Do landlords clean HVAC ducts in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent damp smell lingering in my living room, even after airing out the space. The AC unit is also not as cool as it used to be, which makes me wonder if there might be issues with the ducts. Do landlords typically handle cleaning the HVAC system and ductwork in Dubai rentals?

In the UAE and specifically in Dubai, landlords typically aren't obligated by law to clean HVAC ducts as part of their regular maintenance responsibilities. However, this doesn’t mean you should ignore it entirely. The cleanliness and integrity of your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system can significantly impact indoor environmental quality.
Persistent damp smells or decreased cooling efficiency could indeed indicate issues within the ductwork. Water damage from last month’s rain might have introduced moisture which leads to mold growth in the ducts. Mold spores can circulate through the air and cause health issues, especially for individuals with allergies or respiratory problems. Given your situation, it's wise to contact a professional HVAC service provider for an inspection. They'll be able to assess if there are any blockages, leaks, or signs of mold within the ducts that might not be visible from the outside. Early detection and remediation can prevent further health concerns and costly repairs later on.
