Professional AC duct cleaning with HEPA-filtered negative air pressure system — not a vacuum and a wipe. Rotary brush cleaning, antimicrobial sanitisation, mould treatment, before/after borescope photos. Post-renovation specialists — we clean the construction dust our own team created. Apartments from AED 800. Villas from AED 1,500. Free duct inspection.
Dubai's dust, humidity, and year-round AC operation create the perfect storm for duct contamination. Here's what builds up when ducts aren't cleaned.
Dubai's 60-90% summer humidity + condensation inside ducts = mould colonies within 72 hours of formation. Black mould (Stachybotrys) releases mycotoxins linked to respiratory illness, headaches, and fatigue. A standard AC service doesn't touch inside the ducts where mould thrives.
Renovation generates gypsum dust, paint particles, adhesive fumes, and concrete powder that infiltrate ducts even when vents are sealed. This compacted debris restricts airflow by 30-50%, forces the AC to work harder, and circulates particles through every room. If you renovated and didn't clean ducts — you're breathing construction dust daily.
Dust-clogged ducts restrict airflow, forcing compressors to run longer and harder. Independent studies show 15-30% energy waste from contaminated ductwork. For a typical villa spending AED 3,000-5,000/month on DEWA in summer, that's AED 450-1,500/month wasted — more than the cost of cleaning.
Dust mites, pet dander, pollen, and bacteria accumulate in ducts and circulate through rooms every time the AC runs. If family members have unexplained allergies, persistent coughs, or 'feel better outside' — dirty ducts are the most likely cause. One cleaning often resolves symptoms completely.
Same project, two very different outcomes. Here's exactly how our service compares to the industry standard.

We're a renovation company that cleans ducts — we created the mess, we know how to clean it properly.
We're a renovation company. We know exactly what construction dust does to ductwork because our teams generate it. Post-renovation duct cleaning is our biggest volume — we clean the mess we created, and we know every particle type: gypsum, paint, concrete, adhesive, wood dust.
Industrial HEPA-filtered machine creates negative pressure inside the duct system, pulling all loosened debris into containment — not into your rooms. Every particle captured. No cross-contamination. Hospital-grade filtration standard.
We insert a camera into your ducts before we start and photograph the contamination. After cleaning, we photograph the same spots. You see the difference with your own eyes. No 'trust us' — visual proof delivered via WhatsApp within 24 hours.
After mechanical cleaning, we apply antimicrobial biocide that kills remaining mould, bacteria, and prevents regrowth for 6-12 months. Not a spray-and-hope — a verified treatment protocol. Critical in Dubai's humidity.
Duct cleaning without coil cleaning is half a job. We clean AHU/FCU evaporator coils, drain pans, and condensate lines as part of duct cleaning — because dirty coils are where mould starts. Most duct cleaners charge this as 'extra.'
Restricted airflow from dirty ducts forces compressors to work harder. After cleaning, airflow improves immediately and measurably. Clients consistently report 15-30% DEWA reduction in the first month. The cleaning pays for itself within 2-3 months.

4.9/5 rating. Real feedback from homeowners who can now breathe properly.
"First Unicorn renovated our kitchen and recommended duct cleaning 3 weeks later. They extracted so much construction dust I couldn't believe we'd been breathing it. The before/after borescope photos were shocking — thick grey coating inside the ducts. DEWA bill dropped AED 380 next month. Should be mandatory after every renovation."
"My daughter's allergies got worse every summer. Doctor said indoor air quality. Tried air purifiers — didn't help. Called First Unicorn for duct inspection — the camera showed black mould in 3 duct sections. After cleaning + antimicrobial treatment, her symptoms disappeared within a week. We now book annual duct cleaning every March."
"I manage 22 apartments for overseas landlords. Duct cleaning is now part of every tenant turnover. First Unicorn does it in 4 hours, same day as the deep clean. Tenant complaints about 'musty smell' dropped to zero. AED 1,000-1,200 per apartment — worth every dirham for a complaint-free handover."

Apartments: Studio AED 800, 1BR AED 1,000, 2BR AED 1,200, 3BR AED 1,500-1,800. Villas: 3BR AED 1,500, 4BR AED 2,000, 5BR AED 2,500, 6BR+ AED 3,000-3,500. Post-renovation: 30-50% premium (AED 1,200-7,500). Commercial: AED 15-35/sqm. All prices include equipment, labour, sanitisation, and before/after photos.
Every 12-18 months for most properties. Every 6-12 months if you have pets, allergies, or the property is near construction. Immediately after any renovation. If the property was vacant for 3+ months with AC off, clean ducts before running the system.
Yes — completely different service. AC servicing cleans the indoor unit (filter, coil, drain). Duct cleaning cleans the entire duct network between the AC unit and the room vents. Most AC service companies don't clean inside the ducts at all. Think of it as: AC service = cleaning the engine. Duct cleaning = cleaning the pipes.
Equipment and time. AED 300 services use a household vacuum and take 1-2 hours — they clean visible vent openings only. AED 1,500 services use HEPA-filtered negative air pressure machines, rotary brushes, and take 6-8 hours — cleaning every inch of ductwork including branch lines. The cheap service leaves 80% of the contamination untouched.
Yes — every job. We insert a borescope camera into the ducts before cleaning and photograph the contamination. After cleaning, we photograph the same spots. Side-by-side comparison sent via WhatsApp within 24 hours. You see exactly what we removed and what your ducts look like now.
Yes — full mould remediation. Mechanical removal of visible mould, followed by antimicrobial biocide treatment that kills remaining spores and prevents regrowth for 6-12 months. For severe cases (black mould), we recommend a follow-up inspection at 3 months. Mould in ducts is serious — it circulates spores through every room.
Absolutely — this is our strongest recommendation. Renovation generates gypsum dust, paint particles, and concrete powder that infiltrate ducts even when vents are sealed. Running the AC after renovation without duct cleaning circulates construction particles through every room. We recommend cleaning 2-4 weeks after renovation completion.
Apartments: 4-8 hours. Villas: 6-12 hours. Commercial: depends on sqm. Most residential jobs are completed same day. We arrive in the morning and finish by evening. Your AC is ready to run immediately after.
Yes — 15-30% reduction is typical. Dirty ducts restrict airflow, forcing compressors to work harder and longer. After cleaning, airflow improves measurably and the AC cools more efficiently. For a villa spending AED 3,000-5,000/month on DEWA in summer, that's AED 450-1,500/month saved.
Yes — offices, retail, warehouses, restaurants (kitchen exhaust). Commercial pricing: AED 15-35/sqm depending on duct complexity. Weekend service available for zero business disruption. Kitchen exhaust/grease duct cleaning for F&B fire safety compliance also available.
Yes — 20% discount on duct cleaning for AC AMC clients. Villa AMC Gold and Platinum tiers include annual duct cleaning at no extra charge. Essential and Premium tiers can add duct cleaning at 20% off the standalone price.
We guarantee the mechanical cleaning result — if borescope inspection within 30 days shows residual contamination in areas we cleaned, we re-clean at no charge. Antimicrobial treatment effectiveness guaranteed for 6 months under normal use conditions.
Free borescope inspection, contamination assessment, and fixed-price quote. Most jobs completed same day. 800+ properties cleaned. Before/after photos guaranteed.
