FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

This section provides clear and reliable information about our NADCA-certified duct cleaning and disinfection services. From understanding procedural standards to learning about building air quality, we’ve compiled answers to the most common questions. Our certified specialists follow strict ISO, NADCA, NEBB, and ASHRAE guidelines to help you achieve efficient, comfortable, and compliant indoor environments.

What are duct cleaning services and why are they important in Saudi Arabia?
Duct cleaning services involve the comprehensive removal of dust, debris, contaminants, and microbial growth from HVAC system components including supply and return air ducts, registers, grilles, diffusers, heat exchangers, cooling coils, and air handling units. In Saudi Arabia's desert climate, airborne sand, dust, and particulate matter accumulate rapidly within ductwork, significantly reducing indoor air quality and system efficiency.


The EPA reports that indoor air can contain 70 times more pollutants than outdoor air when HVAC systems remain uncleaned. For Saudi Arabia's residential, commercial, and industrial facilities, regular duct cleaning is essential to maintain healthy indoor environments, reduce energy consumption, prevent respiratory issues, and comply with health and safety regulations. NADCA recommends professional inspection and cleaning whenever ducts appear dirty or every 3-5 years for optimal performance.

How do I know if my building needs HVAC duct cleaning and balancing services?
Several indicators suggest your HVAC system requires professional cleaning services in Saudi Arabia. Visual signs include visible dust buildup around air registers, dark staining or streaks near supply vents, musty or unpleasant odors when the system operates, and excessive dust accumulation on furniture despite regular cleaning. Operational symptoms include reduced airflow, inconsistent temperatures between rooms, increased energy bills, frequent HVAC repairs, and excessive system runtime.


Health-related indicators include increased allergies or respiratory complaints among occupants, persistent coughing or sneezing indoors, and aggravation of asthma symptoms. According to NADCA's simple rule: "If your ducts look dirty, they probably are." Our certified specialists conduct free inspections using robotic camera technology to assess your system's condition and provide detailed recommendations. For commercial facilities in Riyadh, Jeddah, or Dammam, we offer comprehensive assessments that identify contamination levels and efficiency issues before they impact operations or occupant health.

Why is selecting a NADCA-certified company crucial for buildings in Saudi Arabia?
Selecting a NADCA-certified contractor ensures your duct cleaning project meets internationally recognized standards for quality, safety, and effectiveness. NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) certification requires rigorous training, adherence to ACR-2013 procedural standards, and demonstrated competency in proper cleaning techniques. Only certified Air System Cleaning Specialists (ASCS) possess the knowledge and equipment necessary to thoroughly clean HVAC systems without causing damage.


In Saudi Arabia, where extreme temperatures demand reliable HVAC performance, improper cleaning by unqualified contractors can damage ductwork, spread contaminants, or provide incomplete service that wastes resources. Shan International maintains the region's only NADCA certification, ensuring compliance with ISO, WHO, CDC, EPA, and ASHRAE standards. Our certification guarantees proper equipment usage, appropriate cleaning methods, and comprehensive documentation that meets insurance and regulatory requirements throughout the Kingdom. Certified contractors also carry proper insurance and follow safety protocols that protect your facility and occupants.

What is included in a professional HVAC duct commissioning and cleaning report?
A comprehensive NADCA-certified duct cleaning report includes detailed documentation of the entire service process. Pre-cleaning assessments feature robotic video inspection recordings, contamination photography, airflow measurements, and system condition evaluations. The scope of work section details all components cleaned including supply ducts, return ducts, grilles, registers, diffusers, heat exchangers, cooling coils, condensate pans, air handling units, and blower assemblies.


Cleaning methodology documentation describes equipment used, techniques applied, and products utilized including EPA-registered antimicrobial treatments. Post-cleaning verification includes comparative before-and-after photographs, particle count testing results, airflow verification measurements, and visual inspection confirmations. The report concludes with NADCA certification, technician credentials, compliance statements, and maintenance recommendations.


For commercial facilities in Saudi Arabia, these reports provide essential documentation for building management, insurance compliance, health department requirements, and operational records. Shan International delivers comprehensive reports that exceed industry standards and provide transparent documentation of all services performed throughout Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, and the wider Kingdom.

How often should duct cleaning and performance testing be conducted in Saudi Arabia?
NADCA recommends professional duct inspection whenever systems appear dirty, with thorough cleaning typically needed every 3-5 years for most commercial and residential facilities. However, Saudi Arabia's unique environmental conditions often necessitate more frequent service intervals. The Kingdom's desert climate generates substantial airborne dust and sand that infiltrates HVAC systems, accelerating contamination accumulation.
Specific facilities require customized maintenance schedules based on operational demands.

Hospitals and healthcare facilities should inspect systems annually due to infection control requirements. Pharmaceutical manufacturing and clean room environments need quarterly inspections to maintain certification compliance. Commercial kitchens must clean exhaust systems quarterly or semi-annually per NFPA 96 standards. Industrial facilities with process-generated contaminants benefit from annual inspections and cleaning.


Residential buildings in high-dust areas should consider inspection every 2-3 years, while office buildings typically maintain adequate air quality with 3-5 year intervals. Following system modifications, water damage, renovation projects, or occupant health complaints, immediate inspection is advisable regardless of previous cleaning dates. Our certified specialists provide customized maintenance schedules tailored to your facility's specific conditions and operational requirements throughout the Kingdom.

Can duct cleaning improve energy efficiency and reduce utility costs?
Yes, professional duct cleaning significantly improves HVAC energy efficiency and reduces operational costs throughout Saudi Arabia. Contaminated ductwork restricts airflow, forcing systems to work harder and consume more electricity to maintain desired temperatures. Dust accumulation on heat exchangers and cooling coils reduces thermal transfer efficiency, requiring longer operating cycles and increased energy consumption. Studies demonstrate that clean HVAC systems operate 15-25% more efficiently than contaminated systems.


In Saudi Arabia's extreme climate where air conditioning represents 60-70% of building energy consumption, even modest efficiency improvements generate substantial cost savings. Additionally, clean systems experience less mechanical wear, reducing maintenance expenses and extending equipment lifespan. Improved airflow distribution eliminates hot and cold spots, reducing thermostat adjustments and unnecessary system cycling.


For commercial facilities managing significant utility expenses in Riyadh, Jeddah, or Dammam, duct cleaning represents a cost-effective investment that delivers measurable ROI through reduced electricity bills, decreased maintenance costs, and improved occupant comfort. Our NEBB-certified Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing services further optimize system performance, ensuring maximum efficiency and minimum operating costs for facilities throughout the Kingdom.
