How to choose a certified AC duct cleaning company?« Back to Previous Page

Our kids have been having a really bad runny nose and cough for a couple of months now, especially in their bedrooms, and we can't seem to get rid of this dusty, stale smell in the air no matter how much we clean. We live in a villa in Al Barsha that’s about ten years old and I’m starting to suspect the AC ducts are the problem. How do I go about choosing a certified and trustworthy company to inspect and clean our air conditioning system?

Given your villa's age in Al Barsha and the persistent symptoms, your suspicion about the AC ductwork is highly probable. In Dubai's climate, these systems are a primary reservoir for dust, microbial growth, and allergens that standard cleaning can't reach.

Choosing a certified provider is critical. First, verify they hold a valid TRAKHEES or Dubai Municipality license for this specific activity; general cleaning licenses are insufficient. They must follow the NADCA ACR-2022 Standard for assessment, cleaning, and restoration. A legitimate company will conduct a comprehensive pre-inspection, often with a borescope camera, to show you the actual contamination inside the ducts before any work begins.

Avoid companies that offer extremely low prices or promise a quick, one-hour job—proper cleaning of a villa's system takes several hours. Insist on a detailed method statement outlining the use of HEPA-filtered negative air machines and agitation tools, not just a basic vacuum. They should also provide a post-cleaning verification report.

For your situation, with clear health symptoms and a stale odor, a professional inspection is non-negotiable. We specialize in forensic-level indoor air quality investigations and certified remediation. For immediate assistance and to schedule an inspection with a certified specialist, please call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537, or email hello@saniservice.com.
