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

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I noticed a lot of debris accumulating in our ductwork. The AC in my apartment has been running much louder than usual, and it seems like there's more heat even though I keep the temperature set lower. Have any of you experienced similar issues or know how often the ducts should be cleaned to prevent this from happening again?

In dubai, the frequency of duct cleaning can vary depending on several factors. Generally speaking, it's recommended to have your ducts cleaned every 3-5 years for a standard residential or commercial property. However, there are some circumstances that might require more frequent cleanings.

For instance, in the UAE where we experience dust storms and high particulate matter in the air during certain seasons, you may need to increase this schedule. After those intense dust events like the one you mentioned last month, it’s wise to get your ducts cleaned sooner rather than later. Accumulated debris can lead to a decline in air quality, increased noise from your HVAC system, and even potential issues with energy efficiency.

I've seen firsthand how dirty ductwork can make an AC unit work harder, which not only increases the risk of breakdown but also escalates your utility bills. Given that you're experiencing more heat than usual despite lowering your thermostat, it's very likely that there is a significant amount of dust and debris clogging your system.

It’s advisable to get a professional inspection done post-dust storms. Our company, Saniservice, specializes in these kinds of assessments and can help identify any issues related to air quality, noise reduction, or energy efficiency.
