Why is professional AC cleaning important in Dubai homes and offices?

Dubai’s climate creates constant high humidity inside AC systems, which encourages microbial growth. Without proper cleaning, AC units can circulate contaminants throughout indoor spaces.

How is Saniservice different from standard AC cleaning companies in the UAE?

Most AC cleaners focus on visible dust. Saniservice follows a scientific indoor environmental remediation process that targets microbial sources, moisture behavior, and airflow contamination.

Is AC mould common in Dubai buildings?

Yes. Due to year-round AC use, high humidity, and sealed buildings, AC-related microbial growth is extremely common in Dubai residential and commercial properties.

Why does simple AC duct cleaning often fail to solve air quality issues?

Duct cleaning alone does not address coils, drain pans, humidity imbalance, or microbial reservoirs. Without correcting these, contamination quickly returns.

How does Saniservice assess whether an AC system is contaminated?

We begin with system inspection and risk assessment, examining moisture patterns, airflow paths, and areas prone to microbial growth rather than relying on visual assumptions.

Why is fogging not an effective AC disinfection method?

Fogging treats air temporarily but does not remove contamination from coils, drains, or surfaces where microbes grow. It masks symptoms without solving root causes.

Can bleach be used safely inside AC systems?

Bleach fails because it does not penetrate biofilms, can corrode components, and does not correct humidity conditions that allow regrowth.

How does humidity affect AC hygiene in the UAE climate?

Humidity is the primary driver of microbial growth. Without addressing moisture behavior inside the system, cleaning alone will not deliver lasting results.

What does “medical-grade AC disinfection” actually mean?

It refers to controlled cleaning and disinfection methods aligned with indoor environmental health standards, not perfumes or cosmetic sanitizers.

How does Saniservice verify that AC cleaning was effective?

Where required, we use pre- and post-intervention validation methods to confirm that contamination levels have been meaningfully reduced.

Is AC cleaning necessary even if there is no visible mould?

Yes. Microbial contamination often exists inside coils and drains long before visible signs appear, especially in Dubai’s climate.

How often should AC systems be cleaned in Dubai?

Frequency depends on usage, humidity levels, and building type, but most UAE properties require more frequent intervention than cooler climates.

Can poor AC hygiene affect health?

Contaminated AC systems can circulate microbial fragments and irritants that may worsen respiratory symptoms and indoor comfort.

Why does Saniservice sometimes clean less than other companies?

Our methodology focuses on correct intervention. We avoid unnecessary disturbance that can spread contamination or damage system components.

Is this service suitable for villas, apartments, and commercial buildings?

Yes. The same scientific principles apply across residential, commercial, and sensitive environments in the UAE.

How does Saniservice handle AC cleaning in occupied spaces?

We use controlled procedures designed to minimize disruption and prevent the spread of contaminants during cleaning.

What role does airflow play in AC contamination?

Improper airflow allows moisture and particles to settle, creating ideal conditions for microbial growth inside the system.

Can AC cleaning reduce recurring odours?

Yes, when odours are caused by microbial growth or trapped moisture, addressing the source eliminates the problem rather than masking it.

Why is source identification important before disinfection?

Disinfection without understanding the cause leads to recurrence. Our process identifies why contamination formed in the first place.

Who should consider Saniservice’s AC cleaning and disinfection service?

Clients in Dubai who prioritize verified indoor air quality, occupant health, and long-term building performance rather than superficial cleaning.

How do I deal with coil cleaning?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent dust storm, I noticed a layer of dirt and debris on the coils of my air conditioner outside the kitchen. It’s been about two years since they were last cleaned, and the unit seems less efficient now. Should I hire professionals to clean them or can I do it myself? What might the costs be for either option?

How do I deal with coil cleaning?

Cleaning the coils of your air conditioner is an important maintenance task that can significantly improve its efficiency and lifespan. In Dubai/UAE, it's crucial to ensure you comply with local regulations which might include regular servicing for cooling equipment.

The recent dust storm has left a layer of dirt and debris on your outdoor unit’s coils, making them less effective at transferring heat and reducing the overall performance of your air conditioner. Given that it's been two years since they were last cleaned, I recommend considering professional cleaning to ensure optimal results. Professionals have access to specialized tools and detergents that are safer for the environment and more effective than DIY solutions.

DIY Cleaning: If you decide to clean them yourself, start by shutting off the power supply to your air conditioner to avoid any electrical hazards. Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove loose dirt from the exterior of the coils. For tougher grime, mix a solution of mild detergent and water. Wear gloves and goggles for safety, then apply this mixture with a sponge or cloth to gently scrub away the buildup. Rinse thoroughly with a hose after cleaning.

Professional Cleaning: Hiring professionals can save you time and ensure thorough cleaning. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice (call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) offer reliable coil cleaning services that include deep cleaning of both indoor and outdoor units, ensuring your air conditioner operates efficiently again. Professional cleaning not only addresses the visible dirt but also checks for any potential issues that could affect performance.

Costs: The cost of professional cleaning can vary based on the company you choose and the size of your unit. A rough estimate might be around AED 200 to AED 500 per session, depending on the service provider. DIY kits are generally cheaper but require more effort and time.

In conclusion, while DIY cleaning is an option, it may not be as effective or safe as professional cleaning. Regular maintenance of your air conditioning system is key to maintaining a comfortable indoor environment in Dubai’s climate. If you're unsure about how to proceed, feel free to contact Saniservice for advice or to schedule a service.

Remember, keeping your HVAC system clean and well-maintained can lead to significant energy savings and prolong the life of your equipment.
