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

Duct cleaning is indeed a critical aspect of maintaining indoor environmental quality in Dubai and the UAE. In my experience, how often ducts should be cleaned can vary greatly based on several factors including the age of your home, lifestyle habits, and local climate conditions.

In the UAE, our arid and dusty climate plays a significant role in accumulating debris within HVAC systems. After that heavy dust storm you mentioned, it’s quite common to see increased dirt accumulation. According to local regulations, such as those set by the Dubai Municipality, it is recommended to have your ducts cleaned every 3-5 years for optimal performance and air quality.

However, if you notice persistent issues like the ones you're experiencing in your living room and hallway—especially with unrecognizable AC filters—it might be a good idea to schedule a professional inspection. Our company has seen many cases where regular cleaning is not enough, and deeper cleaning or even duct repairs are needed to address recurring problems.

Considering the high dust levels in our region, it’s also wise to consider having your ducts cleaned more frequently if you have pets, smokers, or family members with allergies or respiratory issues. These factors can accelerate the accumulation of particles within the ductwork.
