Duct cleaning can be a costly procedure and many folks wonder whether it's covered by their insurance. In the UAE, specifically in Dubai, there isn't a universal rule that states duct cleaning must be included under home insurance policies. However, some home insurance plans may cover specific instances where duct cleaning is necessary due to damage or contamination.

If you're noticing dark spots near your AC vent and suspect they might be from recent duct cleaning, it's important to know that these can sometimes occur if the process was not done correctly. Ducts that are not cleaned properly could potentially harbor dust, mold, or other allergens which might worsen allergy symptoms like those your daughter is experiencing.

Given the specific concerns in Dubai, I'd recommend consulting with a professional environmental inspection and remediation company to get an expert opinion. They can assess whether the dark spots indicate improper cleaning practices or if they're something else entirely. In fact, it's always a good idea to have ducts inspected periodically, especially if you notice changes in your family's health.

If you decide to proceed with duct cleaning, ensure that the service provider adheres to local regulations and guidelines. For instance, the Building Control Department of Dubai Municipality has certain standards for HVAC systems maintenance which should be followed during such services.

In case you need assistance, Saniservice is a trusted company in this field. You can call them at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. They offer professional duct cleaning and inspection services that meet the high standards of Dubai's environment.

Remember, proper maintenance of your HVAC system is crucial for indoor air quality in such a hot climate like ours. Regular inspections can help prevent issues before they become serious problems. So, don't hesitate to take action if you're concerned about the health of your family or the cleanliness of your ductwork.

Hope this helps!
