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? Cost and necessity?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent dust storm, I noticed a lot of dirt on the floor after switching off the AC. It got me thinking about having the ducts cleaned, but I’m not sure how much it would cost or if it’s really necessary. Given our apartment is in the older part of Dubai, do you think it's worth hiring professionals for this job, and what can I expect to pay?

Absolutely, after the recent dust storm, it seems like a good idea to consider duct cleaning. In Dubai and the UAE, we often face similar weather conditions that can lead to an accumulation of dirt, dust, and debris within our HVAC systems. This is especially true for older buildings where maintenance might not be as thorough.

In your case, given the age of your apartment in Dubai, it would indeed be worthwhile to hire professionals for duct cleaning. Older buildings tend to have more accumulated grime which can affect air quality and potentially reduce the efficiency of your AC system. Dust and debris can harbor mold spores and allergens, leading to respiratory issues.

The cost of professional duct cleaning can vary based on several factors including the size of your apartment, how many units are in the building’s HVAC system, and the company you choose. Typically, costs might range from AED 200 for a small one-room unit up to AED 1500 or more for larger multi-unit buildings.

Professional inspection is recommended as part of this process. This will not only help confirm if duct cleaning is necessary but also ensure that the job is done correctly and efficiently, avoiding any damage to your system.

When you decide to go ahead with a professional service, make sure they are licensed and certified. In Dubai, the Emirates Duct Cleaning Association (EDCA) can provide references for reputable companies like Saniservice who adhere to industry standards. You can reach out to them via 800-MOLDS or by email at hello@saniservice.com for more information.

Regular maintenance of your HVAC system is crucial in maintaining good indoor air quality, particularly considering the environmental conditions we experience in the UAE. Keeping up with cleaning and inspections can save you money on energy bills as well as prevent potential health issues from allergens.

Do not delay; get in touch with a professional service to schedule an inspection and cleaning session. It's always better to act now rather than risk your family’s health later.
