How often should we clean vents professionally?« Back to Previous Page

In the UAE, especially in areas like Dubai where dust storms can be quite common, it’s crucial to maintain good indoor air quality. The frequency of professional duct cleaning really depends on several factors, but generally speaking, you might want to consider a thorough clean every 3-5 years.

Firstly, the dust storms that we’ve experienced recently can definitely contribute to a buildup of particulates in your vents and ductwork. This accumulation can lead to increased levels of allergens like dust mites, mold spores, and even pollen, all of which could be triggering the sneezing and coughing you've observed.

It’s also worth noting that regular household cleaning might not always reach deep into the ducts where a lot of the dirt collects. That’s why it's wise to schedule a professional inspection every 1-2 years at minimum, if not sooner, depending on your local environment and the condition of your HVAC system.

If you've noticed a significant increase in symptoms post-dust storm or any time there are signs of mold growth, water damage, or excessive dust accumulation, it’s important to call for an inspection. At Saniservice, we recommend contacting us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com so that we can assess the situation and provide a tailored cleaning plan.

Remember, clean air is critical for everyone’s health, but especially for those with respiratory issues. Regular maintenance of your HVAC system can help ensure a healthier indoor environment.

So, in conclusion, aim to have your ducts cleaned every 3-5 years as part of routine maintenance. For any concerns or if you notice a significant increase in allergen-related symptoms, don’t hesitate to contact us for a professional inspection and cleaning.
