About this service
What ac installation and replacement involves
The most common installation fault in Dubai is a unit that is the wrong size, and it is almost always too big.
An oversized unit cools the room quickly, hits the thermostat, and switches off before it has removed any meaningful humidity. The room reads the right temperature and feels clammy, the compressor short cycles, and the unit wears out years early. Undersized runs continuously and never quite gets there.
Getting it right means a heat load calculation: glazing area and orientation, insulation, ceiling height, occupancy, and what the room is actually used for. That takes a survey, not a look at the sticker on the old unit.
The rest of the job is the part nobody sees. Condensate drainage that actually falls away, refrigerant pipe runs properly insulated so they do not sweat inside a ceiling void, electrical supply rated for the unit, and duct connections sealed. Most call-backs on new installations trace to one of those four.
Serviced so it lasts the summer
Most AC failures in August were visible in April. A proper service finds them while they are still cheap and while a part is still available.

Before anything is quoted
We look at the property before we put a number on it
A price list cannot see your marble, your ducts, or the wall the afternoon sun hits. So we come and look. A senior member of the team surveys the property, and you receive a written quotation the same day, itemised, with what is included and what is not.
No obligation. If we are not the right company for the job we will say so, and tell you who is.
- 01The survey
We look at the property, not a price list. Usually the same day you ask.
- 02The written quote
Fixed, itemised, and sent the same day. What is included, and what is not.
- 03The work
A named supervisor and a crew you will see again. Our own equipment and materials.
- 04The walkthrough
We walk the property with you before the team leaves. Anything not right is dealt with then.
Frequently asked questions
How much does AC installation and replacement cost in Dubai?
There is no fixed rate card. Price follows the size and condition of the property, so a senior member of the team surveys it first and you get a written, itemised quotation the same day. The figure on that quotation is the figure you pay.
Who does AC installation and replacement near me in Dubai?
MELLS covers ninety communities across Dubai and works in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah for commercial premises. Message +971 58 656 3001 on WhatsApp with your community and we will confirm availability.
What is the best AC installation and replacement company in Dubai?
Judge any company on three things: whether the team is directly employed or subcontracted, whether the quote is fixed in writing before work starts, and whether a supervisor walks the property with you at the end. MELLS does all three as standard.
How quickly can you start AC installation and replacement?
Survey usually the same day you ask, quotation the same day, and work scheduled within forty eight hours in most cases. Urgent call outs are handled the same day where the team is free.
Is AC installation and replacement safe for children and pets?
Yes. Products are selected for occupied family homes as the default, re entry times are told to you before we leave, and anything stronger is only ever used with your agreement.
How do I get a quote from MELLS?
Message us on WhatsApp on +971 58 656 3001 or call the same number. A senior member of the team surveys the property and you receive a written itemised quotation the same day.
Which areas of the UAE does MELLS cover?
Ninety communities across Dubai for residential work, and Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah for commercial premises.
Should I repair or replace?
Depends on age, refrigerant type and what has failed. A compressor on a twelve year old unit is usually not worth it. A control board on a five year old unit usually is. We tell you which before quoting.
Why does unit sizing matter so much here?
Because humidity, not just temperature, is what makes a Dubai room uncomfortable. An oversized unit cools fast, cuts out early, and never dehumidifies properly.
Do you handle the electrical side?
Yes, by licensed electricians under our own trade licence. It is not passed to a third party.
How long does a replacement take?
A straight split unit swap is usually a day. Ducted and cassette systems depend on access and the state of the existing ductwork.
Do you clean the ducts at the same time?
We recommend it. A new unit pushing air through a duct run loaded with years of dust undoes most of what you have just paid for.

The team arrives fully equipped
Everything needed comes with them. There is nothing for you to buy, prepare or supply.
