AC Replacement Dubai β€”
Right Unit, Right Price.

Old unit beyond repair? We supply, remove the old unit, and install a new one β€” same day in most cases. Honest advice on whether you actually need to replace.

Honest advice first

Repair or replace β€” how we decide

We do both repairs and replacements, so we have no incentive to push one over the other. Here is the straightforward logic we use.

βœ“ Repair β€” usually the right call

Keep your unit if...

  • AC is under 5 years old
  • Repair quote is under 40% of replacement cost
  • Unit is still under manufacturer warranty
  • Problem is a single component (capacitor, drain, fan motor)
  • DEWA bill is not unusually high for the unit size
β†’ Replace β€” smarter investment

Consider replacing if...

  • AC is over 8–10 years old
  • Repair quote exceeds 50% of a new unit
  • Compressor has failed on an old unit
  • Frequent breakdowns β€” more than once per year
  • DEWA bill keeps rising despite repairs (old fixed-speed units use 30–40% more power than modern inverter)

Warning signs

Signs your AC needs replacing

Sometimes repair is just delaying the inevitable. These are the clearest signals.

πŸ“…

Over 10 years old

Dubai's climate puts 3–4x more load on AC units than temperate countries. A 10-year-old unit has effectively lived a 20-year life.

πŸ’Έ

DEWA bill keeps rising

An old fixed-speed compressor uses 30–40% more electricity than a modern inverter. The savings on DEWA often pay back replacement cost within 3–4 summers.

πŸ”§

Repeated breakdowns

If your unit has needed repair more than once in the last 12 months, parts are failing in sequence. Replacement is usually cheaper over 2 years than continued repair.

πŸ’₯

Compressor failed on old unit

Compressor replacement on a unit over 7 years old rarely makes sense β€” the cost approaches a new unit, and other components will soon follow.

FAQ

Common questions

How long does replacement take?
A standard split AC swap takes 2–4 hours including removal, installation, and testing. If the old piping and cabling are in good condition, it is usually faster. Same-day completion is normal for most Dubai apartments and villas.
Do you dispose of the old unit?
Yes. Old unit removal and disposal is included in our replacement service. We handle it responsibly β€” no abandoned units left on site.
What size AC do I need for my room?
Rough guide for Dubai: 1 ton per 10–12 sqm for a well-insulated apartment, 1 ton per 8–10 sqm for older or west-facing rooms with high sun exposure. Our technician will confirm the right capacity on-site β€” oversizing wastes electricity, undersizing means the unit never reaches set temperature.
Is inverter worth the extra cost?
In Dubai, yes β€” almost always. Inverter units use 30–40% less electricity than fixed-speed units running the same load. Given Dubai ACs run 8–12 hours daily from April to October, the DEWA saving typically covers the price difference within 2–3 summers.
Do new units come with warranty?
Yes β€” all units we supply come with the manufacturer's standard warranty (typically 1 year parts, 5 years compressor depending on brand). Our installation labour is also warranted for 30 days.
