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 ducts to improve indoor air quality?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a lot of dust settling on everything in the living room. My family is also experiencing more coughing lately, which has me concerned about indoor air quality. Given that we've lived here for two years and this seems like a perfect time to improve our home environment, should I consider hiring professionals to clean the ducts? What can I expect in terms of cost and how often do people in Dubai typically get their ducts cleaned?

Absolutely! Duct cleaning can make a huge difference in your indoor air quality especially considering we've experienced such heavy dust storms recently. In Dubai and the UAE, it's pretty common to see sand and other particles making their way into our homes. With you living here for two years now, it’s high time to consider having your ducts cleaned.

Firstly, let's talk about why this is important. Over time, dust, allergens, mold spores, and even pet dander can accumulate in your HVAC system’s ductwork. This can lead to a decrease in air quality, which may explain the coughing you've been experiencing among family members. Clean ducts not only help improve the air quality but also enhance the efficiency of your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.

Now, regarding costs, it depends on how big your home is and what company you choose to do the job. Typically, in Dubai, expect to pay between AED 200 to AED 500 per room for duct cleaning. For a standard-sized house, this could be around AED 1,000 to AED 2,500 depending on the service provider and the extent of work needed.

Speaking from experience, in Dubai, most people get their ducts cleaned every two to five years. However, if you live in an area with high dust levels or have noticed a significant drop in your HVAC system’s performance, it might be wise to clean sooner than that.

When hiring professionals, make sure they are reputable and certified. They should follow local guidelines like those set by the UAE Ministry of Energy and Water (MEW) for indoor air quality standards.

Lastly, don’t forget about other aspects of home maintenance that can impact air quality such as regular cleaning of filters in your HVAC system and keeping your home well-ventilated to reduce humidity levels which can foster mold growth.

If you're concerned or if symptoms persist, it’s always a good idea to have a professional inspection. We recommend calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for more details on their services. They offer comprehensive indoor air quality assessments and duct cleaning in Dubai that can help ensure your home is as healthy as possible.

Remember, clean ducts = cleaner air!
