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 poor AC affecting my son's cough?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be running more often lately, especially at night. My son has had a persistent cough for the past couple of weeks, and it’s really worrying me since he doesn’t have allergies or a cold. Could this be related to the indoor air quality? What should I do to check if there's an issue with the AC or improve the air in our home?

Absolutely, the AC system can indeed play a significant role in your son's cough. In Dubai and the UAE, the high humidity levels and frequent sandstorms can significantly impact indoor air quality (IAQ). The increased usage of your AC might be a sign that it’s not functioning efficiently or there could be issues with the filters.

Firstly, check if your AC unit is being used correctly. Ensure that the filter is clean and replaced regularly as recommended by the manufacturer—typically every 3-6 months for residential units in Dubai. Clogged filters can restrict airflow leading to more frequent operation and can harbor dust mites, mold spores, and other allergens.

Secondly, inspect your AC unit itself for any signs of damage or malfunction. Look out for leaks (both water and refrigerant), unusual noises, or a foul smell emanating from the system. These could be indications that it’s time to call in a professional technician. In Dubai, you can contact companies like Saniservice who are well-versed with local climate conditions.

Moreover, consider installing additional air purifiers in your home. Air purifiers equipped with HEPA filters can effectively remove fine particles and allergens from the air. This is especially beneficial for allergy-prone individuals or those suffering from respiratory issues.

It’s also advisable to have a professional indoor air quality assessment done by a company such as Saniservice. They can provide a detailed analysis of your home's IAQ, identify potential sources of pollutants, and recommend specific solutions tailored to your environment.

Remember that in Dubai, the temperature and humidity levels can fluctuate dramatically between day and night. Ensuring that your AC is properly maintained can help maintain consistent indoor conditions which are essential for good health.

Lastly, monitor other factors such as ventilation; make sure there's adequate air flow through your home. In many buildings, especially older ones, natural ventilation might be limited. Using exhaust fans or opening windows (weather permitting) can improve IAQ by reducing the concentration of pollutants inside.

If you suspect that poor indoor air quality is affecting your son’s health and these steps don't seem to help, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional who can perform further tests and provide medical advice specific to his condition. Don’t hesitate to reach out to 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for professional assistance.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial in Dubai’s climate conditions and can greatly contribute to the overall health of your family.
