Our AC Services in Dubai
One team for every AC job, from a quick repair to a full replacement.
AC Repair
We repair split, window, ducted, floor-standing and portable air conditioners. Our technicians diagnose the exact fault, explain it in plain words and fix it properly, whether it’s the compressor, fan motor, capacitor, thermostat, PCB or a leaking pipe. You approve the price first.
Fixes: not cooling, noise, leaks, tripping
AC Gas Refilling & Leak Fixing
Low gas gives warm air, slow cooling and ice on the pipes. Because gas sits in a sealed system, low gas almost always means a leak. We check pressure, find and repair the leak, refill with the correct refrigerant for your unit, then re-check pressure, so you get lasting cooling, not a few weeks of relief.
Fixes: warm air, ice, hissing sound
AC Coil Cleaning
Dubai’s dust and sand build up on the evaporator and condenser coils, so your AC works harder for less cooling. We deep clean both coils, remove dust and sticky residue, test drainage and check airflow afterwards.
Fixes: high bills, weak cooling, ice
AC Duct Cleaning
Ducts collect dust, mould and allergens over time. If you notice dusty vents, musty smells or worsening allergies, we clean and sanitise the ducts so the air you breathe is cleaner, not just colder. Duct cleaning is quoted separately, never bundled into a routine service.
Fixes: dusty vents, smells, allergies
AC Filter Cleaning & Maintenance
A clogged filter is the cheapest AC problem to prevent. Our maintenance service covers filter cleaning, coil and drain checks, gas pressure, electrical connections and a performance test, ideally every 3 to 6 months in Dubai. Choose a one-off service or an annual maintenance contract.
Prevents: summer breakdowns
AC Installation
We install split, window, floor-standing, portable and ducted units for homes, offices and shops. We inspect the space, choose the best position, mount securely, complete electrical and piping connections and test performance before we leave. For high-rise rooftop units we also arrange access and equipment such as a crane.
For: new homes, offices and shops
AC Replacement
If your AC keeps breaking down or costs more to repair than it’s worth, replacement can save money. We help you choose a reliable brand and size, remove the old unit and fit the new one with quality parts and proper mounting and insulation to keep noise down.
For: old or repeatedly failing units
Repair or Replace? How to Decide
Repair usually makes sense if your AC is under 10 years old and the problem is a single faulty part, a gas leak or a dirty system.
Think about replacement if:
- Your AC is around 12 years old or more
- It needs repairs again and again
- Your electricity bill keeps rising for no reason
- Rooms never get properly cool, or humidity has increased
- The repair quote is close to the price of a new unit
Our technician inspects your unit and gives an honest recommendation: no upselling, just the right solution.

Call for EnquiryAC Repair & Maintenance FAQs
Quick answers to the problems Dubai residents ask us about most.
AC not cooling or acting up?
My AC is on but not cooling. What should I do?
Switch it off for a few minutes and check that the filter isn’t clogged. If it still blows warm air, the cause is usually dirty coils, low refrigerant gas or a weak compressor. Message us and a technician will test pressure and airflow and fix the exact fault, often the same day.
Why is my AC leaking water?
Most often a blocked drain pipe or dirty coils. Turn the AC off to avoid damage to your ceiling or floor, then call us. We clear the drain, clean the coils and test drainage so the leak doesn’t return.
Why is there ice on my AC pipes or coil?
Ice usually means low gas or poor airflow from a dirty filter or coil. Switch the AC off and let it defrost, then book a check. Running it frozen can damage the compressor. We find the cause, clean or refill as needed and test cooling.
Why is my AC making a loud or strange noise?
Rattling often means loose parts, grinding points to the fan motor, and hissing can mean a gas leak. Don’t ignore it, as small noises turn into expensive repairs. We inspect the unit and repair or replace the faulty part.
Why does my AC smell bad?
A musty smell usually comes from mould or dirt on the filter, coils or ducts. We deep clean and sanitise the affected parts so the air smells fresh again.
Why is my electricity bill so high?
Dirty coils and filters, low gas or a failing part force your AC to run longer for less cooling. A full AC check-up and service restores efficiency, and your bill usually comes down.
My AC won’t turn on or keeps tripping. What now?
Check that the thermostat has power and batteries, but don’t keep resetting the breaker. It can point to an electrical fault or a failing capacitor. We diagnose and repair the electrical issue safely.
AC gas questions
How do I know if my AC needs a gas refill?
Warm air, slow cooling, ice on the copper pipe, a hissing sound near the outdoor unit or a higher bill are common signs. Get it checked early, because running on low gas can damage the compressor.
Does AC gas run out on its own?
No. Gas is in a sealed system, so low gas means a leak. If you keep paying for refills, ask for leak repair. We find and fix the leak first, then refill.
Can I refill AC gas myself?
No. Refrigerant handling needs proper tools and training, and mistakes can damage the compressor or cause safety risks. Always use a trained technician.
What type of gas is used in AC?
Most modern ACs use R410A or newer R32, while older units may still use R22, which is being phased out. We confirm the right type for your unit before we start, so there’s no compatibility issue.
How much gas does a 1.5 ton AC need?
It depends on the brand, model and pipe length, so there’s no single number. Our technician measures and fills the correct amount for your unit instead of guessing.
How does AC gas work?
The refrigerant flows in a closed loop between the indoor and outdoor units. The compressor pressurises it, the coils absorb heat indoors and release it outside, and this cycle keeps your room cool.
Cleaning: coils, ducts and filters
How often should AC coils be cleaned?
Coils should be cleaned as part of regular servicing, and sooner if you notice weak cooling, ice or higher bills. Clean coils mean faster cooling and lower running costs.
When do AC ducts need cleaning?
When you see dusty vents, musty smells, worsening allergies or uneven cooling. Our duct cleaning removes dust and mould and sanitises the ducts for cleaner indoor air.
Is duct cleaning included in a regular AC service?
No. Ducts need cleaning less often than the unit itself, so we quote duct cleaning separately instead of bundling it and overcharging you.
Can I clean the AC filter myself?
For washable filters, yes: switch off, rinse gently, dry fully and refit. Coils and ducts are different, they need a professional. If cooling is still weak after a clean filter, call us.
Maintenance and AMC
How often should I service my AC in Dubai?
Every 3 to 6 months. Dubai’s heat and dust put constant pressure on air conditioners, and regular servicing prevents breakdowns in peak summer.
What does an AC maintenance service include?
Filter cleaning, coil and drain checks, gas pressure check, electrical connection checks and a performance test. It also tells you early whether anything needs repair.
What is included in an Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC)?
Our AMC covers scheduled AC servicing, priority emergency call-outs, plumbing and electrical checks and discounted repair rates for one fixed price. It’s a simple way to avoid surprise summer breakdowns.
Installation and replacement
How long does an AC last, and should I repair or replace it?
With regular maintenance, an AC typically lasts 10 to 15 years in Dubai, and some well-kept central systems last longer. Repair if the unit is younger and the fault is a single part, gas leak or dirt. Consider replacement if it’s around 12 years old, breaks down repeatedly or the repair costs nearly as much as a new unit. We give an honest recommendation with no upselling.
Do you install all types of AC?
Yes. We install split, window, floor-standing, portable and ducted units for homes, offices and shops across Dubai, and test performance before we leave.
Can you install an AC in a high-rise building?
Yes. We handle the full job, including access arrangements and equipment such as a crane for rooftop units where needed, so you don’t have to organise anything.
Cost and booking
How much does AC repair cost in Dubai?
It depends on the AC type, the fault and the parts. A routine service costs far less than a compressor job. You always get a clear price before work starts, and a photo or video on WhatsApp helps us estimate faster.
Will the price change after the technician arrives?
No surprises. You get a clear quote before any work begins, with no hidden charges or add-ons when the bill arrives.
How fast can you reach me in an emergency?
We offer same-day and 24/7 emergency response in most areas of Dubai. Message us on WhatsApp or call and we’ll dispatch a technician.
Can I get an estimate without a visit?
Often yes. Send a photo or short video of the problem on WhatsApp and we’ll give you an estimate, then confirm the final price after inspection before any work starts.
Don’t Wait for the Summer Breakdown
A small AC problem now is much cheaper than a full breakdown in July. Message Adnanfixit on WhatsApp or call us, and get a clear quote and a technician who arrives on time.
