Who maintains HVAC ducts in Dubai rentals?« Back to Previous Page

Hi there,

In Dubai and the UAE generally, it's typically the responsibility of the landlord to maintain the HVAC system including duct cleaning. This is based on local rental laws that require landlords to keep the property in a decent and safe condition for tenants. However, this can sometimes vary depending on your specific lease agreement or if you're living in a serviced apartment where management might handle these tasks.

Dust storms can indeed leave a lot of dirt and debris in ducts which can affect indoor air quality and HVAC system efficiency. Regular cleaning is important to ensure good indoor air quality and prevent potential health issues, especially for individuals with allergies or respiratory problems.

If you're unsure about the maintenance schedule or need professional assistance, it's always recommended to contact a reputable HVAC service provider. They can provide a thorough inspection and cleaning of your ducts if necessary. For those in Dubai, Saniservice is known for their reliable services and can be reached at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or by email at hello@saniservice.com.

Remember to check with your landlord first before scheduling any maintenance work as they might have specific instructions. But in general, it's a good idea for landlords to schedule regular duct cleaning every 1-2 years depending on the environment and usage of the property.

Hope this helps!
