Should I clean apartment ducts professionally?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I noticed a significant amount of dust accumulating in the vents throughout our second-floor apartment. The AC unit itself looks pretty clean, but it’s hard not to think that all this dirt might be circulating through the air. Given how often we use the AC and considering our family’s health, should I consider hiring professionals for duct cleaning? What can typically be expected in terms of cost and time involved for a thorough job?

Absolutely, dust storms can indeed leave their mark on your air ducts and HVAC system. In the UAE, including Dubai, it's essential to keep a clean indoor environment for both comfort and health reasons. The accumulation of debris such as dust, pollen, and even small insects can greatly affect air quality, especially if you have family members who might be sensitive to allergies.

In your situation, given how often you use the AC and considering the recent storms, it would definitely be wise to consider professional duct cleaning services. According to local UAE regulations, maintaining proper indoor air quality is a priority. The Abu Dhabi Municipality, for instance, recommends regular maintenance of HVAC systems to ensure they are functioning at their best.

Professional duct cleaners typically offer thorough services that include inspecting the entire system from vents to the AC unit and cleaning all parts where dust can accumulate. This process usually involves using specialized tools like vacuum trucks or brushes designed specifically for air ducts to remove deep-seated debris. The time required depends on the size of your apartment, but a full clean might take anywhere from 2-4 hours.

As for costs, prices vary widely depending on the company and the extent of work needed. Generally, you can expect to pay between AED 500 - 1000 per session, though this may change based on specific needs like deeper cleaning or additional services such as mold inspection.

To ensure a quality service, it’s important to choose a reputable company that follows strict standards. Look for companies who have experience in the UAE and perhaps even those certified by local authorities.
