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 poor AC causing my health issues?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be running constantly these days, but it doesn't seem to cool the place as well as before. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been feeling dizzy and my throat has been bothering me more often. Could this be related to poor air quality from my unit? What should I do to check or clean it properly?

Is poor AC causing my health issues?

It's definitely possible that your air conditioning unit could be the source of your discomfort. In the UAE and especially in Dubai, where temperatures can soar to extreme levels during the summer months, a malfunctioning or poorly maintained AC system might affect indoor air quality significantly. The symptoms you're experiencing—dizziness and throat irritation—could indeed be linked to issues with the air conditioner.

Firstly, it's important to understand that in Dubai, as per the UAE’s Environmental Health Regulations, it is mandatory for all HVAC systems to meet certain standards to ensure they do not pose a risk to public health. If your unit is running constantly but still feels warm or stuffy inside, there could be several underlying issues at play.

One of the primary causes might be a clogged air filter or poor maintenance of the AC system. In Dubai, it's recommended that you have your AC serviced annually by a professional to ensure all components are in good working condition. This includes cleaning the evaporator and condenser coils, checking refrigerant levels, and ensuring proper airflow.

Another factor could be the presence of mold growth within the ductwork or unit itself. Mold thrives in humid environments like those found in Dubai’s AC units during summer months. If not addressed, it can release spores into the air that can irritate your respiratory system causing symptoms such as dizziness and throat discomfort.

To properly check or clean your AC yourself, you might start by replacing the air filters every 1-3 months depending on usage. But be warned: cleaning or inspecting more complex parts of the unit like the coils may require professional assistance to avoid damaging the system.

If these measures do not resolve your concerns or if symptoms persist, it would be wise to call for a professional inspection and maintenance service. Companies such as Saniservice offer reliable AC maintenance services in Dubai that can help identify issues with your AC unit.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for health and comfort, especially given the extreme weather conditions we experience here. If you suspect poor air quality might be affecting your well-being, don’t hesitate to reach out for professional assistance.
