schedule is advised to ensure optimal performance and health benefits for residents. The Environmental Health Authority of the UAE provides guidelines recommending inspections every 5 years or sooner if there are visible signs of contamination.

For those seeking professional duct cleaning services in Dubai, you might expect costs to range from AED 1000 - 2000 for a small household system. This estimate can vary based on the size of your home and the complexity of the ductwork. It's important to choose a reputable company with certified professionals who use proper techniques and equipment.

If you're considering professional duct cleaning, I recommend reaching out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a free consultation and quote tailored to your specific needs. Remember, regular maintenance can significantly improve the air quality in your home, making it more comfortable and healthier.

Taking care of your indoor air quality is an ongoing process, so don't hesitate to get your ducts checked if you notice any changes or concerns.
