Is duct cleaning covered by insurance?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a thick layer of dirt collecting in the vents throughout my home, especially in the bedroom where my kids sleep. The AC seems to be working overtime, and now they've both been coughing more than usual. Could this be related to the ducts not being cleaned? What should I do to ensure their health isn't compromised?

Duct Cleaning is an important maintenance task that can significantly impact indoor air quality. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, ducts can accumulate a lot of dust and debris due to the region's sandy weather conditions. This accumulation can lead to poor air circulation and increased allergens in your home, which might be contributing to the coughing issues your kids are experiencing.

Regarding your question on insurance coverage for duct cleaning, it varies widely depending on your specific policy details. Most standard homeowners or property insurance policies do not cover routine maintenance tasks such as duct cleaning. However, if you have a policy that covers mold remediation or structural damage due to poor air quality, there might be some wiggle room. It's always best to check with your insurer for clarity.

If the dust storm has left noticeable dirt in your vents and you're concerned about its impact on indoor air quality, I'd recommend scheduling a professional duct cleaning. The thick layer of dirt can indeed affect how efficiently your HVAC system operates, potentially increasing energy costs and reducing comfort levels. Moreover, it could be harboring allergens or mold spores that might contribute to respiratory issues.

In Dubai, it's important to choose a reputable company that adheres to local standards and regulations. Companies like Saniservice, for instance, operate in compliance with UAE guidelines and can provide thorough cleaning services tailored to the region’s climate conditions.

Given your concerns about your kids' health, I'd suggest calling 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to book a consultation and cleaning service.
