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.

Does my AC need coil cleaning or something else?« Back to Previous Page

My AC unit in the living room has been making this weird, almost gurgling noise lately, and I noticed the air coming out isn't as cold as it used to be. I live on the 12th floor in a high-rise in Dubai Marina, and I've been trying to keep the temperature down with this heat wave. After checking the filters, they seem clean, but I can see some dust buildup on the coils when I peek inside. Could this be a sign that I need to get the coils cleaned, or is there something else I should be looking into?

It sounds like you are experiencing some common issues that can arise with air conditioning units, especially in a high-rise setting like Dubai Marina, where humidity and heat can take a toll on system efficiency. The gurgling noise and reduced cooling performance can indeed be indicative of several factors, and cleaning the coils is certainly one of the potential solutions.

Firstly, it's great that you've checked the filters, as clean filters are vital for maintaining airflow and system efficiency. However, if there's dust buildup on the coils, that can lead to decreased heat exchange efficiency, which could explain the warmer air coming from your AC. Over time, debris and dust can accumulate on both the evaporator and condenser coils, which can hinder their ability to absorb and dissipate heat effectively.

In Dubai, the extreme temperatures and humidity levels can exacerbate these issues. The UAE has specific regulations regarding indoor air quality and HVAC maintenance, which emphasize the importance of regular maintenance to ensure optimal indoor environmental quality. For residential buildings, it's generally recommended to have a professional inspection and cleaning of your AC system, including the coils, at least once a year. Considering the heat wave you’re experiencing, it might be wise to consider scheduling this sooner rather than later.

Additionally, the gurgling noise you mentioned could also be associated with refrigerant issues or even a drain clog. If the refrigerant levels are low, it can lead to inefficiencies and strange noises, while a clogged drain can cause water to back up and produce sounds.

Given these possibilities, I recommend that you contact a professional environmental inspection and remediation company for a thorough inspection. They will be able to assess the condition of your coils, check for refrigerant levels, and ensure that there are no blockages in the drainage system.

If you’re in need of immediate assistance, don’t hesitate to call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional consultation. It’s always better to address these issues early on to avoid more significant problems down the line. Regular maintenance not only improves your AC’s efficiency but also enhances the overall indoor air quality of your home.
