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.

Can loose duct seals be fixed myself?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy winds last week, I noticed a significant increase in dust particles inside our home. Upon closer inspection, it looks like the ducts connecting to the master bedroom might have some loose seals that are letting in air from outside. Can someone who has tackled this before suggest if it's something I can handle myself or if we need to call a professional?

Hey there! I understand your concern about the loose duct seals and dust entering your home. In Dubai/UAE, it's indeed important to ensure proper indoor air quality as we experience varying climatic conditions throughout the year.

First off, if you're noticing increased dust in the master bedroom after the recent storms, it’s a good idea to inspect the ductwork thoroughly. Loose seals can definitely contribute to unwanted air infiltration and could be causing your issue. However, before jumping into DIY repairs, there are some steps you should consider:

1. Safety Check: Ensure that all electrical components are turned off if you’re going to work with the HVAC system.

2. Inspecting the Ducts: Look for any obvious signs of damage or loose seals. In the UAE, ductwork is often made from metal and can be susceptible to corrosion or physical damage during extreme weather conditions.

3. Tools Required: You might need some basic tools like a screwdriver, duct sealant, and possibly replacement gaskets. For larger leaks, you may find it easier to use a professional-grade foam sealant that dries quickly.

4. Sealing Technique: Clean the area around the loose seals thoroughly before applying any sealant. This ensures better adhesion. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the sealant or gasket material you choose. For metal ducts, applying a silicone-based sealant can be effective. Use your hands to press the sealant into place and ensure it's firmly attached.

5. Testing: After sealing, test the system by turning on the HVAC unit and checking if there’s still any air leakage or increased dust in the room. If you’re not getting expected results, it might indicate a more serious issue that needs professional attention.

6. Professional Help: In Dubai/UAE, it's recommended to call in a professional for a thorough inspection. Local regulations such as those under the UAE Building Code may require specific standards for ductwork and sealing. A professional can also identify issues you might have missed or suggest any additional measures needed to ensure your home’s air quality meets the required standards.

Remember that while DIY repairs can be cost-effective, they might not always provide a long-term solution, especially in areas prone to harsh weather conditions like Dubai. If you’re unsure or if the issue persists after DIY attempts, it's best to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for expert advice and assistance.

Taking proactive steps now can help maintain your home’s indoor air quality and ensure a healthier living environment.
