Duct cleaning can indeed be pricey but it's an essential step to maintaining indoor air quality, especially if you're moving into a new villa. In the UAE, regulations aren't as stringent as some other countries, but they still recommend keeping your ducts clean and free of contaminants to ensure healthy breathing air.

The cost of duct cleaning in Dubai can vary widely depending on the size of the villa, the extent of the work required, and the company you hire. Typically, a small to medium-sized house might range from a few thousand dirhams up to 5000 AED or more for thorough cleaning and disinfection. Larger properties with extensive duct networks could see costs upwards of 10k AED.

It's worth noting that in some cases, the inspection you've had may have flagged issues that require immediate attention. If the report mentions serious concerns like mold growth, allergens, or other contaminants, it would be wise to get a professional assessment and remediation done without delay. Not addressing these can lead to health problems for yourself and your family.

Before hiring someone, ensure they are certified and licensed. Look for companies that offer thorough cleaning methods using advanced tools and techniques like negative pressure vacuums and HEPA filters. You might want to ask for references or check online reviews too.

As a general rule of thumb, it's better to invest in duct cleaning rather than dealing with the consequences down the line. Poor indoor air quality can lead to respiratory issues, allergies, and other health problems that are costly both financially and in terms of your wellbeing.
