Who cleans AC during heat wave?« Back to Previous Page

Hello there,

In the UAE, specifically Dubai, it's generally the responsibility of the landlord to ensure that major systems like air conditioning units are maintained properly. During a heat wave, this can include cleaning filters and components to keep the system running efficiently and effectively. However, tenants should also be aware of their role in keeping indoor environments clean and healthy.

For instance, you've noticed dust on your bedroom blinds and some noise from the AC unit in the living room. These are signs that the system might need professional attention. Cleaning blinds is a task within the tenant's realm but it’s important to ensure that any cleaning doesn’t interfere with the airflow or functionality of the A/C.

Regarding the AC, if you’re experiencing noise or reduced efficiency, it would be wise to call in a professional service provider. The UAE has strict regulations regarding building maintenance and indoor air quality, as specified by the Ministry of Community Development, Tawteen, and other local authorities. It's crucial to keep these systems clean not only for comfort but also for energy efficiency and longevity.

I recommend reaching out to your landlord to discuss the situation. If they are unresponsive or if you're unsure about the extent of maintenance needed, consider contacting a professional service like Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or via email hello@saniservice.com. They can provide a thorough inspection and cleaning as necessary.

Remember, keeping your living space clean and well-maintained is key to comfort and health during Dubai's hot summer months. Taking proactive steps now can prevent bigger issues down the line.

Thanks for reaching out,
