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 duct cleaning covered by insurance?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had a few weeks ago, I’ve noticed a persistent dry cough and sneezing whenever I enter my bedroom. The window there hasn’t been opened in months due to the heat, but even when it’s closed, the air feels thick with something. Could this be related to the ductwork? What should I do about cleaning it?

Duct cleaning is indeed something to consider given your situation. The dust storm you experienced can certainly stir up all sorts of particulates that might be lingering within the ductwork. In Dubai/UAE, the regulations surrounding indoor air quality and building maintenance are quite stringent to ensure a healthy environment for residents.

Firstly, it’s important to note that whether duct cleaning is covered by insurance depends largely on your policy terms. Many home insurance policies do not cover routine or preventative services such as duct cleaning unless specifically stated. However, if the issue you're experiencing is related to a recent event like the dust storm and causes damage or requires emergency repairs, there's a possibility it could be reimbursable.

For peace of mind, and given that you’re noticing persistent symptoms in your bedroom - especially after such an event - I'd recommend seeking out a professional inspection. Saniservice, for instance, offers comprehensive duct cleaning services tailored to the local climate and conditions. Their experts can assess if there's any contamination or blockage in your system that might be causing your respiratory issues.

A professional inspection is crucial here as it will not only help identify the source of your symptoms but also provide a detailed report on the state of your HVAC system. This way, you can make informed decisions about what needs to be done and whether insurance coverage applies.

If Saniservice or any other reputable service provider determines that duct cleaning is necessary, they’ll likely clean your entire system to ensure all areas are free from debris and contaminants. Regular maintenance like this can prevent future issues and keep the air in your home as clean and healthy as possible.

So, if you decide to proceed with a professional inspection or service, call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for Saniservice or email hello@saniservice.com. They can guide you through the process and help address any concerns you may have.

Remember, while it’s tempting to do DIY cleaning, the tools and techniques required are often beyond what a homeowner might have access to. Professional service providers like Saniservice have the expertise and equipment needed for thorough and effective duct cleaning in Dubai/UAE conditions.
