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.

Who cleans AC coils in a rental property?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense summer heat hit this week, I noticed a strange odor coming from the vent above my bedroom. My landlord mentioned that coil cleaning is required but wasn’t sure about who should do it in a rental property. Could someone clarify whose responsibility it is to clean the AC coils and how often it should be done?

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, keeping the air conditioning (AC) units clean is crucial for maintaining indoor environmental quality and energy efficiency. The responsibility of cleaning AC coils in a rental property can be a bit ambiguous but generally falls on the landlord as part of their maintenance obligations under local laws.

The UAE does not have specific regulations mandating who should clean AC coils; however, the tenant has the right to request that these services are provided. In Dubai, it is customary for landlords or property managers to handle such tasks, especially in rental agreements where maintenance responsibilities are outlined. However, if your contract is silent on this matter, you could bring it up with your landlord and discuss who will cover the cost of cleaning.

AC coils should be cleaned at least once a year by professionals. This frequency can increase depending on usage patterns and environmental conditions, such as frequent use during summer months or if the unit is located in an area prone to dust accumulation. A yearly clean not only ensures better air quality but also helps prevent the growth of mold and bacteria that could cause unpleasant odors like the one you're experiencing.

When dealing with coil cleaning, it's important to hire a professional service due to the technical nature of the task. Professionals have the necessary tools and knowledge to safely clean the coils without causing damage to the AC system. A reputable company in Dubai might be able to diagnose other potential issues that could cause odors or inefficiencies.

If you suspect your unit is producing an odor, it's wise to get a thorough inspection done by a professional. The smell could indicate a more serious problem such as a mold infestation which can pose health risks and needs immediate attention. At Saniservice, we offer comprehensive indoor environmental assessments and remediation services. Our team uses advanced techniques to identify the source of odors and provide solutions to ensure your home or office remains safe and healthy.
