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 seal my ducts professionally?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a slight dampness around the base of the ducts in my kitchen. The AC in my apartment seems to run longer than usual to cool the space adequately, even when it’s not that hot outside. Given that we’ve lived here for two years and just noticed these issues, should I consider hiring professionals for duct sealing? What could be the costs involved?

Absolutely, it sounds like your situation could benefit from a professional duct sealing service. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, our climate is hot and humid which can lead to increased moisture levels around HVAC systems and ductwork. The dampness you're noticing at the base of your ducts and the fact that your AC seems to run longer than usual suggests there might be air leaks or inefficiencies.

Duct sealing is a crucial step in improving indoor environmental quality (IEQ) and energy efficiency, especially after such heavy rains. It can help reduce the amount of unconditioned air entering your system, leading to better cooling performance and comfort. In Dubai, where energy costs are a significant expense for many residents, duct sealing can also result in noticeable savings on utility bills.

Regulations in the UAE do not specifically mandate duct sealing, but it is highly recommended as part of regular maintenance, especially after extreme weather events like heavy rains. The Building Code for the UAE (UAE Standard BS 1250-1) outlines requirements for HVAC systems to ensure their efficiency and safety, and properly sealed ducts can contribute significantly towards meeting these standards.

For a professional assessment, you might want to contact companies that specialize in indoor air quality and building sciences. In Dubai, you could consider Saniservice, which has a good reputation for providing comprehensive environmental inspections and remediation services. They offer consultation on HVAC systems and can provide detailed reports on the condition of your ductwork.

The costs involved in professional duct sealing can vary depending on the extent of work required. Typically, a thorough inspection might cost around AED 200-400, while actual sealing could range from AED 500 to several thousand dollars based on the size and complexity of your system. This investment can pay off over time through improved comfort and reduced utility bills.

In conclusion, if you’re noticing issues like dampness or inefficient cooling, it’s worth having a professional come in for an assessment. Not only could this improve your living conditions but also potentially save you money on energy costs. If you decide to proceed, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation.

Remember, early intervention can prevent bigger problems down the line and ensure your home remains healthy and comfortable.
