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.

  • Electrical, gas and drainage checked together
  • Faults photographed and shown to you

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.

About this service

What is smart thermostat installation and what does it include?

A thermostat that cools an empty bedroom all afternoon costs the same as one that cools an occupied one.

In most Dubai villas the AC runs to a single setting, all day, in every zone, whether anyone is in the room or not. Guest rooms, formal sitting rooms, upstairs bedrooms during the day, all of them held at the same temperature as the space the family is actually in. Over a summer that is a substantial number, and none of it shows up as a fault because nothing is broken. The system is doing exactly what it was told at handover and never asked about since.

A smart thermostat only helps if it is wired correctly and set up around your household rather than left on a factory schedule. We check the existing wiring first, because a lot of villas here have no common wire at the thermostat and the unit needs one, and we look at how the zoning is actually arranged rather than assuming it matches the floor plan. Then we install, commission, and sit with you to build schedules per zone that follow when rooms are genuinely occupied. Geofencing and away modes get set up properly, not just switched on.

Signs you need this service

AC bills that climb steeply through summer with no change in use
Rooms cooled all day whether occupied or not
A basic dial or non programmable thermostat still fitted
No way to control the AC when away from the property
Different zones that cannot be set independently
A smart thermostat already fitted but never configured
The property is empty for long periods
Uneven temperatures between floors

What is included

  • Existing wiring and common wire check before anything is ordered
  • Zone and system compatibility assessment
  • Nest, Tado, Ecobee and equivalent units supplied and installed
  • Wiring, mounting and safe removal of the old unit
  • Commissioning and app setup on your devices
  • Per zone schedules built around actual occupancy
  • Geofencing and away mode configuration
  • Integration with existing home automation where present
  • Handover session with the household
Good to know. Many Dubai villas have no common wire at the thermostat position. We check that at survey, because it decides which units are even an option.

Benefits of doing it properly

  • Cooling follows occupancy instead of running flat out
  • Schedules built around your household, not a default
  • Wiring verified before a unit is bought
  • Zones set up independently where the system allows
  • Control from anywhere, useful if the villa sits empty
  • Away mode configured properly rather than merely enabled
  • Works alongside existing automation if you have it
  • Honest advice where the existing system will not benefit

Frequently asked questions

How much does smart thermostat installation 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 smart thermostat installation 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 smart thermostat installation 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 smart thermostat installation?

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 smart thermostat installation 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.

Will a smart thermostat actually reduce my bill?

It reduces cooling of rooms nobody is in, which in a large villa is where most of the waste sits. It will not fix a system that is undercharged or a coil that needs cleaning, and we will tell you if that is what we find.

What is a common wire and why does it matter?

It gives the thermostat continuous power. Plenty of Dubai villas do not have one at the thermostat position, and without it many units either will not work or need an adapter. We check before recommending anything.

Which brand is best?

It depends on your system and your zoning, not on which brand markets hardest. We do not have one we push, and we will say which suits your setup.

Can it control each room separately?

Only if the system is genuinely zoned. If every room runs off one zone, a thermostat cannot invent separate control. We tell you at survey which situation you are in.

Will it work with my existing home automation?

Usually. We check compatibility at survey and integrate it rather than leaving you with yet another separate app.
