Duct cleaning can be a bit of an expense but it's a crucial step towards ensuring the indoor air quality of your new villa. The cost can vary based on several factors including the size of the villa, the type and condition of the ducts, and whether you need to clean other related components like filters or HVAC systems.

In Dubai, there are no specific laws mandating regular duct cleaning but it is highly recommended by experts due to the high humidity levels and frequent use of air conditioning which can lead to dust and mold accumulation. If your inspection suggests that duct cleaning may be necessary, it's not necessarily a deal breaker; however, addressing this issue promptly will help maintain a healthy living environment.

Typically, you might expect to pay between AED 200 to AED 500 per linear meter of ductwork for professional cleaning services. However, it’s wise to get multiple quotes from different companies as prices can vary widely. Some companies also offer packages that may include cleaning, inspection, and even some basic repairs.

I would recommend having a professional come in for an assessment before deciding on the necessity and scope of the work. This will give you a clearer picture of what exactly needs to be done and ensure that the job is done properly.

Remember, keeping your ducts clean not only improves air quality but also helps in maintaining your HVAC system's efficiency which can save you money on utility bills over time.
