Is duct cleaning really necessary now?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a lot of debris accumulating in the corners of my living room. My husband is insisting we clean the ducts, but I'm worried about the costs. Given that we’ve lived here for 2 years and just noticed this, should we really consider professional duct cleaning? How much can it cost, and is it worth the expense?

Duct cleaning is indeed necessary now considering the conditions you've described. After such a significant dust storm as the one last month, it's quite common to notice debris accumulating in various areas of your home including the ductwork. This isn't an uncommon issue, especially given that dust and other particulates can travel through your HVAC system.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we've seen numerous instances where professional duct cleaning is recommended post-storms or during extreme weather conditions. The regulations here don't specifically mandate duct cleaning after storms, but they do require regular maintenance to ensure optimal indoor air quality (IAQ) and energy efficiency of your HVAC system.

Considering you’ve lived there for 2 years and just noticed the dust, it's definitely worth investigating whether professional duct cleaning is needed. Accumulated debris can not only affect the performance of your HVAC unit but also compromise IAQ by circulating allergens and particulates throughout your home.

The cost of duct cleaning in Dubai can vary widely depending on factors like the size of your home, the number of registers cleaned, and the extent of the job. Generally, prices range from AED 1000 to AED 3000 for a thorough clean. However, it's crucial that you opt for professional inspection before jumping into cleaning. Some companies offer free assessments which can help determine if your ducts need attention.

Professional inspection is key here as they will be able to identify any issues like mold growth, pest infestations, or significant debris buildup that may not be visible during a casual inspection. This way you can make an informed decision about the extent of cleaning required and whether it's worth the expense.

If the assessment confirms that your ducts do need professional cleaning, then going ahead with it could significantly improve your indoor air quality and potentially extend the life of your HVAC system. Clean air is especially important in Dubai’s climate where allergens can be prevalent.

So, if you're concerned about costs or unsure whether to proceed, consider calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a free inspection. Their experts can provide detailed advice tailored to your specific situation and help ensure that any cleaning work done is both effective and cost-efficient.

Remember, clean air contributes not just to better health but also to overall comfort in your home.
