Is duct cleaning necessary for my kids' health?« Back to Previous Page
|
My kids have been coughing and I suspect it might be related to the air ducts in our villa in Jumeirah. We’ve lived here for about three years, and I've noticed that the air quality seems to dip, especially during the dusty months. I've seen some ads for duct cleaning services, but I’m worried about costs and whether it’s worth hiring professionals for this. How much should I expect to pay for a thorough cleaning, and do you think it's really necessary to get it done?

Duct cleaning can be an important aspect of maintaining indoor air quality, especially in regions like Dubai where dust and particulate matter can be quite prevalent, especially during certain months of the year. Given your observation of your kids coughing and your concern about air quality in your villa, it's worth considering a thorough inspection and potentially a cleaning of your air ducts.
Over time, dust, allergens, and even mold can accumulate in air ducts, leading to poor air quality that can exacerbate respiratory issues, especially in children who may be more sensitive to these irritants. The UAE has specific regulations regarding indoor air quality, and while duct cleaning is not legally mandated, it is strongly recommended for maintaining a healthy living environment. In terms of costs, duct cleaning services in Dubai can vary widely depending on the size of your villa and the extent of cleaning required. On average, you might expect to pay anywhere from AED 800 to AED 2,500 for a comprehensive duct cleaning service. This may include inspection, cleaning, and disinfection of the ducts, as well as checking for any issues such as mold growth or blockages. It's advisable to get quotes from multiple providers and read reviews to ensure you choose a reputable service. If your children’s coughing persists even after duct cleaning, or if you notice visible mold or significant dust accumulation, I recommend a professional inspection to identify other potential sources of indoor air pollution. Sometimes, issues may arise from other areas of the home, such as carpets, upholstery, or ventilation systems. In conclusion, considering the health of your children and the environmental conditions in Dubai, duct cleaning is not only a practical step but could be essential for ensuring better air quality in your home. If you decide to pursue this, I encourage you to reach out to a trusted service provider. For professional help, you can call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com for assistance.
