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 is responsible for duct sealing issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy storms we had last month, I noticed a persistent cold spot right below the air vent in my bedroom. The AC technician said it might be due to poor duct sealing, but I’m unsure if that’s something I should address or if it falls under my landlord’s responsibilities since it’s a rental. Should I ask them to take care of it, or is this something I can handle myself?

Duct sealing issues can indeed be tricky, especially given the recent storms we experienced here in Dubai. Based on local regulations and common practices, duct sealing is generally part of a property’s maintenance responsibility. Since you're renting your space, it would be wise to discuss this issue with your landlord first. However, if they're hesitant or unresponsive, you might consider taking matters into your own hands—after all, addressing the problem could improve both your comfort and energy efficiency.

In the UAE, specifically in Dubai, there are certain guidelines around HVAC maintenance. While these aren’t as detailed as some other regions, it's generally understood that landlords are responsible for ensuring a building’s systems function properly. If you notice persistent issues like the cold spot below your bedroom vent, it might be prudent to request an inspection by a professional.

A professional assessment can help determine if the issue is indeed due to poor duct sealing or something else entirely. Many companies offer such services and may also provide advice on repairs. For instance, Saniservice (you can contact them at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) conducts thorough inspections and can recommend appropriate solutions.

If the issue is confirmed as a result of poor duct sealing, you might be able to negotiate with your landlord for a repair. If not, then you could look into doing it yourself—though this requires some know-how and care, especially considering the specific climate conditions in Dubai which can stress HVAC systems.

Remember, addressing such issues promptly can save money on utility bills and improve overall indoor air quality. So, while it might be tempting to just let it go, taking a proactive approach could be beneficial for both you and your landlord.

Keep an eye out for other signs of poor ductwork like noisy fans or inconsistent temperature distribution. These could also indicate that it's time to have the system inspected.
