What should I consider for cleaning home vents?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent dust storms, I noticed a lot of debris stuck in the vents throughout our home, especially in the living room. Given that it’s already been two years since we had the ducts cleaned, I’m considering whether to hire professionals or do it ourselves. What should I expect in terms of cost and effort for a thorough cleaning?

Cleaning home vents is indeed a crucial task for maintaining indoor air quality. In the UAE and particularly in Dubai, where we often experience dust storms, it's even more important to ensure your ventilation system is free of debris. Here are some points you should consider before embarking on duct cleaning.
Firstly, if you’re considering doing this yourself, be aware that it’s a labor-intensive process. You need to remove all the filters and then access the ducts which may require tools or even a ladder for hard-to-reach areas. Additionally, dust and debris can irritate your respiratory system, so ensure you have proper protection like masks and gloves. The cost of professional duct cleaning in Dubai generally ranges from AED 200 to AED 500 per linear meter of ductwork cleaned. For a typical home, this could mean a total cost ranging from AED 1,000 to AED 3,000 depending on the size and complexity of your system. However, it’s important to note that UAE regulations require professionals to be certified and equipped with the right tools for thorough cleaning. If you decide to go the DIY route, ensure you have the appropriate equipment such as vacuum cleaners specifically designed for ducts, brushes, and a ladder if needed. The process involves inspecting the entire system, removing debris from the ducts, and reinstalling filters. However, it's highly recommended to opt for professional inspection and cleaning services. Professionals have specialized tools that can effectively clean your entire ventilation system, including areas inaccessible by DIY methods. They also follow UAE standards ensuring a thorough job is done, which can significantly improve air quality in your home. After the recent dust storms, you may notice a significant amount of debris stuck in the vents, especially in high-traffic areas like living rooms. This underscores the importance of regular maintenance and cleaning to avoid potential issues like reduced airflow or increased energy costs due to clogged ducts.
