Should I hire duct cleaning services?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had a couple of weeks ago, I noticed an awful musty smell lingering in the hallway leading from my living room to the bedrooms. The AC unit seems particularly dirty with layers of dust accumulated inside. Given that it's been two years since the last professional cleaning, should I consider hiring duct cleaning services? What can I expect to pay for a thorough job in Dubai?

Absolutely, considering the recent dust storm and the awful musty smell in your hallway it sounds like you should definitely consider hiring duct cleaning services. The AC unit being particularly dirty with layers of dust accumulated inside is a clear sign that a thorough clean is needed.

In Dubai, regulations don't mandate regular duct cleaning but given the environmental conditions we experience, it's wise to have your system inspected and cleaned every 2-3 years, as you mentioned it’s been two. A professional will not only remove the visible dust but also check for mold growth which can be a serious health hazard in such a warm climate.

Expect to pay around AED 1000 - 2500 for a thorough duct cleaning job, depending on the size of your home and the complexity of the system. This typically includes vacuuming of all accessible ducts, sanitization where necessary, and checking for any potential issues that might need addressing.

If you're concerned about maintaining good indoor air quality or if there are symptoms like allergies worsening or a persistent musty smell, I'd recommend scheduling an inspection before cleaning to identify the root cause. This can help ensure the job is done effectively and prevent future issues.
