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 issues cause family coughs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, we've noticed a persistent cough among family members, especially in the bedroom near the ducts. The noise from the AC has also increased significantly, making it hard to sleep at night. Could this be due to issues with our office duct system? What should I look for or how can I check if there’s something wrong?

Absolutely, duct issues can indeed lead to family coughs especially if they're located close to sleeping areas like bedrooms. In Dubai and the UAE, it's common to experience dust storms that can kick up a lot of particulates into the air. These particles can get into your HVAC system through poorly sealed or damaged ductwork, leading to an increase in airborne contaminants.

Firstly, you might want to consider checking if there are any visible signs of damage or debris inside your ducts. Look for dust accumulation, which could indicate that the filters aren't being cleaned regularly enough. In Dubai and other UAE cities, it's recommended to change or clean HVAC filters every 30 days during peak seasons like the summer months.

Also, inspecting the condition of the ducts themselves is important. Over time, they might become cracked, loose, or even detached from the registers which can allow unfiltered air into your living space. This can be particularly problematic if there are areas in your building that aren't properly sealed or insulated against dust and debris.

Another factor to consider is the noise level of your AC unit. Increased noise could indicate issues such as a dirty filter, loose parts within the system, or even an imbalance in airflow. In Dubai, high ambient temperatures can make this issue more noticeable, but it's important not to dismiss it as just part of summer operation.

If you notice any of these signs, it would be wise to call in a professional for inspection and cleaning. The UAE has specific regulations on indoor air quality, and ensuring your HVAC system is maintained properly can help comply with them. For instance, the UAE Ministry of Energy and Public Works (MoEPW) has guidelines that recommend regular maintenance checks.

Given these points, it's crucial to address the issue promptly. Not only for the health of your family but also to maintain a comfortable and healthy living environment. If you need assistance or have concerns about the air quality in your home, feel free to contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. We can provide expert advice on maintaining your HVAC system and ensuring it's functioning optimally.

Remember, a clean and well-maintained HVAC system not only improves indoor air quality but also enhances the overall efficiency of your AC unit, reducing energy consumption and saving you money in the long run.
