Who is responsible for cleaning AC ducts?

Well, that can be a tricky question depending where you are staying. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, it's generally the landlord who is expected to maintain and clean the HVAC systems including the AC ducts. This responsibility falls under the larger umbrella of ensuring the property remains in good condition throughout its term.

However, there’s always a grey area especially when it comes to tenant safety and comfort. The persistent dry cough you’re experiencing could be due to dust or allergens from dirty ducts circulating through your system. Given that the storm left a heavy layer of dust, it's understandable why this might be an issue now more than ever.

It would be wise to bring up this matter with your landlord. Many tenants in Dubai have successfully negotiated such issues by pointing out the potential health risks and discomfort caused by dirty ducts. You could suggest scheduling a professional inspection with a company like ours at Saniservice, who can assess the condition of the ducts and provide recommendations based on UAE standards.

If you're not comfortable discussing it directly or if there's no immediate response from your landlord, you may want to consider calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com. We offer professional cleaning services that are in line with local regulations ensuring a safe and healthy indoor environment for residents like yourself.

Remember, while the ducts might look dirty now, it’s crucial to clean them not only for your current health but also to prevent future issues. A little proactive maintenance can go a long way in keeping everyone comfortable during Dubai's hot summers.

So, if you're still dealing with this issue, take action today and ensure the air you breathe is as clear and healthy as possible.
