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.

Is AC coil cleaning my responsibility?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense heat wave last month, I noticed a strange odor coming from the air vents in my living room. It's only getting worse as it seems to be connected with the AC unit. Are tenants typically responsible for cleaning the coils or is this something the landlord should handle?

Hello there,

coil cleaning is not exactly a glamorous task but it's an important one. Firstly, i must say that in dubai and the uae, the responsibility for coil cleaning can be somewhat ambiguous depending on your lease agreement or local tenant-landlord laws.

usually, landlords are responsible for maintaining the overall functionality of the air conditioning system to ensure its proper operation. this includes regular servicing and cleaning of components such as coils, filters, and ducts. however, there's no one-size-fits-all approach here. it’s crucial that you review your lease agreement or speak with your landlord to clarify expectations.

if the odor is indeed coming from within your ac unit, it might be a sign of mold growth - something that requires immediate attention. in dubai, high humidity levels during summer months can contribute to mold development, especially when moisture accumulates around the air conditioning coils and other internal parts.

i recommend that you call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for professional inspection and remediation services. these experts will be able to assess your system's condition, identify any potential issues like mold growth, and provide a safe solution.

regular maintenance is key in ensuring indoor air quality and preventing such problems. while you might not be responsible for coil cleaning yourself, keeping an eye on the system’s performance and addressing any unusual odors promptly can help maintain a healthy living environment.

remember that ignoring these signs could lead to more serious issues down the line – from health concerns related to mold exposure to costly repairs due to prolonged neglect of your ac unit. so don't hesitate to act now.
