Duct cleaning in a neighboring apartment shouldn't directly affect your unit unless there's some kind of air exchange between the apartments. In dubai, regulations are quite strict about indoor environmental quality but typically don't extend to shared ducts being used across different units. However, it never hurts to ensure that your own system is clean and functioning properly.

First off, make sure you're aware of any shared systems in your building. Dubai has a lot of high-rises where air might be recycled or partially shared between floors but typically not apartments within the same floor. If this isn't the case, then there's no need for alarm. Nonetheless, it is always a good idea to check with your building management if they have any guidelines on duct maintenance.

If you're still feeling concerned, i'd recommend having a professional inspection of your own system. A local company like ours can conduct an assessment and ensure that everything is in tip-top shape. We offer services such as air quality testing, which can identify potential issues before they become a problem. Our team will carefully examine the ducts for any signs of contamination or blockage.

In terms of precautions, you should regularly clean or replace your air filters to maintain good indoor air quality. Filters should be checked and changed every 30-90 days depending on usage. Additionally, keep an eye out for any unusual odors, discoloration, or visible dirt in the ducts which might indicate a need for cleaning.

If you decide that it's time for a deep clean, make sure to choose a reputable company that complies with local regulations. In dubai, companies like us adhere to guidelines set by the emirates and follow best practices to ensure safe and effective duct cleaning.

Don't hesitate to reach out if you have more questions or want to schedule an inspection. We're here to help keep your indoor environment healthy and pleasant. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com with any concerns.

Remember, while the occasional neighbor's duct cleaning shouldn't cause too much concern, keeping a vigilant eye on your own system will ensure peace of mind.
