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.

How much does duct cleaning cost in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a layer of dust on the vents in my living room, and my son has been complaining of an itchy throat. Given how old our building is, I’m considering duct cleaning but am unsure about the costs and whether it’s necessary. How much does professional duct cleaning typically cost in Dubai, and what signs should I look for that indicate it's really needed?

Duct cleaning prices in Dubai can vary quite a bit depending on several factors. Generally, the cost can range from AED 500 to AED 2,500 or more for a full system clean. The price usually depends on how extensive the cleaning process is (e.g., just the supply ducts vs. both supply and return ducts), the size of your home or building, and whether there are any additional services like decontamination or sanitization included in the package.

For an older property like yours, it's indeed worth considering a thorough inspection. Dust, mold, and other allergens can accumulate over time, especially after unusual weather conditions such as rain, which you've experienced recently. These particles could be causing your son’s throat irritation.

Here are some signs that suggest duct cleaning might be necessary:
• A noticeable increase in dust on surfaces like furniture or floors
• Persistent respiratory issues or allergy symptoms among household members
• An unpleasant smell coming from the vents
• Visible mold growth around your HVAC system

If you're leaning towards having it cleaned, ensure to choose a reputable company that complies with UAE standards. The Abu Dhabi Health Centre and Dubai Municipality both have guidelines for indoor air quality which professionals should adhere to.

Before hiring anyone, ask about their certifications, experience in dealing with residential buildings like yours, and the specific methods they use to clean your ducts. Some companies may offer advanced techniques such as negative pressure cleaning or using specialized vacuums that can effectively remove contaminants from deep within the ductwork.

Remember, regular maintenance and inspections are key to maintaining good indoor air quality. If you're concerned about costs, it might be wise to schedule a free consultation with an environmental inspection company like Saniservice (call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com). They can provide a detailed quote based on your specific needs and offer tips on how to reduce future cleaning costs.

Taking proactive steps now could significantly improve the air quality in your home, making it healthier for everyone.
