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.

Can duct sealing affect my family's health?« Back to Previous Page

My apartment has had a strange smell for the past few weeks, and I'm starting to worry it might be duct sealing. I've checked the obvious places but can't find the source. Should I get a professional inspection?

Duct sealing can indeed impact your family's health, especially within the unique conditions of Dubai and the UAE. When improperly installed or poorly maintained, ducts can become breeding grounds for mold, dust mites, and other allergens. In this region where we experience high humidity during certain times of the year, such issues can be exacerbated.

In Dubai and the UAE, as in many parts of the world, it's crucial to maintain a well-sealed HVAC system to ensure that your indoor air quality is up to par. Poorly sealed ducts can lead to several problems. They can allow unfiltered outside air or contaminated indoor air into the ventilation system, which can introduce allergens and pollutants directly into your living space. This might explain why you've been experiencing strange smells; it could be dust, mold spores, or even fumes from improperly sealed connections.

UAE regulations emphasize the importance of proper duct sealing to maintain a healthy environment within buildings. According to the UAE Building Code 2013 (Building Regulations), all HVAC systems must have properly installed and sealed ductwork to prevent leaks and ensure efficient operation. If you suspect that your ducts are not well-sealed, it's highly recommended that you contact a professional for an inspection.

It’s not uncommon for residents in Dubai to experience strange odors or allergic reactions, especially during the cooler months when windows might be closed more often. If you’ve already checked obvious spots and still can’t find the source, it could be time to call in the experts. A professional will use specialized tools to locate any leaks or issues that you might not have noticed.

Remember, in Dubai, the climate is quite variable, and this can affect your home's ventilation system. Regular maintenance, including duct sealing, is key to avoiding these kinds of issues. If you are unsure about what’s causing the smell or if it persists despite your best efforts, contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for a professional assessment.

Taking proactive steps like this can help ensure that your home remains a safe and healthy environment for your family.
