Do duct cleaning duties extend to living room vents?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I noticed a lot of dirt and debris piled up behind the air vents in my living room. The AC filters are clean, but it feels like there’s something deeper going on. My landlord mentioned that duct cleaning is their responsibility, but I’m not sure if that includes all the nooks and crannies where dust can accumulate. Could someone advise if this falls under the maintenance responsibilities for a tenant in Dubai?

Duct cleaning is indeed an essential part of maintaining indoor air quality and the overall efficiency of your HVAC system. In dubai, it's typically the landlord's responsibility to ensure that ductwork and associated systems are maintained properly. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that every nook and cranny in your living room is covered under their maintenance plan.
It’s important to know that the emirates have specific guidelines regarding building maintenance and the health of indoor environments. For instance, as per the Dubai Municipality's Building Code, tenants are encouraged to keep their units clean but are not responsible for the internal maintenance of common areas or shared systems like ductwork unless explicitly stated in your lease agreement. If you've noticed significant dirt and debris behind the air vents in your living room, it might be a good idea to contact your landlord about having these areas cleaned. However, if they're not responsive or you’re unsure about what's included under their maintenance duties, professional inspection could be beneficial. Saniservice.com offers such services, where experts can assess the condition of your ducts and recommend appropriate cleaning. Another tip is to ensure that all filters are being changed regularly according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. This helps in reducing the amount of dirt entering the system and potentially accumulating behind the vents or within the ductwork. Remember, while regular maintenance by professionals ensures better air quality and can save money on utility bills, it's also wise to keep an eye out for any unusual odors, mold growth, or excessive dust in your home. If you suspect a deeper issue, don't hesitate to contact a professional service like Saniservice.com who can give you a detailed inspection and advice.
