Is duct cleaning necessary for my family's health?« Back to Previous Page

My living room has been feeling really stuffy lately, and I can't shake off this dusty smell every time I turn on the AC. I've lived in my apartment in Dubai for about three years now, and I never thought about duct cleaning until my friend mentioned it. I’m starting to see dust collecting around the vents, and I wonder if that could be contributing to my kids' allergies. What would it typically cost to hire professionals for duct cleaning, and is it really necessary?

Duct cleaning can indeed be a vital aspect of maintaining good indoor air quality, especially in a place like Dubai where dust and sand can be prevalent. Given your experience of a stuffy living room and the dusty smell when you turn on the AC, it’s worth considering a thorough inspection of your ductwork.

In the UAE, the National Centre of Waste Management and local municipalities emphasize the importance of maintaining clean air systems to support public health. Over time, dust, allergens, and even mold can accumulate in your HVAC system, which can exacerbate allergies and respiratory issues, particularly in children. If you notice dust collecting around the vents or if your kids are showing signs of allergy symptoms, it’s advisable to seek professional duct cleaning services.

Typically, the cost for professional duct cleaning in Dubai can range from AED 500 to AED 1,500, depending on the size of your home and the complexity of the system. Some companies may offer additional services such as sanitization or mold remediation, which can be beneficial if you suspect any serious contamination.

While some homeowners may attempt to clean ducts themselves, it’s often not effective or safe without professional equipment and expertise. A professional can assess the condition of your ducts, identify any potential issues, and ensure that the cleaning is thorough and compliant with UAE regulations regarding indoor air quality.

If you are considering duct cleaning, I recommend getting in touch with a reputable service provider. For serious cases or if you have ongoing concerns about air quality or allergens, it’s best to have a professional inspection.
