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.

Should I clean ducts after dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a significant amount of dust accumulated on my windowsills and furniture. My son has also had persistent coughing that seems to worsen when we run the air conditioning. Given our location in the heart of Dubai, where duct cleaning is quite common, should I consider having the ducts cleaned professionally? What can I expect in terms of cost and how often should this be done?

Yes, after the recent dust storm, it's highly recommended that you consider having your air ducts cleaned. The heavy dust and sand particles can indeed accumulate within your HVAC system, leading to issues such as reduced airflow, increased energy consumption, and poor indoor air quality (IAQ). In Dubai, where we experience such storms rather frequently due to our geographic location, regular maintenance is crucial.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, there are no strict regulations mandating duct cleaning. However, it’s generally advised by professionals like us at Saniservice to clean your HVAC system every 3-5 years depending on the frequency of dust events and use. Given that you've noticed a significant amount of dust on windowsills and furniture, it's possible that your air ducts are also harboring much more than meets the eye.

Professional duct cleaning can involve vacuuming the interior surfaces of your ductwork, inspecting for mold or other contaminants, and sometimes even replacing filter media. The cost varies widely depending on the size of your home, the extent of contamination, and the method used. Typically, a thorough clean might range from AED 200 to AED 1500 per visit.

It’s important to note that running the air conditioning after such storms can actually spread dust particles throughout your home, worsening symptoms like coughing. Hence, it would be wise to schedule a professional inspection and cleaning as soon as possible to address both immediate and long-term concerns for your family's health.

Always ensure you choose a reputable service provider who adheres to proper safety measures and uses the right equipment. You can reach out to us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a free consultation and quote. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is key to your family's well-being in the heart of Dubai.

With regards to frequency, try to plan an inspection every year as part of your maintenance routine especially if you live in areas prone to such storms. Regular cleaning can prevent build-up which could lead to more serious issues down the line.
