Raghwat Al Janoub Maintenance and Cleaning
Air duct and AC cleaning in Al Murabba, Riyadh
Al Murabba is a heritage district in central Riyadh mixing government offices with restored historic homes, and Al Murabba Palace itself stands as an open archaeological site. Heritage buildings here have modern ventilation added to original walls, so ducts often pick up dust seeping from cracks in old masonry as well as street-level pollution.
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 Murabba
Restored heritage homes in Al Murabba keep their original thick masonry but modern ducts are cut through it, creating weak points where dust from aging brick enters the ventilation runs. The whole method is set out in our air duct and AC cleaning guide.
-
Historic buildings with modern ducts cut through them
Al Murabba Palace and other restored heritage homes keep their original thick masonry, but modern ventilation ducts were cut into and around these walls. This creates points where dust and fine sand from the old brick leaks steadily into the duct runs, and no sealant completely stops this migration over time.
-
Archaeological site open to regular visitor traffic
Al Murabba Palace welcomes visitors throughout the week, and footsteps bring dust and sand from the outer courtyard into the inner arcades, and while foot traffic is lighter than a busy market, the dust enters vent openings steadily. Repeated ingress and egress causes air shifts that push particles deep into ducts.
-
Mix of government offices and heritage residential homes
The district holds government offices alongside heritage homes for families, so some systems run at high intensity during working hours while residential units use their units at lighter, steadier rates. This mix means some duct runs need more frequent cleaning than others based on actual usage patterns.
What's Included
Al Murabba sits near Al Murabba District Mosque and heritage sites with lower traffic than other government areas, reducing dust entry somewhat, but the old masonry itself releases periodic dust as surfaces age, adding to internal duct loads.
-
The duct run inspected
Al Murabba's heritage buildings have original walls rich with fine cracks, so duct cleaning needs extra depth and careful inspection for dust sources.
-
Grilles and outlets removed
External AC units in heritage homes are exposed to old brick dust, so they need detailed inspection at every cleaning.
-
Extraction connected to the duct
Al Murabba Palace receives regular visitors, so ducts near entrances accumulate more dust than deep interior duct runs.
-
A rotary brush along the run
Coordination with the archaeological site authority must happen before any maintenance work, to protect historic structures.
-
Cooling coils cleaned
Connection points where ventilation ducts meet original walls may be dust-leak sources, so they are inspected and cleaned with special care.
-
The drain pan and any blockage
After cleaning, airflow is tested to confirm different duct runs distribute clean air evenly through the historic arcades and rooms.
The character of Al Murabba
Historic district: close-set buildings, narrow lanes and ageing services
Al Murabba is a heritage district mixing government offices with restored historic homes, so each building has ventilation needs reflecting its age and the modern systems grafted onto its original structure.
