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 AC ducts professionally?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a lot of debris and dust on the floor near the air vents in my living room. The AC seems to be working harder than usual too. Given that it’s been two years since our last cleaning service, should I consider hiring professionals for duct cleaning? What can I expect in terms of costs and how long does the process usually take?

Absolutely, it's wise to consider hiring professionals for duct cleaning. After the dust storm we had, your observation of debris and dust accumulating near the air vents is a clear sign that your AC system could be in need of attention. In Dubai/UAE, regulations are not overly stringent on this but ensuring your system is clean can significantly improve indoor air quality and efficiency.

Firstly, let's talk about what you can expect from a professional duct cleaning service. A typical process might start with an initial inspection by a qualified technician who will assess the condition of your ductwork. This includes checking for debris, mold growth, or other contaminants that could be affecting your home’s air quality. Once the assessment is complete, they’ll provide you with a detailed report outlining any issues and recommending a cleaning plan.

Costs can vary depending on the size of your home and the extent of work needed. On average, it might range from AED 200 to AED 500 per linear meter, but a full system clean could cost around AED 1,000 to AED 3,000 for an average-sized home. Always get multiple quotes and check the credentials of any service provider you consider hiring.

The process usually takes between 2-4 hours, depending on how extensive the cleaning is and the layout of your ductwork. It’s a good idea to schedule this during the cooler months when you’re not running your AC as much; this way, you won’t be left without cool air for too long.

It's also worth noting that regular maintenance can help prevent issues like those you've observed. Cleaning every two to three years is generally recommended unless there are noticeable problems sooner.

If you decide to proceed, do ensure the company you choose has experience in handling UAE conditions and follows best practices. You should see a significant improvement in your air quality and potentially in how efficiently your AC operates once the ducts are cleaned.

Lastly, if you notice any unusual odors or suspect mold growth, it’s crucial to have an inspection done right away as this could be more serious than just dust accumulation. In such cases, it would be wise to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional assessment and remediation.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is key to your comfort and health, especially in the hot and dusty conditions of Dubai.
