How often should I clean HVAC ducts?« Back to Previous Page

Hey there! It's quite common for dust storms to kick up all sorts of debris and deposit them into your HVAC system. This can indeed have an impact on the air quality inside your home, especially if you or your kids are prone to respiratory issues.

In Dubai/UAE, the environment is pretty dry and dusty, making regular duct cleaning a crucial part of maintaining good indoor air quality. While there's no one-size-fits-all answer for how often you should clean your HVAC ducts, as it can vary based on several factors such as the frequency of dust storms, the number of occupants in the home, pet presence, and overall system usage, here are some general guidelines:

For a typical household with minimal dust issues, cleaning every 3-5 years might be sufficient. However, if you live in an area that experiences frequent sandstorms or if you have pets (especially those who shed), more frequent cleanings may be needed - perhaps annually.

In your case, given the recent dust storms and the health concerns of your kids, it would definitely be prudent to have a professional inspection done right away. A local Dubai HVAC contractor can assess the condition of your ducts and recommend whether they need cleaning or if there are any issues that require attention.

If you do decide to clean your ducts, make sure to choose a reputable company like Saniservice who follows proper procedures to avoid spreading dust around during the process. They can also help identify any areas in your home that might be contributing to poor indoor air quality and provide recommendations for improvement.

Now, I know sometimes it can seem overwhelming to deal with such things but don’t worry! By taking these steps, you’re ensuring better health for your family. If you need more advice or want Saniservice to check out your system, give them a call at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com.
