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 my air conditioner ducts?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense sandstorms we had last week, I noticed a strange dust cloud when turning on our air conditioner. It’s really concerning because it blows directly into the living room where my kids spend most of their time. Have you ever cleaned your ducts before? What should I expect in terms of process and cost?

Absolutely, you should consider cleaning your air conditioner ducts. The recent sandstorms have brought up some valid concerns about the quality of air circulating through your home. In Dubai and the UAE, it's quite common for dust, pollen, and other particles to infiltrate your HVAC system during such events.

In the UAE, there are no specific mandatory regulations for duct cleaning, but local building codes recommend regular maintenance to ensure good indoor environmental quality (IEQ). Given that you've noticed a noticeable increase in airborne particulates since the sandstorm, it would be prudent to have your ducts inspected and cleaned by a professional. This action not only improves air quality but can also enhance the efficiency of your air conditioning system.

When hiring a service for duct cleaning, make sure they are certified and experienced. They should offer thorough inspections that include visual checks for mold, pests, and debris accumulation. The process typically involves using specialized equipment like vacuums with HEPA filters to remove contaminants from the ducts. Duct sealing might also be recommended if there are any leaks or gaps found during the inspection.

In terms of cost, it can vary depending on the size of your home and the extent of cleaning required. For a small apartment in Dubai, you might expect to pay around AED 1000 - 2000 for a full duct clean. Larger homes or those with extensive buildup could see higher costs.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial, especially when children are involved. Sand and dust can be harmful if breathed in over time.
