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 much does duct cleaning typically cost?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a lot of water pooling in the basement near the air conditioning unit, and now there's this really unpleasant odor that doesn't seem to go away. The ducts might be the culprit, but I'm not sure about the costs or if it’s worth hiring professionals. How much can I expect to pay for professional duct cleaning, and are there any signs that I should definitely get it done right away?

Duct cleaning costs can vary widely depending on the size of your system, the extent of contamination, and the services you require. In Dubai/UAE, prices for professional duct cleaning typically range from AED 200 to AED 1500 or more per unit, considering both residential and commercial properties.

For a small to medium-sized home with standard AC units, expect costs around AED 400 to AED 800. Larger homes or commercial spaces might see higher bills due to the volume of work involved. Make sure you get multiple quotes from different contractors to compare services and prices before making your decision.

It's important to note that if you've noticed water pooling in your basement, it could be a sign of a more serious issue like a leaking AC unit or condensation problems. This situation can lead to mold growth, which not only smells bad but can also cause health issues for you and your family. Mold remediation might become necessary, and it's best to get a professional inspection right away.

If the odor persists despite cleaning visible areas, it’s highly recommended that you contact a professional for a thorough inspection of your ductwork and air conditioning system. Saniservice is a reputable company in Dubai with expertise in this area. Their team can assess your situation accurately and provide a detailed plan of action. You can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to set up an appointment.

Remember, regular maintenance and cleaning are key to keeping your indoor air quality optimal and avoiding potential health risks. Don't hesitate to seek professional help if you suspect issues with your ductwork or air conditioning system.
