Should I clean my ducts professionally?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a lot of dirt collecting behind the vents in my bedroom. The AC unit also seemed quite dirty when I cleaned it out. Given how long we’ve had this apartment (two years), should I consider hiring professionals to clean the ducts? What can I expect in terms of cost and how noticeable will the difference be?

Absolutely, it’s wise to consider having your ducts professionally cleaned, especially after the heavy dust storm that hit last month. In Dubai and UAE in general, regulations around indoor environmental quality aren’t as strict or comprehensive as some other regions, but ensuring clean and well-maintained ductwork is crucial for maintaining a healthy living environment.

First off, the accumulation of dirt behind your vents and on your AC unit suggests that dust and debris have been circulating through your home. This can lead to several issues, from reduced efficiency of your air conditioning system to potential health risks such as allergies or respiratory problems. Given the duration since you moved in - two years - it’s likely that significant amounts of dirt and allergens have built up.

Professional duct cleaning typically involves using specialized equipment like vacuums with HEPA filters, which can effectively remove contaminants from deep within your ductwork system. This process not only improves air quality but also enhances the efficiency of your HVAC system. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer professional duct cleaning services that are well-regarded.

Costs for professional duct cleaning in Dubai can vary widely depending on factors such as the size of your home and the extent of contamination. A rough estimate might range from AED 1000 to AED 3000, but it’s best to get quotes directly from local service providers.

The noticeable difference after a thorough clean? You’ll likely experience improved air quality, reduced dust in your home, and potentially better performance from your AC unit. Many customers report noticing these changes within weeks of the cleaning.

Remember, routine maintenance is key. Depending on environmental conditions such as frequent sandstorms or proximity to construction sites, it might be wise to have your ducts cleaned every 3-5 years.

If you decide to proceed, make sure to choose a reputable company and request detailed reports on their cleaning process and results. Saniservice for instance, offers comprehensive inspection services that can help identify any issues beyond just the ductwork.

So, if you're concerned about the air quality in your home or want to ensure top performance from your AC unit, give 800-MOLDS a call or email hello@saniservice.com to book an appointment. Your family’s health and comfort are worth it!
