Absolutely not, duct cleaning isn't necessarily a dealbreaker. In fact, it's quite common to encounter the need for duct cleaning in new properties across Dubai and the UAE. The condition of your ducts can significantly impact indoor air quality, which is particularly important given our climate.

Firstly, according to the UAE standards and regulations outlined by the Department of Water Energy & Technology (DWET) and local building codes, regular maintenance checks are advisable for ensuring the healthiness of a property’s ventilation system. This includes checking for dust, debris, and moisture buildup that could lead to mold growth – something especially relevant in our humid climate.

When you get a professional inspection done, duct cleaning might be recommended if there's any sign of significant dirt or allergen accumulation. However, it shouldn't scare you off from buying your new villa. Most reputable real estate agents will offer this service as part of the purchase process to ensure your home is in top condition.

The cost of remediation can vary widely based on the extent of work needed and the size of your duct system. Typically though, expect a professional to charge between AED 1000 to AED 5000 for a thorough cleaning job depending on how much needs to be done. It's always best to get multiple quotes from different companies to ensure you're getting fair pricing.

If the inspection does recommend duct cleaning and if it seems like a significant cost, consider having a second opinion. Sometimes, what might seem like a critical issue could actually just need some minor adjustments or additional maintenance rather than full-scale remediation.

Remember though, don't hesitate to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for professional advice and services if you do find yourself in doubt about the state of your ductwork. Keeping your air clean is crucial for maintaining a healthy living environment in Dubai's climate.

In summary, while duct cleaning might be necessary, it’s not something that should stop you from buying your new villa. Just ensure to take the proper steps and get professional help when needed.
