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

Absolutely, given your concerns about allergies worsening and the recent dust storm that left debris stuck throughout the house, it’s definitely worth considering professional duct cleaning. In Dubai and other parts of the UAE, environmental regulations often emphasize maintaining good indoor air quality to protect residents from allergens and contaminants.

Dust storms can introduce a lot of particulate matter into your home, including pollen, sand, dust mites, and even mold spores. If these particles accumulate in your ductwork, they can circulate throughout the house with each ventilation cycle, exacerbating allergy symptoms. Professional duct cleaning not only removes visible debris but also tackles hidden accumulations that may have built up over time.

In Dubai, it’s quite common to hire a reputable service provider for this task. The cost can vary depending on several factors such as the size of your property and the extent of cleaning required. Generally speaking, you might expect to pay between AED 200 to AED 500 per room or zone, but this is just an estimate. For a comprehensive clean of all ducts in a typical residential home, you could be looking at around AED 1,500 to AED 3,000.

It’s advisable to go for a professional inspection first. This will help assess the current state of your ductwork and determine if cleaning is necessary or if other remediation steps are needed. Professional companies like Saniservice provide these services and can give you an accurate quote based on their assessment.

Remember, regular maintenance is key in keeping your indoor air quality at its best. Consider scheduling a routine inspection every 1 to 2 years, especially if you live in areas prone to dust storms or have family members with respiratory issues.

If you do decide to go ahead, be sure to choose a licensed and certified company that adheres to local standards. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information on their services and to schedule an appointment.
