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 often should ducts be cleaned?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I noticed a lot of debris accumulating in our ductwork. The AC in my apartment has been running much louder than usual, and it seems like there's more heat even though I keep the temperature set lower. Have any of you experienced similar issues or know how often the ducts should be cleaned to prevent this from happening again?

In dubai, the frequency of duct cleaning can vary depending on several factors. Generally speaking, it's recommended to have your ducts cleaned every 3-5 years for a standard residential or commercial property. However, there are some circumstances that might require more frequent cleanings.

For instance, in the UAE where we experience dust storms and high particulate matter in the air during certain seasons, you may need to increase this schedule. After those intense dust events like the one you mentioned last month, it’s wise to get your ducts cleaned sooner rather than later. Accumulated debris can lead to a decline in air quality, increased noise from your HVAC system, and even potential issues with energy efficiency.

I've seen firsthand how dirty ductwork can make an AC unit work harder, which not only increases the risk of breakdown but also escalates your utility bills. Given that you're experiencing more heat than usual despite lowering your thermostat, it's very likely that there is a significant amount of dust and debris clogging your system.

It’s advisable to get a professional inspection done post-dust storms. Our company, Saniservice, specializes in these kinds of assessments and can help identify any issues related to air quality, noise reduction, or energy efficiency. We use state-of-the-art tools that allow us to inspect the entire ductwork without damaging your home.

Remember, regular maintenance isn't just about cleaning; it’s also about ensuring that your system is operating at its peak performance. By addressing these concerns early on, you can save money and ensure a healthier environment for yourself and your family.

So if you're concerned about the state of your ducts or want to schedule an inspection post-dust storm, don't hesitate to give us a call at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email us at hello@saniservice.com. We’re here to help and ensure that you're getting the best out of your HVAC system.

Cleaning isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about maintaining an environment where everyone can breathe easy and live comfortably.
