How often should I clean my ducts?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a significant amount of debris in our ducts. The AC filter was covered with dirt and small twigs, and there were some spots in the vents where visible mold was growing. It’s been bothering me because my allergies have been acting up since then, and I’m worried about what could be circulating through our system. How often should I get my ducts cleaned to prevent these issues from recurring?

Hey there! Thanks for reaching out about your concerns regarding duct cleaning in the UAE. It's great that you're taking proactive steps to address potential allergens and mold growth in your system.

In Dubai, as in many parts of the UAE, it’s generally recommended to have your air ducts cleaned every 3-5 years. However, this can vary depending on factors like how often your system is used, the local climate, and whether you live in an area with frequent dust storms or sandstorms.

In your case, given that a recent dust storm led to significant debris buildup, it might be wise to schedule a professional inspection sooner than usual. A qualified HVAC technician can assess the condition of your ducts and recommend if they need immediate cleaning. They'll also check for any mold growth which is a real concern in humid environments like parts of Dubai.

Regular cleaning not only helps maintain air quality but also improves overall system efficiency, reducing energy costs over time. By keeping your ducts clean, you can significantly reduce allergens such as dust and pollen that might contribute to allergy symptoms.
