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.

Are HVAC ducts spreading dust causing coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had a couple of weeks ago, I’ve noticed a persistent cough in both my son and daughter. The symptoms are worst early in the morning when I first wake up and right after the air conditioner kicks on to cool down the apartment. It’s like there’s something really thick in the air that they can’t quite expel. The filters in our AC units look clean, but I’m starting to worry about all the dust and debris that might be circulating through the ducts. Have you noticed any changes in your family's health after cleaning your HVAC system?

Are HVAC ducts spreading dust causing coughs?

Dust storms can indeed stir up significant amounts of particulates that get into the air and can cause respiratory issues like coughing. In your situation, considering the recent heavy dust storm followed by persistent coughing in your children, it is highly plausible that the dusty air from outside has made its way inside through your HVAC system's ductwork. The filters you mentioned looking clean might indicate they are doing their job of capturing most airborne particles but could be missing smaller or heavier debris.

In Dubai and across the UAE, dust storms can be particularly intense due to the geographic location and weather patterns. It’s not uncommon for these storms to bring in a large amount of sand and other fine particulates that can irritate respiratory systems, especially those of young children.

Given your symptoms, it would be wise to have a professional inspection done on your HVAC system and ductwork. In Dubai, you might want to consider Saniservice's services as they are well-regarded in the field of environmental inspections and remediation. Their experts can thoroughly clean your ducts, ensuring that no harmful particles remain circulating within your home.

According to UAE regulations, it is important to maintain proper air quality standards especially in residential areas. This includes regular cleaning and maintenance of HVAC systems which play a significant role in indoor air quality. If you decide not to seek professional help, at the very least, it’s advisable to increase ventilation in your home during times when dust storms are likely.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a comprehensive inspection and cleaning service that can help alleviate these symptoms. Remember, clean air is crucial for maintaining good health, especially for children.

Hope this helps!
