AC Maintenance and Repair in Dubai

Twice a year is the usual answer for an apartment, with the main service going in before summer rather than during it. A villa with more units, or a home with pets, dust or a lot of construction nearby, is better on a quarterly cycle. The point of the timing is that almost everything that fails in July is visible in April.

A service is the unit itself: filters, coils, drain, gas and electrics. Duct cleaning is the network that carries the air around your home, and it is a separate job. Ducts do not need doing every time — we will tell you when yours actually need it rather than selling it as routine.

Yes, when the pressure is low. It is worth knowing that a sealed system should not lose gas, so if yours needs topping up more than occasionally there is a leak, and topping it up again is treating the symptom. We will say so and quote for finding the leak instead.

Nine times out of ten it is a blocked condensate drain. The water the unit pulls out of the air has nowhere to go, so it backs up and comes out of the housing. It is usually a quick fix, but it is worth doing promptly — the next thing it damages is the ceiling below.

Yes. Most Dubai towers run fan coil units fed by the building chilled water system rather than a condenser on a balcony. The service is different — filters, coil, drain pan, valve and thermostat — and the building usually has access rules we work around.

A single split unit is typically under an hour. A villa with several units, or a system that needs the drain clearing and the coils properly cleaned, takes longer. We would rather tell you it needs a second visit than rush the first one.
