Is duct cleaning worth it for my apartment?« Back to Previous Page
|
My living room has been feeling really stuffy lately, and I’ve started to notice a lot of dust accumulating on the furniture, even though I clean regularly. I live in a 3-bedroom apartment in Dubai Marina, and I think it might be time to get the ducts cleaned, especially since I’ve never done it since moving in two years ago. I’ve heard mixed things about the costs and whether it's really worth hiring professionals for this. What should I expect to pay for duct cleaning, and do you think it’s necessary given my situation?

Duct cleaning can be a valuable service, especially in a heavily populated and high-humidity environment like Dubai Marina. Given your description of the stuffiness in your living room and increased dust accumulation, it sounds like your ductwork may be harboring dust, allergens, and possibly even mold. These pollutants can circulate through your home, impacting your indoor air quality and overall comfort.
In the UAE, the general recommendation is to have your ducts cleaned every 3 to 5 years, but this can vary based on factors such as the frequency of use of your HVAC system, the presence of pets, and whether any renovations or construction work has taken place nearby. Since you haven't had your ducts cleaned in two years, scheduling a professional inspection might be a good idea, especially if you have noticed persistent issues. The cost for duct cleaning in Dubai can range from AED 600 to AED 1,500, depending on the size of your apartment, the complexity of the ductwork, and the company you choose. Some companies may offer package deals if you combine duct cleaning with other services, such as HVAC maintenance or air quality testing. It’s important to ensure that you hire a reputable and certified service provider. Look for companies that adhere to UAE regulations for indoor air quality and duct cleaning, as this ensures that they follow proper protocols and use appropriate equipment. A professional inspection can provide insight into the condition of your ductwork and whether any further action, such as remediation for mold or significant blockages, is needed. If you suspect serious issues, such as mold growth or an infestation, it’s advised to contact professionals immediately.
