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.

Could duct cleaning solve my musty odor issue?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent musty odor in my bedroom on the second floor. The AC filter is clean, but it feels like something up high needs attention. Should I consider professional duct cleaning, or could this be due to other factors? What typically does such a service cost in Dubai, and are there any signs that might indicate if it's really necessary?

Duct cleaning can indeed be a crucial step to resolve musty odors. In the UAE, especially after heavy rain like you experienced last month, it's common for moisture to find its way into HVAC systems causing mold growth and unpleasant smells. In Dubai, temperatures fluctuate greatly from day to night, making it easy for condensation to form inside your ductwork.

Firstly, it’s wise to inspect the condition of other parts of your HVAC system like checking the evaporator coils, air handlers, or even the exterior unit if you have one located in a damp area. Sometimes the smell could stem from these components rather than the ducts themselves. If everything seems clean and dry but the odor persists, professional duct cleaning is highly recommended.

In Dubai, costs for duct cleaning can vary widely based on several factors including the size of your home, the extent of the work needed, and whether you choose a larger company or a smaller local service provider. On average, you might be looking at around AED 1000 to AED 3000 for a comprehensive clean, but always get multiple quotes before committing.

Some signs that indicate duct cleaning is necessary include:
• Persistent musty smell
• Visible mold growth within the system
• Increased allergens or dust in your home despite regular cleaning
• Dampness around air vents

Remember, a professional inspection can help pinpoint the exact cause of the odor. If it's determined that your HVAC system needs attention, duct cleaning is likely part of the solution.

If you decide to proceed with duct cleaning, ensure the company you choose uses HEPA filters and follows EPA guidelines for mold remediation and dust control. Also, consider having a thorough inspection done first to avoid unnecessary costs.
