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 strange noises and allergies linked to duct issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a lot of water pooling near the air ducts in our living room. The AC has also been making strange noises lately, and my allergies have been acting up more than usual. Have you had any issues like this before, or do you think it might be related to the state of our ductwork?

Absolutely! Strange noises from the AC and increased allergies can indeed be linked to issues within your ductwork. In Dubai and UAE, it's quite common for humidity levels to spike after rainy spells which could lead to condensation forming inside the air ducts. This moisture is a perfect breeding ground for mold growth and dust accumulation, both of which can exacerbate allergy symptoms.

The noises you’re hearing might be due to water pooling or ice formation on the ductwork, especially if there’s been recent rainfall. This can affect the airflow and cause unusual sounds like whistling or clunking as air moves through. Mold and mildew growth in the ducts can also lead to unpleasant odors along with those pesky allergy symptoms.

In the UAE, it's crucial to keep your indoor environment clean and hygienic. The Building Code of Dubai requires regular maintenance of HVAC systems including cleaning of air ducts every 1-2 years depending on usage frequency and environmental factors. However, if you've experienced water pooling or have noticed changes in your air quality recently, a professional inspection is highly recommended.

I’d suggest giving Saniservice a call at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or dropping them an email to hello@saniservice.com. They specialize in environmental inspections and remediation and can help identify any issues within your ductwork that might be affecting the air quality and causing those strange noises.

Taking proactive steps now could save you from bigger problems down the line, ensuring a healthier living environment for you and your family.
