Raghwat Al Janoub Maintenance and Cleaning
Air duct and AC cleaning in Al Malaz, Riyadh
Al Malaz is one of Riyadh's oldest planned districts, built by King Saud as a housing project for government workers, containing older apartment blocks and villas alongside King Abdullah Park and Al Mutanabbi Park. AC systems in these old buildings have run for decades without regular deep cleaning, so ducts are loaded with years of dust and sediment buildup.
Why the inside of your system matters
-

Stronger cooling, lower running
Coils packed with dust act as insulation, so the compressor runs longer to reach the temperature you set.
-

Cleaner air for the household
Dust and mould inside the duct travel with the air into every room, which is hardest on anyone with allergies or asthma, especially children.
-

The smell stays gone
A surface wipe of the outlets hides the smell for a few days, then it returns on the first humid day because the source is moisture and mould deep in the duct and pan.
-

Scheduled, not reactive
Split units are among the two things in a Saudi building that most reward a scheduled clean rather than waiting for a fault.
Why the job is different in Al Malaz
AC systems in Al Malaz's older buildings show dense dust and sediment buildup after years of continuous use without regular deep cleaning, and outdoor air filters are often completely blocked. The whole method is set out in the details of our air duct and AC cleaning service.
-
Apartment blocks and villas built decades ago with outdated ventilation systems
Al Malaz buildings date to King Saud's era and their ventilation and AC systems use older design standards. Ducts and pipes have never been deep cleaned since first operation, so layers of dust have built up inside, acting as insulation against cooling.
-
Large public parks beside the district releasing particles continuously
King Abdullah Park and Al Mutanabbi Park sit directly next to the buildings and release pollen and dust particles especially during growth seasons, and tall buildings close to the parks pull these particles in regularly.
-
Main streets running through the district with heavy traffic
Salah Al Din Al Ayyubi Street and Al Jamiah Street are major routes carrying high daily traffic, so car exhaust and road dust enter ventilation systems continuously from the surrounding roads.
What's Included
Al Malaz sits beside King Abdullah Park and Al Mutanabbi Park, intersected by Salah Al Din Al Ayyubi Street and Al Jamiah Street, so buildings pull particles from green spaces year-round.
-
The duct run inspected
Inspecting older Al Malaz buildings starts by measuring airflow to gauge blockage from years of operation without deep cleaning.
-
Grilles and outlets removed
Old ducts may carry sticky particles from garden dust and car exhaust mixed with moisture from the system, requiring chemical treatment after dry vacuuming.
-
Extraction connected to the duct
Outdoor air filters in older buildings are often completely blocked, so replacing them is the first step before duct cleaning begins.
-
A rotary brush along the run
Coils and fins in indoor and outdoor units may be coated with layers of fine dust visible only after opening and close inspection.
-
Cooling coils cleaned
Apartment buildings in Al Malaz with central systems need separate inspection of each stage, from outdoor intake through main ducts to indoor branches.
-
The drain pan and any blockage
After deep cleaning the unit is run at different speeds to assess restoration of natural airflow and drops in noise and power consumption.

What is different about Central Riyadh
Central Riyadh is the oldest and busiest part of the city. Olaya and Sulaimaniyah carry the office towers along King Fahd Road and Tahlia Street, including Kingdom Centre and Al Faisaliah, while Al Malaz, Al Murabba, Al Batha and Al Dirah are older apartment blocks with shops on the ground floor, the Masmak quarter and the markets around Qasr Al Hukm. Heavy traffic on the main roads coats glass and shopfronts in a grey exhaust film, older stairwells and tiled corridors show worn grout and scale from the hard water, and the commercial buildings never stop taking footfall.
