How often should I clean my apartment's ducts?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a lot of dirt accumulating in the vents throughout my living room and bedroom. My partner suggests hiring professionals to clean the ducts, but I’m not sure if it’s really necessary or how much it would cost. How often should duct cleaning be done in an apartment like mine, and what can I expect to pay for a professional service?

Cleaning your apartment's ducts is a crucial part of maintaining good indoor air quality and ensuring the efficiency of your HVAC system. In dubai/uae, where we have varying climatic conditions including dust storms, regular maintenance becomes even more important.
Typically, it’s recommended to clean your ducts every 3-5 years or as soon as you notice significant dirt accumulation, like after a major dust storm. However, if you're experiencing issues such as allergies, asthma symptoms, or have a history of mold growth, you might need to consider cleaning more frequently. In dubai, we often face sandstorms and heavy dust. These events can deposit a lot of particles into your ductwork, which can then recirculate back into the air you breathe. This is especially concerning for those with respiratory issues or allergies. If your living room and bedroom vents are visibly clogged, it's a clear sign that professional cleaning might be necessary. Costs for professional duct cleaning services in dubai can vary widely depending on factors such as the size of your apartment, the extent of the cleaning required, and whether you need to replace filters or ductwork. On average, you could expect to pay anywhere from 500 aed to 2000 aed per session. To ensure quality service, it's important to choose a reputable company like saniservice, which provides professional environmental inspection and remediation services. They can offer a thorough cleaning that includes vacuuming the interior of your ducts, inspecting for any signs of mold or damage, and suggesting necessary repairs or improvements. Regular maintenance not only improves air quality but also helps in reducing energy consumption by ensuring efficient operation of your HVAC system. In dubai's climate, where extreme temperatures are common, this can lead to significant savings on utility bills. Remember, while occasional cleaning is important, regular filter changes (every 3-6 months) and proper maintenance of your HVAC system can go a long way in keeping your indoor environment clean and healthy.
