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 pros for AC issues or buy purifier?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be running all the time, but it’s still not cooling effectively, and I’ve started to notice a strange smell coming from the vents. I live in a two-bedroom flat in Dubai Marina, and it's been especially humid lately. I’m concerned about the indoor air quality, especially since I have young kids at home. Should I just buy an air purifier, or do you think it’s worth hiring professionals to check the ductwork and clean the system? What kind of costs should I expect for that?

When dealing with indoor air quality issues, especially in a humid climate like Dubai, it’s essential to approach the situation with care, particularly when young children are involved. The symptoms you’re describing—an AC unit that runs continuously without effectively cooling and strange odors from the vents—can indicate underlying problems that may require professional attention.

In Dubai, the high humidity levels can lead to mold and mildew growth in air conditioning systems, which could be contributing to the odors you’re experiencing. Additionally, insufficient cooling may stem from blocked or dirty ductwork, or even issues with the AC unit itself. While air purifiers can help improve indoor air quality by filtering out particulates and some odors, they are not a substitute for a thorough inspection and cleaning of your HVAC system.

Hiring professionals to assess your ductwork and clean your AC system is advisable, especially given the potential health risks associated with poor indoor air quality. The UAE has specific regulations regarding indoor air quality, and professional services can ensure that your living environment meets these standards. Regular maintenance and cleaning of your AC system can not only enhance its performance but also help prevent health issues related to air quality.

As for costs, a professional inspection and cleaning of your ductwork can range from AED 400 to AED 1,500, depending on the size of your apartment and the extent of the cleaning required. It’s worth obtaining multiple quotes from reputable companies to ensure you’re getting a fair price.

In summary, while an air purifier can provide some immediate relief, it’s crucial to address potential root causes by consulting with professionals. For a thorough inspection and cleaning, I recommend reaching out to a trusted service. You can call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com for assistance. Taking these steps will help ensure a healthier indoor environment for you and your family.
