Who cleans air ducts in a rental?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the intense sandstorms we had last week, I noticed a slight but persistent dustiness in the air even when the windows were closed. The AC vents in my bedroom have been particularly dusty this month, and it’s making me wonder if someone should be cleaning the ducts. Given that it's a rental, whose responsibility would it typically be to clean the air ducts?

Air duct cleaning is indeed a crucial aspect of maintaining good indoor environmental quality (IEQ) and it's great that you're concerned about the dustiness in your bedroom. In the UAE, specifically Dubai, the responsibility for cleaning air ducts can vary depending on the type of property.
For rentals, typically the landlord or building management company is responsible for ensuring that HVAC systems are maintained properly, including regular duct cleaning. However, it's always a good idea to check the rental agreement or speak with your landlord about their maintenance policies. If they have not addressed this issue, you might want to bring up the matter, as it can affect your comfort and health. In Dubai, there aren't specific regulations mandating who should clean ducts, but according to best practices, it's generally recommended that commercial and residential buildings undergo professional duct cleaning every 3-5 years. This helps in eliminating accumulated dust, mold spores, and other allergens that can circulate through the air. If you're experiencing persistent issues despite regular maintenance or if you suspect there might be a serious problem like mold growth, it's advisable to have a professional inspection done. Many companies offer free initial consultations where they can assess your duct system and recommend necessary cleaning or remediation steps. Given the recent sandstorms in Dubai, it’s not uncommon for dust accumulation to occur more frequently. If you're unsure about who should handle the task, reaching out to a company like Saniservice would be prudent. They offer reliable duct cleaning services that can help improve your indoor air quality. Remember, maintaining good IEQ is key to preventing respiratory issues and ensuring a comfortable living environment.
