Is duct cleaning necessary and what are the costs?« Back to Previous Page

My kids have been coughing a lot lately, and I'm starting to think it might be related to the air ducts in our apartment. We live in Jumeirah Beach Residence, and I've noticed a lot of dust accumulating around the vents. It's been about a year since we moved in, and I haven't done any deep cleaning of the ducts yet. I’m considering hiring professionals, but I’m unsure about the costs involved and whether it’s really necessary. How much should I expect to pay for duct cleaning in Dubai, and is it worth it?

Duct cleaning can be a significant factor in improving indoor air quality, especially in a place like Dubai where dust and particulate matter are prevalent due to the arid climate. Given your concerns about your children's coughing and the dust accumulation around your vents, it's worth considering a thorough inspection and possibly professional cleaning of your air ducts.

In Dubai, the cost of duct cleaning can vary depending on several factors, including the size of your apartment, the complexity of your ductwork, and the service provider you choose. On average, you might expect to pay anywhere from AED 500 to AED 1500 for a standard cleaning service. Some companies may charge per vent or per square meter, so it’s advisable to get a few quotes to compare.

It's important to note that while duct cleaning can help reduce allergens and improve air quality, it may not always be necessary every year. However, if you notice an increase in dust, musty odors, or if the HVAC system is not functioning efficiently, it may be time for a professional cleaning. Additionally, the UAE has specific regulations regarding indoor air quality and maintenance of HVAC systems, which can further emphasize the importance of regular inspections and cleanings.

If you suspect that the air ducts are a source of the problem, I highly recommend starting with a professional inspection. They can assess the condition of your ducts, identify any potential mold or pest issues, and recommend the best course of action. In serious cases, mold or contamination can lead to more significant health risks, especially for children.

To proceed, you can contact a reputable environmental inspection and remediation company. For immediate assistance, feel free to call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537, or you can email hello@saniservice.com for more information.

Taking proactive steps to improve your indoor air quality is essential, especially for the health of your family. Consider scheduling an inspection soon to address your concerns and ensure a healthier living environment.
