Should I hire pros for duct cleaning?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a lot of dirt settling on my furniture in the living room. My kids have also been complaining about throat irritation, which I think might be due to all that stuff floating around in the air. Should I consider hiring professionals for duct cleaning, and how much does it typically cost?

Absolutely, hiring professionals for duct cleaning is definitely something to consider. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, our climate and environment can lead to a variety of indoor air quality issues. The recent dust storm you experienced could have kicked up a lot of particulates that are now circulating through your home’s HVAC system. This is especially concerning given the symptoms your kids are experiencing.
In Dubai, according to the UAE Ministry of Public Works (MoPW) regulations, it's essential to maintain healthy indoor environments, which can be compromised by dirty ducts and HVAC systems. Regular cleaning can help reduce allergens like dust mites, mold spores, and pet dander that can trigger respiratory issues in children and adults alike. Throat irritation could very well be a result of the increased presence of these irritants in your home’s air. Professional duct cleaning is not only about removing visible dirt but also addressing hidden contaminants that might not be easily noticeable. This process involves using specialized equipment like vacuum trucks, brushes, and inspection cameras to thoroughly clean all parts of the ductwork. Typically, costs for professional duct cleaning can vary based on factors such as the size of your home, extent of contamination, and the services included (e.g., only cleaning vs. deep cleaning including disinfection). In Dubai, you might expect prices ranging from AED 200 to AED 1500 or more depending on these variables. However, it’s always a good idea to get multiple quotes. I would strongly recommend having your system inspected first by a professional to determine the exact condition of your ducts and the extent of cleaning needed. Many companies offer free estimates and consultations that can help you make an informed decision. Considering the health concerns for your family, investing in duct cleaning could be one of the best steps toward improving indoor air quality. It’s not just about aesthetics; it's about the well-being of everyone living in the home. So, don't hesitate to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional assessment and quote. Remember, keeping your HVAC system clean is crucial for maintaining good indoor air quality, especially during seasons with high particulate levels like after dust storms. |
