Should I clean ducts or replace parts? Cost in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I noticed a lot of dirt accumulated in my bedroom's vents. The air feels stuffy and smells off even after cleaning the filters. Should I consider having the ducts professionally cleaned or could it be fixed by just replacing some parts? What would typically cost for professional duct cleaning here in Dubai?

Absolutely, the dust storms we've been experiencing can indeed lead to significant accumulation of dirt and debris within your ductwork. This is a common issue many residents face here in Dubai and the UAE. In such cases, professional duct cleaning might be necessary rather than just replacing some parts.

Firstly, it's important to understand that while air filters play a crucial role in maintaining indoor air quality, they are not designed to handle heavy dust storms alone. The filters can become overwhelmed with the volume of particulates brought in by these storms, leading to issues like stuffy and stale air or even off-smelling environments.

Typically, professional duct cleaning involves several steps including vacuuming the interior surfaces of your ducts, cleaning the HVAC system components such as the evaporator coil, and inspecting for any signs of mold or damage. This process not only clears out accumulated dust but also helps in identifying potential issues like leaks which can contribute to poor air quality.

In Dubai, costs for professional duct cleaning can vary depending on the size of your home, the extent of the contamination, and the services offered by the company. Generally speaking, you might be looking at a cost range from AED 1000 to AED 3000 or more, but it's always best to get quotes directly from companies like ours at Saniservice.com.

It's advisable to have your ducts professionally inspected before deciding on cleaning. This can help in assessing the level of contamination and identifying any underlying issues that might need addressing. For instance, if there are signs of mold growth or persistent dust accumulation despite regular filter changes, professional intervention would be recommended.

To ensure you're getting reliable service, always look for companies that comply with local regulations such as those set by Dubai Municipality's Environmental Health Department. Companies like ours adhere to these guidelines and offer comprehensive services including air quality testing if required.

So, if you've noticed significant dirt in your vents or are experiencing discomfort from the air quality, it might be time to call us at 800-MOLDS for a professional assessment and cleaning. Remember, clean ducts mean cleaner, healthier indoor air – something we all strive for especially after such dust storms.
