How much does duct cleaning cost in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent damp odor lingering in the kitchen, especially when we turn on the exhaust fan. My sister mentioned that duct cleaning can help with such issues, but she wasn’t sure about the costs or whether it’s necessary here in Dubai. How much does professional duct cleaning usually cost in this area, and what are some signs that it would be beneficial for my apartment?

Duct cleaning costs can vary widely depending on several factors such as the size of your apartment, the extent of the ductwork, and the company you choose. In Dubai, expect to pay anywhere from AED 500 to AED 3000 for a full system clean. The average cost is usually around AED 1000-1500 for an entire HVAC system, which includes both supply and return ducts.

It's important to note that local regulations do not mandate regular duct cleaning, but they do recommend it as part of maintaining good indoor air quality (IAQ). Given the climate in Dubai, with its high humidity during certain months due to rainfall, it is a wise investment. A well-maintained system can help alleviate issues like damp odors and improve overall comfort.

Signs that duct cleaning might be necessary include:
• Persistent moisture or musty smells
• Increased energy bills despite no changes in use of the HVAC system
• Visible dust or debris in your vents
• Allergies, asthma, or other respiratory issues worsening

If you notice a damp odor, especially when using your exhaust fan, it's highly likely that condensation has accumulated somewhere in your ductwork. This can lead to mold growth which is a serious concern for health and IAQ.
