Should duct cleaning affect my unit?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely not! Duct cleaning done in one apartment shouldnt directly affect your unit. However, it is always good to be cautious and keep an eye out for any changes within your space.

Firstly, its important to know that ducts are designed as a network of air passages connecting from the HVAC system throughout the building's living areas. While cleaning one part might not immediately impact yours, cross contamination can occur due to shared air handlers or improperly sealed ductwork. Therefore, it is wise to get your own ducts inspected and cleaned if you notice any changes in indoor air quality.

In Dubai/UAE, there are no specific regulations mandating regular duct cleaning but the Building Code of Abu Dhabi requires that HVAC systems be maintained regularly. This means having a professional inspect and clean the ductwork every 5-10 years depending on the usage and environment. However, if you notice any issues like musty odors, increased allergens or dust, visible mold growth, or see a significant drop in air quality, it would be prudent to call for an inspection.

Remember that maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial in Dubai's climate, so don't hesitate to keep your space as clean and healthy as possible.

Keep an eye on the cleanliness of shared spaces like corridors or common areas too. If you notice any signs of mold, dust, or other issues, report it to management immediately.

In conclusion, while duct cleaning in a neighboring apartment shouldn't directly affect yours, its wise to be proactive about your indoor air quality. Regular checks and professional maintenance can ensure that the air you breathe is as clean as possible.
