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 professionally after dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a lot of dust collecting on the window sills inside my living room. The air conditioning unit in the hallway also seems to be working harder than usual. Should I consider getting the ducts cleaned professionally, and what can I expect in terms of costs for such a service here in Dubai?

Absolutely, you should consider having the ducts cleaned professionally after such an intense dust storm. In Dubai and across the UAE, heavy winds often bring in a lot of dust which can quickly accumulate within your ventilation system. This buildup not only affects air quality but also impacts the efficiency of your air conditioning unit.

Following last month's dust storm, it is quite common to see dust on window sills. This accumulation suggests that the air inside your home is carrying a significant amount of particulates. Professional duct cleaning can help remove these contaminants and improve indoor air quality. Additionally, with your AC working harder than usual, there might be an increase in energy consumption due to reduced airflow.

In Dubai, it's important to note that local regulations typically don’t mandate regular duct cleaning but recommend it as part of routine maintenance for HVAC systems. The Dubai Municipality does offer guidelines on maintaining indoor air quality and suggests that homeowners should consider professional duct cleaning every 3-5 years or more frequently if there’s high dust content in the environment.

For a typical residential home, costs can vary widely depending on the size of your system, the extent of the blockage, and which company you choose. Generally, expect to pay anywhere from AED 1000 to AED 3000 for a full duct cleaning service. It's always beneficial to get quotes from multiple companies to ensure you're getting good value.

It’s also wise to request a professional inspection of your HVAC system before the cleanup process begins. This can help identify any underlying issues that might be contributing to the dust buildup, such as filters needing replacement or leaks in the ductwork.

If you decide to go ahead with the cleaning, make sure to choose a reputable company like Saniservice. They are known for their expertise and professionalism in this field. You can reach out to them via phone at 800-MOLDS (66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for more information.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for your health, especially during times like these when external conditions are less favorable.
