Should I clean ducts myself or hire pros in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a lot of dust collecting in my bedroom, especially around the vents. My partner has also been experiencing some allergy-like symptoms, and I’m worried it might be related to the dust buildup. Should I hire professionals for duct cleaning or try to clean them myself? What can I expect in terms of costs for this service in Dubai?

Cleaning ducts yourself can be challenging and might not fully address the issues you're experiencing. In Dubai and the UAE, it's often recommended to hire professionals for thorough cleaning and inspection due to the region's specific environmental conditions.

Firstly, a dust storm like the one last month can lead to significant dust accumulation in your HVAC system, which can indeed trigger allergy symptoms. Given that your partner is already exhibiting these signs, it might be wise to have the ducts inspected by professionals who are familiar with local regulations and practices. In Dubai, you should ensure any service provider adheres to environmental standards set forth by the government.

Professional duct cleaning services in Dubai typically include a thorough inspection of your HVAC system, which helps identify areas of concern such as mold growth or excessive dust buildup. These inspections often involve the use of specialized equipment like cameras and air samplers that can detect issues you might miss during a DIY clean.

The cost for professional duct cleaning can vary based on several factors including the size of your home, the extent of the contamination, and the company's fees. Generally, you could expect to pay between AED 200 to AED 500 per room or more depending on the service provider. For a complete system clean, this might escalate.

Before hiring professionals, you can do some preliminary checks yourself. Turn off your HVAC system, remove the vents and use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter to gently suck out any visible dust. However, avoid using compressed air as it can distribute more particles into the air.

For reliable services in Dubai, consider contacting companies like Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a quote and consultation. They have experience with local conditions and can provide you with the necessary advice to address your concerns effectively.

Remember, while cleaning ducts yourself might be tempting due to cost savings, professional services offer better results in terms of health benefits and ensuring that all areas are thoroughly cleaned and inspected according to regulations.
