Dirty AC coils causing my kids' allergies?« Back to Previous Page

Yes, absolutely. What you are describing is a very common and significant cause of allergic reactions and respiratory issues in Dubai households. The black, grime-covered coils in your AC unit are almost certainly a primary contributor to your children's constant coughing and allergies.

Here’s why: In the UAE's climate, our AC systems run constantly, pulling in the region's fine, sandy dust and high humidity. This combination creates a damp, dark environment inside the unit that is an ideal breeding ground for mold, mildew, bacteria, and a significant accumulation of allergens. Every time the AC turns on, it forcibly blows these contaminants throughout your entire villa in Mirdif. Your family is essentially breathing air that has passed over this contaminated surface, which can trigger allergic rhinitis, asthma, coughing, and other respiratory problems.

It is not recommended to continue running the AC in this state. While you may need it for comfort, you are continuously exacerbating the indoor air quality issue and your children's exposure.

For a situation this advanced, a professional inspection and comprehensive cleaning is strongly advised. DIY cleaning often fails to remove all the biological growth and can damage the delicate fins of the coil. We follow strict Dubai Municipality guidelines for indoor environmental quality and use specialized EPA-approved disinfectants and coil cleaning solutions that not only remove the visible grime but also eradicate the hidden microbial colonies.

For the health of your family, I recommend you contact our team at Saniservice for a professional assessment. We can provide a thorough hygienization service that will restore your indoor air quality. Please call us at 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection.
