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 fix duct gaps under lease?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense heatwave we had last month, I noticed a significant increase in dust and small pests entering through gaps around our ducts. The living room near the air conditioning unit seems to be the worst affected area. We’ve lived here for 2 years and just noticed this issue; should I be concerned about my rental agreement regarding these repairs?

Duct sealing is crucial for maintaining indoor air quality and efficiency of your HVAC system. In Dubai/UAE, regulations regarding residential buildings often focus on energy conservation and ensuring a healthy environment for occupants. However, when it comes to duct gaps causing issues like dust influx or pest entry, you are within your rights as a tenant to address these problems.

Given that you've only noticed the issue recently after an intense heatwave, it's possible the air pressure changes might have exacerbated existing gaps. In such cases, having a professional inspection can help determine if there’s significant damage or wear and tear in the duct system. This is especially important as per UAE standards which emphasize regular maintenance of HVAC systems to prevent health hazards.

If you feel comfortable doing so, you could start by sealing visible gaps with appropriate materials like silicone sealant or specialized duct mastic. However, for a thorough job, it’s advisable to call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for an inspection and repair service. A professional can assess the extent of damage, ensure no air leaks are present, and provide guidance on the best sealing methods.

As per your lease agreement, tenants in Dubai have a responsibility to maintain their living space but landlords are typically responsible for major repairs that affect safety or health conditions. If you notify your landlord about these issues, they should address them promptly. However, if there's no immediate response, it may be wise to document the extent of the problem and take necessary steps yourself while consulting with a professional.

Remember, proper duct sealing not only enhances air quality but also improves the efficiency of your AC system, potentially saving you money on utility bills in the long run. So don’t hesitate to act if you feel the situation warrants it.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for further assistance and a professional opinion.
