Duct sealing can indeed be a significant concern for buyers in dubai. It's essential to understand that ductwork is a critical component of the HVAC system and poor seals can lead to inefficiencies, increased energy costs, and compromised air quality within your villa. In the uae, there are no specific regulations mandating duct sealing but it's widely recognized as good practice to ensure optimal performance of the ventilation systems.

If the inspection you've had mentioned potential duct sealing issues, it's not necessarily a deal breaker but certainly something worth addressing before finalizing your purchase. Ducts that are poorly sealed can lead to air leakage, which means conditioned air is escaping from your system, reducing the overall efficiency and increasing energy bills. Additionally, unsealed ductwork can allow contaminants like dust, mold spores, and other allergens to circulate throughout your villa, affecting indoor air quality.

The cost of duct sealing can vary widely depending on the extent of the work required. Generally, it could range from a few thousand dirhams for minor repairs up to several thousand dirhams if extensive work is needed. Saniservice.com, which I recommend you contact, has professionals who specialize in this area and can provide a detailed estimate based on your specific villa's needs.

For serious cases, a professional inspection by a certified HVAC technician or building inspector is highly recommended. They will be able to assess the current condition of your ducts and determine if sealing is necessary, as well as advise on any other remediation steps that might be required.

Remember, while duct sealing can add to your expenses, it’s an investment in maintaining the long-term comfort and health of your villa. It's also a smart move considering the climate conditions you'll experience in dubai.
