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 hire a pro to check my humidifier?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be struggling with the high humidity lately, especially during the summer months. Every time I turn it on, there’s a noticeable mist coming out, and I can smell something mildew-like even though I clean the filters regularly. My kids have been complaining of stuffy noses and coughing, which makes me wonder if the indoor air quality is really an issue here. Do you think I should hire a professional to check the system or could this be fixed with some adjustments myself?

Absolutely, it sounds like your apartment's humidity levels might be causing some issues. In the UAE, especially during our summer months, high humidity can definitely play a part in how well your AC performs and affects indoor air quality. The mist coming out of your unit and that mildew-like smell are clear signs that something is not right.

Firstly, it’s important to understand that in Dubai and the UAE, the Building Code requires efficient HVAC systems for residential buildings. However, regular maintenance is key to keeping these systems working properly. Given what you're experiencing, I'd definitely recommend having a professional inspection done by a company like Saniservice - you can contact them at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or via email at hello@saniservice.com.

When it comes to DIY fixes, there are some steps you could take before calling for help. First, ensure that the drain pan underneath your AC is not clogged; standing water can breed mold and contribute to those smells. Also, check if the air filter in your unit is clean but also consider replacing it with a higher MERV rated filter (up to 13 or 14) which could help trap more airborne particles including allergens.

However, considering the symptoms you mentioned – stuffy noses and coughing from your kids - I strongly advise seeking professional assistance. High humidity levels can lead to mold growth, and indoor pollutants like those can definitely affect respiratory health in children and adults alike. A pro will be able to assess the situation fully, check for any potential issues with your AC unit or dehumidifier, and provide necessary solutions.

Remember, while you might think that regular cleaning of filters is enough, professional inspections go beyond routine maintenance and can identify deeper issues that could impact not just comfort but also health. Don’t hesitate - reach out to Saniservice today for a consultation and peace of mind!
