AC Repair & Maintenance in Dubai City, Dubai

44 businesses listed, 0 Verified or Trusted. Sponsored results are labelled; positions 4+ are ranked by rating, response rate and completed jobs, reshuffled weekly.

An AC in the UAE runs six or seven months a year at close to full load, so a unit that is serviced properly lasts years longer than one that is rinsed once a season.

What a proper service includes

A proper service takes 45 to 90 minutes and includes:

  1. Washing the indoor and outdoor coils
  2. Flushing the drain
  3. Measuring the temperature drop, which should be roughly 8 to 12 degrees Celsius in summer

A technician who is happy to show you those readings is probably doing the work. Check the unit's label for the refrigerant type before anyone adds gas, and keep the invoice with the company's name and licence number for any warranty claim.

What it costs in 2026

  • Full service: AED 150 to 350 per split unit
  • Basic filter clean: AED 80 to 160
  • Multi-unit discount: 15 to 25 percent off per unit for three or more units
  • Gas top-up: AED 150 to 300

These are typical Dubai prices; in the other emirates prices are often similar or somewhat lower.

Before you book

Book the yearly deep clean before May, and rinse the filters monthly in summer yourself. In a rented flat, read the maintenance clause in the registered tenancy contract (Ejari in Dubai) before you book, so that you do not pay for something your landlord owes you.

Check the badge first, then read the reviews and the response rate. Ask for a written quote that names the company on the licence, and pay only to an account in that company's name. See typical prices in our price guide.

Frequently asked questions

What licence should an AC company have?

A valid trade licence (DET in Dubai, ADDED in Abu Dhabi, SEDD in Sharjah) with an air conditioning installation or maintenance activity. Large towers may also require a contractor approved by the building management. Ask for the licence number and check it on the issuing register before the visit, and keep the invoice with that number on it.

How much does AC servicing cost in the UAE?

A full service with coil wash and drain flush typically costs AED 150 to 350 per split unit, a gas top-up AED 150 to 300 and a compressor replacement AED 700 to 2,000. Get a written quote that lists parts and labour separately. These are typical Dubai prices; in the other emirates prices are often similar or somewhat lower.

What are the red flags with AC technicians?

Be cautious of a gas refill without a leak test, a price given only after the unit is dismantled, a visit under 20 minutes billed as a deep clean, or a request for full payment in advance. Pay after the unit runs and the cooling reading is shown.

Who pays for AC repairs in a rented flat?

The registered tenancy contract (Ejari in Dubai) decides. Many UAE contracts make routine servicing the tenant's job and major parts such as the compressor the landlord's. In buildings on district cooling, such as Empower in Dubai, the tenant does not service a chiller, though the in-unit fan coil still needs its filter and drain cleaned.
