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 indoor air removal cost?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy fog we experienced last week, I noticed a strange dampness in the air conditioning unit of our second-floor flat. The smell is quite off-putting and my kids have been complaining of persistent coughs since then. Given that we’ve lived here for two years without any issues like this, should I consider hiring an indoor air quality expert to check out the problem?

Indoor air removal costs can vary widely depending upon the extent of contamination and the methods employed. In Dubai/UAE, it's wise to consult a professional to assess your specific situation as regulations like those by the UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) may apply.

For starters, the cost for an initial inspection ranges from AED 500 to AED 2,000. This usually includes air quality testing, moisture assessment, and a preliminary evaluation of potential sources of contamination. Once you have received the results, further actions like air purification systems or mold remediation might be recommended.

In your case, given the strange dampness in the AC unit coupled with persistent coughs from your kids, it would indeed be prudent to hire an indoor air quality expert. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer such services and can help identify the root cause of these issues.

Saniservice's team will likely recommend that you take a few steps:
1. Get the AC unit professionally cleaned and checked for any water intrusion or mold growth.
2. Consider installing a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter in your HVAC system to improve overall air quality.
3. Ensure proper ventilation throughout your home, especially in kitchens and bathrooms where moisture can accumulate.

The actual cost of these actions will depend on the specifics but typically, a full remediation process including air purification systems could range from AED 5,000 to AED 20,000 or more. However, this is just an estimate; it's crucial to get a quote after consulting with a professional.

Remember, the well-being of your family should be top priority. Persistent coughs and other health issues could indicate something serious, so don't hesitate to take action. If you decide to proceed, feel free to contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation.

It's also worth noting that UAE standards emphasize the importance of maintaining healthy indoor environments. By addressing issues early, you can avoid potential long-term health impacts and ensure your home remains a comfortable living space.
