Who cleans balcony vents after dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

Hey there! It's great that you're taking notice of the dust accumulation and air quality after such an intense storm. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, it is common to experience sudden changes in weather leading to high dust levels like what happened last week.

For a rental property, typically the landlord or managing agent has the responsibility for ensuring the ducts are cleaned regularly. However, if there's been a significant dust event, such as the storm you experienced, and you notice a noticeable difference in your air quality when using the AC, it might be a good idea to bring this up with your landlord.

To ensure the best outcome, consider initiating communication regarding the current situation. A polite request for a professional inspection or duct cleaning could lead to faster resolution. You can mention that dust storms are common here and regular maintenance helps maintain a healthy indoor environment, particularly since we have limited natural ventilation in our buildings.

If your landlord is not responsive, you might want to consider contacting professionals who specialize in environmental inspections and remediation. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer reliable duct cleaning services tailored for the region's climate and building types. Their number is 800-MOLDS or their email address is hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, regular maintenance of your HVAC systems is key to maintaining good indoor air quality, especially in such a dusty environment. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need more information on how to proceed or if you want recommendations for local service providers.

Hope this helps!
