Who handles duct cleaning and noise issues?« Back to Previous Page

Duct cleaning and dealing with strange noises can indeed be concerning. In the UAE, particularly Dubai, it's important to understand the responsibilities between landlords and tenants regarding such issues.

Typically, landlords are responsible for maintaining the overall condition of the property including the air conditioning system. However, in many cases, tenants might find it more convenient and cost-effective to request a professional duct cleaning service. The Abu Dhabi and Dubai Building Code requires regular maintenance of HVAC systems but doesn't specify who is responsible for the actual cleaning process.

In your situation, with water pooling at the bottom of the ducts and strange noises from the AC, it's wise to contact your landlord first. If they don't respond or if you want a second opinion, hiring a professional inspection service might be prudent. Many companies offer comprehensive air quality checks which can help identify issues such as moisture in the ductwork that could lead to mold growth.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an expert evaluation and remediation if needed. Remember, maintaining proper indoor environmental quality is crucial for health and comfort; ignoring these signs might lead to bigger problems down the road.

If your landlord insists on handling it themselves, make sure they use a reputable service provider known for their expertise in this area. A good professional should be able to provide documentation of their work and address any concerns you may have about the safety and effectiveness of their services.

Lastly, regular maintenance checks can prevent issues from arising; consider setting up a routine inspection with a trusted service provider. This proactive approach will help ensure your home remains healthy and comfortable.

Keep an eye on any changes in air quality or noise levels after addressing these concerns to maintain optimal indoor environmental conditions.
