Should I remind my landlord about vent cleaning?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a lot of debris collecting in the vents throughout our living room. My landlord has mentioned that it's their responsibility to clean the ducts annually, but I'm not sure if that includes after unexpected weather events like this one. Given how long we’ve lived here and the noticeable improvement in air quality once they were cleaned last year, should I bring this up with my landlord?

Absolutely, it's wise to bring up the duct cleaning issue with your landlord. After such an intense dust storm, the accumulation of debris can significantly impact indoor air quality and your comfort levels. In Dubai/UAE, there are no specific regulations mandating annual duct cleaning; however, it is a common practice recommended by HVAC professionals.

Given that you've noticed significant debris in the vents and considering how much better the air quality was after the previous professional cleanings, I would definitely suggest discussing this with your landlord. Not only does annual maintenance help maintain good indoor air quality but also ensures that the system operates efficiently, which can save on utility bills.

It's important to know what exactly is included in their cleaning service and if they handle unexpected debris accumulation due to weather events like dust storms. If you feel it's necessary, consider having a professional inspection done. This will not only give you peace of mind but also help identify any potential issues that might need immediate attention.

Should you decide to proceed with a clean, it’s worth checking out companies like Saniservice who offer reliable duct cleaning services in the area. They can provide a thorough clean and advise on maintaining your HVAC system for optimal performance.

Remember, keeping the air quality high is crucial for health and comfort, especially considering the climate here. Don't hesitate to request an inspection or speak with your landlord about the situation.
