Should duct cleaning be a deal breaker?« Back to Previous Page

Duct cleaning should not necessarily be a deal breaker for purchasing your villa. However, it's important to understand the significance and potential impact of poor ductwork condition on indoor air quality (IAQ) which is crucial in a climate like Dubai’s.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, regulations around HVAC systems and their maintenance are stringent but not explicitly detailed regarding duct cleaning as part of mandatory inspections. Nevertheless, neglecting your ducts can lead to various issues including allergens, mold growth, dust accumulation, and even energy inefficiency due to poor air flow.

If the inspection report points out significant issues, it's advisable to have a professional assessment done. This will help in understanding if remediation is necessary or not. Saniservice offers comprehensive duct cleaning services that comply with local standards and can provide you with detailed reports on the state of your villa’s ductwork.

Typically, duct cleaning costs vary based on the size of your property and extent of the issues found. For a standard villa in Dubai, expect to pay around AED 2,000 to AED 5,000 for professional cleaning services. More extensive work might push this cost higher depending on the remediation required.

Regular maintenance is key to ensuring optimal IAQ, especially when you’re considering moving into a new property. By addressing any issues proactively, you can avoid future problems and maintain a healthier living environment. If you're unsure about the condition of your ducts or if you need professional advice, don't hesitate to call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for consultation.

Remember, a clean and well-maintained HVAC system not only improves indoor air quality but also extends the life of your equipment. In Dubai's hot and humid climate, this is particularly important for comfort and energy efficiency.

So while duct cleaning isn't necessarily a deal breaker, it’s certainly something to take seriously if your inspection points out issues. It's best to get a professional opinion before making any decisions about purchasing the villa.
