Should I hire professionals to clean ducts in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent heavy dust storm, I noticed a lot of dust collecting in the vents and on the floor near them. It’s concerning because my children and my husband both have asthma, and I’m worried about allergens and mold. Should I consider hiring professionals to clean our ducts?

Absolutely, hiring professionals to clean your ducts is a smart choice. In dubai, the recent dust storms can definitely deposit significant amounts of dust and debris within your ventilation system, posing a potential risk for allergens and mold growth—especially given that you have family members with asthma.

Duct cleaning in Dubai is governed by local standards that ensure the safe removal of contaminants from your home's air distribution system. According to the UAE Building Code, it’s important to maintain indoor air quality which can be compromised by dust, dander, pollen, and other irritants. These can exacerbate respiratory conditions like asthma.

Given your concern for allergy and mold issues, a thorough duct cleaning could greatly benefit your household. Professional duct cleaners have specialized equipment that allows them to effectively remove built-up dirt, dust, and debris from the entire system including vents, grilles, and even within walls and floors where dust has accumulated due to the recent storms.

Typical costs for professional duct cleaning in Dubai can vary but generally range between AED 200 to AED 500 per linear meter of ductwork. For a typical home, this might cost around AED 1,000 to AED 3,000 depending on the size and layout. It’s always good to get quotes from multiple companies to compare services and costs.

A professional inspection before cleaning is also recommended to assess the current state of your ducts and determine if any remedial action needs to be taken beyond just cleaning. This can help identify issues like mold growth or severe contamination that might need more than a standard clean-up process.

To ensure you get quality service, look for companies certified by reputable organizations such as ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers). These companies often have experienced technicians who use HEPA-filter vacuums and other advanced cleaning methods to thoroughly clean your ductwork without causing damage.

Remember to ask about the before-and-after service reports they provide. This documentation can help you understand how much improvement was made after the cleaning process, ensuring that your home’s air quality has genuinely improved.

If you decide to proceed with hiring professionals, don’t hesitate to reach out for a quote or further information. For instance, you could call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more details and assistance.
