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.

Should I clean ducts after sandstorms?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent sandstorms, I noticed a lot of dust and debris accumulating in the vents of my condo, especially in the living room. It’s concerning because we’ve had some respiratory issues lately, and I’m wondering if duct cleaning is necessary or if it’s just seasonal allergies. Should I consider hiring professionals to clean the ducts, and what can I expect in terms of costs?

Cleaning ducts after sandstorms is indeed a wise move. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we experience quite harsh sandstorms that can carry significant amounts of dust and debris into our homes. For your situation where you've noticed an increase in dust in the vents and experienced respiratory issues, it might be time to consider having your ducts cleaned.

Firstly, it’s important to understand that while seasonal allergies can cause similar symptoms, they are not always the sole culprit. Accumulated dust and debris in your air ducts can harbor mold spores, bacteria, and other contaminants which may exacerbate respiratory issues, especially for those with allergies or asthma.

In Dubai, according to building codes and regulations, it is recommended that HVAC systems be regularly maintained to ensure they are operating efficiently and effectively. This includes periodic cleaning of the ductwork. However, given recent sandstorms, a thorough clean might not only be beneficial but also necessary.

Expect costs for professional duct cleaning services in the UAE to vary based on several factors such as the size of your home, the extent of the contamination, and the company you hire. Prices can range from AED 1500 to AED 3000 or more depending on these variables. It’s always wise to get quotes from multiple companies before making a decision.

When choosing a service provider, look for one that is certified and experienced in handling HVAC systems specific to the UAE climate. They should also adhere to local standards such as those set by EN 13782:2004 (Code of practice for ducted air distribution).

If you decide to proceed with professional duct cleaning, it’s recommended to do so after the immediate aftermath of a sandstorm when conditions have stabilized. This way, any remaining dust can be effectively removed without spreading too much into your living spaces.
