AC duct cleaning questions and answers

As an indication, duct cleaning for an apartment starts from AED 450 and for a villa from AED 1,200. Large villas with several units, very dirty ducts or difficult access cost more. The company confirms the price before the visit.

Some offers cover only the grilles and a quick blow-through; others include opening access points, negative-pressure vacuuming, coil and drain tray cleaning. Compare what is included, not only the headline price.

As an indication, from AED 200 per fan coil unit. A full apartment with its ducts and grilles usually starts from AED 450.

There is no fixed rule. Many companies suggest every one to two years, and sooner after renovation, a move-in, or a period of heavy dust. A camera check behind a few vents helps you decide.

No. We are a referral service and hold no certification or approval ourselves. If a company tells you it holds one, ask to see the certificate before the work starts.

We cannot make health claims. A clean system has less dust in it, but if you have allergy or breathing concerns, speak to a doctor. An independent indoor air test can tell you what is actually in the air.

Someone needs to give access, move fragile items away from the vents and confirm at the end that the AC runs normally. Tenants should tell the landlord, and in towers, building management, in advance.
