How much to clean mold from AC in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

Based on the symptoms you're describing—especially the damp smell and the direct impact on your asthma—this is a serious indoor air quality issue that needs immediate professional attention. A contaminated AC unit is a major health hazard, particularly in our humid Dubai climate where mold can proliferate inside the ductwork and evaporator coils.

For a standard split-unit AC in a Jumeirah apartment, a professional hygienization and mold remediation service typically ranges from AED 500 to AED 1,500 per unit. The cost varies significantly based on the unit's size (tonnage), the extent of the contamination, and the technology used (e.g., steam cleaning, antimicrobial coating). For a full ducted system, the cost can be higher, starting from AED 2,000.

This is absolutely not a rip-off if done by a certified company. DIY cleaning only addresses superficial dust, not the deep-seated microbial growth. A proper remediation involves dismantling the unit, using EPA-approved biocides to kill the mold colonies, and applying a preventative coating. Crucially, it includes post-cleaning testing to verify spore count reduction, which is vital for an asthma sufferer.

Given your severe reaction, I strongly recommend a full indoor air quality inspection first. This will pinpoint the exact contamination source and spore types. Do not just get a basic clean; you need a certified mold remediation protocol.
