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.

Why is my AC not cooling properly?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be running non-stop these days, but the air still feels heavy and stuffy. The kids have been complaining of a persistent cough, especially after we use the humidifier in the living room. I’ve checked online for tips on improving indoor air quality, but there are so many conflicting suggestions that I’m getting overwhelmed. Are there specific measures or products you would recommend to improve the air quality and alleviate my family’s symptoms?

Hey there! AC issues can be frustrating, especially during the scorching Dubai summer. Your concern about the air quality and your kids' coughs is quite valid. Let's dive into why your AC might not be cooling properly and how you could address it.

Firstly, there are a few common reasons for an AC unit not cooling effectively:
1. Accumulated dirt: Over time, dust can clog filters or coils which impacts the airflow and cooling efficiency.
2. Low refrigerant levels: A lack of refrigerant in your system means your AC won’t be able to cool effectively.
3. Air leaks: Gaps around doors or windows can cause hot air to enter, reducing the effectiveness of your AC.

Considering UAE-specific regulations, it's important to ensure that your AC is serviced by a certified professional who adheres to local standards like those set out in the Emirates Building Code (EBC). The EBC mandates regular maintenance checks and ensures that all HVAC systems are up to code. A simple check can include calling a reputable service provider to inspect filters, refrigerant levels, and any potential leaks.

To improve indoor air quality, you might consider these steps:
• Replace your AC filter every 30 days or as recommended by the manufacturer.
• Use a dehumidifier in conjunction with your AC if humidity is high. However, be cautious with humidifiers - they can increase mold growth if not properly maintained and controlled.
• Ensure that your AC system has adequate ventilation to prevent moisture build-up which could contribute to coughing.

For professional assistance, I recommend contacting Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com. They offer a range of services from air quality assessments to remediation solutions tailored for the UAE environment.

Lastly, keep an eye on your family’s symptoms and if they persist, it might be wise to schedule a professional indoor environmental inspection. This can help pinpoint any underlying issues that aren’t visible or easily addressed by DIY methods.

Hope this helps! Stay cool and healthy!
