Should I clean ducts after dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm a few weeks ago, I noticed a lot of debris and an unpleasant odor in my living room vents. It’s hard to tell if it’s from the storm or something else, but now that spring cleaning is on my mind, I’m considering having the ducts cleaned. Do you think this is necessary, and what should I expect to pay for professional duct cleaning services in Dubai?

Absolutely, it's a great idea to consider duct cleaning after the dust storm. In dubai and the uae, ductwork can accumulate a lot of debris over time, and storms like the one you experienced can exacerbate this issue. Dust, dirt, and other particulates from the storm could have settled inside your ventilation system, leading to the unpleasant odor and visible debris in your vents.

In the uae, there are no specific regulations mandating duct cleaning after a dust event, but it's a prudent step for maintaining indoor air quality. Given that you're already considering this during spring cleaning, here’s what you should expect:

Firstly, professional duct cleaning typically involves a thorough inspection of the entire system to identify any issues such as blockages or signs of mold growth. This is crucial in ensuring your system functions optimally and delivers clean air.

Regarding costs, prices for duct cleaning services can vary based on the size of your home, the extent of the work needed, and the company you hire. In dubai, expect to pay anywhere from 500 dirhams to 2000 dirhams per visit. This includes both residential and commercial properties.

To ensure a reliable service provider, opt for companies certified by reputable organizations or associations. Check if they have any certifications like ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) which can give you peace of mind that the job will be done properly.

Additionally, it's wise to request before-and-after photos and a detailed report on what was cleaned and how. This helps in tracking the effectiveness of the cleaning process and future maintenance needs.

Lastly, if you notice persistent odors or signs of mold growth after the initial clean, consider having your ducts professionally inspected again as there might be underlying issues that need addressing.
