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 professionals to clean ducts?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent dust storm, I noticed a lot of dirt accumulating on our windowsills and even inside some of the less accessible areas. The ducts in my apartment near the Burj Khalifa seem like they might be a major source of this mess. Given how old the building is, should I consider hiring professionals to clean them? What can I expect in terms of costs for such a service?

Absolutely, considering the age of your building and recent dust storms, it might be wise to think about getting your ducts cleaned. In Dubai, regulations surrounding indoor air quality are stringent due to the harsh environmental conditions we experience regularly. Dust storms, like the one you mentioned, can indeed lead to significant accumulation of debris within the HVAC system, which in turn could impact both comfort and health.

Given that your building is old, it's common for dust and other particulates to accumulate over time. This build-up not only affects the cleanliness but also reduces the efficiency of your air conditioning system, leading to higher energy bills and discomfort during hotter months. Professional duct cleaning can help alleviate these issues by removing accumulated dirt, dust, mold spores, and other particles.

Typically, in Dubai, you could expect costs for professional duct cleaning to range from AED 1500 to AED 3000 per system, depending on the complexity of the job. However, this can vary based on factors such as the size of your unit, the extent of contamination, and the company providing the service.

It's also advisable to request a detailed inspection report before proceeding with any cleaning work. This will help you understand exactly what kind of issues exist in your ducts and how they might be affecting your living conditions. Many companies offer complimentary initial assessments which can give you an idea about the state of your system without committing immediately to full cleaning.

To ensure that you get quality service, always choose a reputable company that follows industry standards. Look for certifications like those from the National Air Duct Cleaning Association (NADCA) or similar bodies in UAE. These certifications guarantee adherence to best practices and safety protocols during the cleaning process.

Remember, keeping your ducts clean is an important part of maintaining indoor air quality, especially given our climate and living conditions. So, don’t hesitate to contact professionals for a thorough inspection and cleaning if you haven't done so recently.
