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.

Is duct sealing related to my closet dampness?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in my master bedroom closet. The AC in this room also seems to be working overtime, which is unusual since it’s not one of the hottest rooms in our apartment. We’ve lived here for 2 years and just noticed these issues, so we’re unsure if they are recent or have been there all along. Have you had any experience with duct sealing, and can you give me an idea of what costs to expect versus hiring a professional?

Duct sealing can be related to your closet dampness issue. Dampness and excessive AC usage might indicate some underlying problems within the HVAC system. In Dubai/UAE, we often face issues like this due to climate conditions and building design.

Firstly, it's important to understand that ducts are a vital part of any air conditioning system. They carry conditioned air from the central unit throughout your home. If there are leaks or gaps in these ducts, warm outside air can infiltrate, making your AC work harder to cool down the space, thus leading to higher energy bills and potentially causing moisture issues like dampness.

In your case, the master bedroom closet seems to be more affected than other areas of your apartment. This could suggest that there are leaks in the ductwork servicing this area specifically. Duct sealing involves identifying these gaps and then applying a sealant to make sure air flows efficiently through the system without any loss.

As per UAE regulations, it’s crucial to ensure that all HVAC systems meet certain standards for energy efficiency and indoor environmental quality. Leaky ducts can violate these norms, making your AC inefficient and leading to unnecessary moisture in areas like closets where humidity levels are already high due to Dubai's climate.

For a thorough assessment, I recommend hiring a professional company specializing in HVAC maintenance and repair. Companies such as Saniservice (call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) can help you identify the extent of the issue and provide solutions including duct sealing if necessary. They will also check for other potential issues that might be contributing to your dampness problem.

The cost of duct sealing can vary widely depending on the scale of work required, which is why a professional evaluation is key. Typically, it starts from a few hundred dirhams but can go up based on the complexity and size of the project.

Remember, maintaining proper indoor air quality in Dubai is essential for health reasons. Addressing issues like dampness early can prevent bigger problems down the line such as mold growth or structural damage to your home.
