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.

Are dirty air ducts causing my children's coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had a few weeks back, I’ve noticed a persistent cough in both of my children, especially in the evening when we’re all inside. The living room where the main AC unit is located seems to be the epicenter of this issue. Could this be related to the ductwork? What signs should I look for that might indicate dirty air ducts are causing these symptoms?

Are dirty air ducts causing my children's coughs?

Based on the information provided and considering the recent dust storm, it is quite plausible that dirty air ducts could be contributing to your children’s persistent cough. In the UAE, especially during such dusty conditions, airborne particles can get trapped in the HVAC system's filters and ductwork, leading to poor indoor air quality (IAQ) over time.

In Dubai/UAE, regulations regarding IAQ are stringent but it's important to ensure that your home complies with these standards. The primary signs of dirty ducts causing issues like coughing include a noticeable increase in dust or allergens around the house, unusual odors emanating from the vents, and an overall decrease in air quality.

In your situation, the living room being the epicenter suggests that this area might have more exposure to the AC unit's output. Given that both of your children are experiencing coughing, especially during evening hours when everyone is indoors, it could indeed be related to the ductwork not being cleaned regularly.

I recommend scheduling a professional inspection with a company like Saniservice who can provide a thorough assessment and clean your ducts if necessary. They adhere to local regulations and use EPA-approved methods for cleaning HVAC systems which are essential in maintaining good IAQ.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information on their services, including duct cleaning packages tailored for residential properties in Dubai/UAE.

Remember that regular maintenance of your HVAC system can greatly improve indoor air quality and reduce the risk of health issues like coughing, especially during dusty periods.
