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 poor AC be harming our health?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be running non-stop these days, even when it’s not particularly hot. My throat has been feeling scratchy lately, and my partner mentioned they’ve had a persistent cough since we moved into our new place three months ago. Are there any common health risks related to poor air quality from the AC that I should be aware of, or should I consider hiring an HVAC specialist to inspect it?

Could poor AC be harming our health?

Absolutely, the air quality from your AC could indeed be causing some of those symptoms. In UAE, especially in Dubai, we've seen plenty of cases where non-functioning or poorly maintained air conditioning systems have led to respiratory issues and other health problems.

First off, let's not forget that in this climate, AC isn't just a luxury but a necessity for comfort and even health. It is regulated here by the UAE standards, which stipulate minimum efficiency levels for energy usage and indoor air quality should be maintained at certain thresholds. If your AC system is running constantly, it might indicate some underlying issues like high dust or mold levels in the unit, refrigerant leaks (which can affect both air quality and HVAC performance), or even a malfunctioning filter that isn't cleaning the air properly.

Persistent coughing and scratchy throats could be signs of exposure to allergens, irritants, or other harmful particles. In the UAE, we frequently see issues with dust mites, mold spores, and even some industrial pollutants making their way into indoor spaces. These can exacerbate existing conditions like allergies or asthma.

Given your symptoms and the AC's unusual behavior, it would be prudent to get a professional inspection done. Many residents in Dubai opt for an HVAC specialist who can not only check the AC but also perform a thorough air quality assessment of your apartment. This way, you'll know if there are any contaminants that need addressing and how to improve overall indoor environment.

Remember, maintaining proper air quality isn't just about feeling better; it's crucial for long-term health and comfort in such a hot climate. If you're concerned or think the AC might be causing issues, call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com to book an inspection.

Take care of your air quality - it's worth every penny for a healthier home!
