How often should ducts be cleaned?« Back to Previous Page

In the UAE, especially in areas like Dubai where sandstorms and dusty conditions can be quite frequent, maintaining proper air ducts is crucial for indoor environmental quality. It's a common issue that many residents face after such storms, as you've experienced.

Typically, it’s advisable to have your HVAC system, including the ductwork, inspected at least once every 2-3 years. This periodic check-up can help identify any potential issues before they become major problems. However, given the recent dust storm and its impact on air quality and your allergy symptoms, I would recommend considering a professional inspection sooner rather than later.

In Dubai, local regulations don't mandate specific duct cleaning intervals, but guidelines suggest that if you live in an area prone to frequent sandstorms or dusty conditions, as is common here, more frequent cleanings might be necessary. Environmental experts often advise against waiting too long after such storms, because the dust and debris can start to impact your air quality.

If you notice a significant increase in dirt accumulation like what you've mentioned or if there are changes in indoor air quality or health issues, it’s highly recommended to schedule an inspection with a professional service. They have the tools and expertise to thoroughly clean your ducts and ensure that your HVAC system is operating at peak efficiency, reducing the risk of allergens, mold, and other contaminants circulating through your home.

Remember, clean air is key to maintaining good health, especially in such an environment. Taking care of your HVAC system not only improves indoor air quality but also extends its lifespan, saving you money in the long run.
