Should I clean my apartment's ducts professionally?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a lot of debris and dirt buildup in the grilles of the ducts in my apartment. The AC seems to be working less efficiently too. Given that it’s been two years since the last professional cleaning, should I consider hiring an HVAC company to clean the ducts? What can I expect in terms of cost and how often do you typically recommend such a service in Dubai?

Absolutely, it's wise to consider having your apartment’s ducts professionally cleaned. Especially after experiencing heavy dust storms like the one last month, debris and dirt can accumulate in the grilles which might affect the efficiency of your air conditioning system.

In Dubai/UAE, there aren't specific regulations mandating regular duct cleaning but many building owners do so based on maintenance guidelines. A 2-3 year interval for professional duct cleaning is generally recommended to ensure optimal performance of your HVAC (Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning) systems. Given that it's been two years since the last clean, it could be beneficial to schedule an inspection and cleaning.

When looking for a service provider in Dubai, it’s crucial to choose a reputable company with experience in UAE conditions. They should have proper certifications and the right equipment to safely handle your ducts. Professional HVAC companies will not only clean but also inspect the condition of your ductwork, identifying any potential issues that could lead to poor air quality or energy inefficiency.

Cost for professional duct cleaning can vary depending on the size of your apartment and the extent of work required. Typically, it ranges from AED 500 to AED 2000 per session. This cost covers both cleaning services and any necessary repairs that might be found during inspection.

To ensure you're getting a quality service, ask for references or testimonials from previous clients. You can also check online reviews if available. After the cleaning, your HVAC system should operate more efficiently, reducing energy consumption and improving indoor air quality in your apartment.

Remember, maintaining good indoor environmental quality is key to health and comfort. Regular maintenance can prevent costly repairs down the line and keep your family healthy.
