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

After the recent dust storm that hit Dubai, I noticed a lot of dust accumulating behind the air conditioning unit in my living room. It's been two years since we last had our ducts cleaned, and I’m not sure if it’s time for another cleaning or if this is just normal wear and tear. How much do professional duct cleaners typically charge in Dubai, and what signs should I look out for that indicate it might be necessary to clean the ducts?

In dubai, the frequency of duct cleaning can vary depending on several factors including environmental conditions, HVAC system usage, and building location. Typically, it's recommended to have your air ducts cleaned every 3 to 5 years for standard residential properties. However, areas with high dust levels or near industrial zones may need more frequent cleanings due to increased particulates in the air.

The recent dust storm you mentioned can indeed increase the amount of dust and debris that accumulates within your HVAC system, including inside the ducts. This is a good indicator it might be time for a thorough cleaning. Signs that suggest you should have your ducts cleaned include:

1. Increased energy bills as dirt and debris can reduce airflow efficiency
2. Visible dust buildup in unlikely areas like corners of rooms or on furniture
3. The presence of unpleasant odors, which could indicate mold growth due to stagnant moisture in the system
4. Reduced air quality that might affect those with allergies or asthma

Given your location in dubai and the recent weather conditions, it's advisable to consider a professional inspection. A qualified service provider can assess the condition of your ducts and recommend appropriate cleaning intervals.

In terms of cost, prices for duct cleaning services vary widely based on factors such as the size of the property, extent of the job, and the specific company you use. Generally speaking, expect costs ranging from 500 to 2000 dirhams (AED) per visit depending on these variables.
