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 poor AC causing indoor air issues?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be running constantly these days, but the air still feels stuffy and heavy. Every time I open a window, there's an immediate drop in temperature, yet the inside of the room doesn't feel much cooler. My kids have been complaining about their coughs getting worse since we started using it more often. Could this be due to poor indoor air quality, or is it something simple I can fix myself?

Indoor air quality can indeed be affected by your AC system. In the UAE and especially in Dubai, where we experience high temperatures throughout much of the year, air conditioning is a critical component for maintaining comfort levels inside buildings. However, if you're experiencing stuffiness, heavy air, or even coughs from your kids, it might indicate that there's an issue with how your AC system operates or perhaps poor indoor air quality.

Firstly, it’s crucial to check the filter of your AC unit regularly. In Dubai’s climate, dust and pollen are common allergens that can accumulate quickly in filters, leading to a less effective cooling process and potentially contributing to stuffiness. Clean or replace your filters as recommended by the manufacturer – usually every 1-3 months.

Secondly, consider if your AC is adequately ventilating the space. If you're noticing a drop in temperature when opening windows but not much change inside after turning on the AC, it might indicate that your system isn't providing enough airflow. Ensure there are no blocked or restricted air vents and check for any leaks around the unit.

Another factor to consider is humidity levels. High humidity can make indoor environments feel heavier and stuffy. In Dubai, using dehumidifiers in conjunction with AC units can help manage moisture content, making the air more comfortable.

Moreover, poor air quality inside your home could be due to other factors such as insufficient outdoor air intake by the AC system or even stagnant air within the building. It’s advisable to have a professional perform an indoor air quality assessment as per UAE standards like EN 13779:2010 which defines minimum requirements for ventilation in residential buildings.

If you suspect that the issues are more complex, it would be wise to call for a professional inspection. You can reach out to Saniservice at their hotline number 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email them at hello@saniservice.com for an expert consultation.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is vital for both comfort and health, especially in a place like Dubai where we rely so heavily on AC. Regular maintenance of your AC unit and ensuring proper ventilation can go a long way in improving the situation you’re experiencing.
