One visit covers the indoor unit, the outdoor unit and everything between them.
Capacitors, compressors, fan motors, sensors and gas leaks.
Blocked drain lines, tilted indoor units and dirty coils.
Leaks found and repaired, then R32, R410A or R22 charged to spec.
Error codes, inverter boards, sensors and communication faults.
Worn fan motors, loose brackets and outdoor fan blades.
Filter, coil and drain cleaning before summer.
In Dubai’s summer, a broken AC can’t wait until next week. When you search for split AC repair near me, we send the technician nearest to you, with the tools to test both the indoor and outdoor units and the parts that fail most often: capacitors, fan motors, drain pumps, sensors and PCBs.
We explain the fault in plain words, show you the worn part and tell you plainly whether the repair is worth it. For central and ducted systems, see our main AC repair in Dubai page.
A split AC has two halves: an indoor unit that blows the air and an outdoor unit with the compressor and condenser. Most faults start in one of them. These are the problems we fix most often in Dubai:
| Problem | Most likely cause | How we fix it |
|---|---|---|
| Blowing warm or weak air | Dirty filters or coils, low gas from a leak, failed capacitor or outdoor fan | Clean, find and repair the leak, recharge gas, replace the part |
| Water dripping from the indoor unit | Blocked drain pipe, dirty coil, tray overflowing, poor slope on the pipe | Flush the drain, clean the coil, correct the pipe |
| Outdoor unit not starting | Failed capacitor, contactor or compressor overload | Test and replace the capacitor or contactor |
| Ice on pipes or the indoor coil | Low gas, blocked filter or a slow indoor fan | Repair the leak, recharge, clean or replace the fan |
| Loud noise or rattling | Worn fan motor bearings, loose panels, debris in the outdoor fan | Replace the fan motor, secure panels, clear debris |
| Bad smell from the vents | Mould on the coil and blower wheel, stagnant drain water | Deep clean and sanitise the indoor unit |
| Error code or blinking lights | Sensor, PCB, communication or inverter board fault | Read the code, test sensors and boards, repair or replace |
A split AC has two halves, and a fault in either one can stop the cooling. We test the parts below before recommending any repair, so you only pay for what has actually failed.
| Part | Where | What goes wrong |
|---|---|---|
| Compressor | Outdoor unit | Won't start, trips the breaker, noisy or overheating |
| Condenser coil and fan | Outdoor unit | Dust and sand block airflow, fan motor or blade fails |
| Capacitor | Outdoor unit | Swells or weakens, so the fan or compressor won't start |
| Inverter board (PCB) | Outdoor unit | Error codes, compressor won't ramp up |
| Evaporator coil | Indoor unit | Dirty or iced, weak airflow and poor cooling |
| Indoor fan motor | Indoor unit | Noisy, slow or stopped blower |
| Drain pan and pipe | Indoor unit | Blocked with dust and slime, water leaking inside |
| Sensors and thermistors | Both units | Wrong readings, so the AC stops or won't cool |
| Refrigerant pipes and joints | Between the units | Leaks at flare joints and low gas |
In Dubai, the outdoor unit takes the most punishment. It sits in direct sun, often on a hot balcony or roof, and collects sand between the coil fins. That’s why capacitors and condenser fans are among the parts we replace most often in summer.
An AC doesn’t use up its gas. If it’s low, there’s a leak, and topping it up without fixing the leak only buys a few weeks. Our technicians check pressures, find the leak, repair it, vacuum the system and recharge it with the correct gas for your unit.
| Gas | Where you'll find it | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| R22 | Older split ACs | Being phased out worldwide; repairs are possible but the gas is harder to find |
| R410A | Many split ACs from the last decade or so | Common and widely available |
| R32 | Many newer inverter split ACs | Lower global-warming impact than R410A |
Send the brand, model and problem, plus a photo of any error code.

Indoor and outdoor units, drainage, electrics and gas are tested.
You approve the price, we repair and check the cooling output.

The cost of split AC repair in Dubai depends on the fault, the part and the brand. A blocked drain costs far less than a compressor. Our technician diagnoses the unit first and gives you a fixed quote before any work starts.
| Type of job | Typical cost level | Typical time on site |
|---|---|---|
| Filter and coil clean, drain flush | Lower | 45 to 90 minutes |
| Capacitor or contactor replacement | Lower to medium | 30 to 60 minutes |
| Indoor or outdoor fan motor | Medium | 1 to 2 hours |
| Leak repair and gas recharge | Medium to higher | 2 to 3 hours |
| PCB or inverter board | Higher | 1 to 2 hours, part may need ordering |
| Compressor replacement | Highest | Half a day or more |
Most split AC repairs cost a small fraction of a new unit.
Clean coils and the right gas charge cut the hours the compressor runs.
R32 is mildly flammable, so leak repair and recharge need proper tools.
Common parts travel in the van, so most jobs are finished within hours of your call.
We fix what made the part fail, so the same fault doesn't come back next month.
An itemised invoice helps with landlord claims, resale and warranty questions.
Most numbers for split AC repair near me promise the same thing. This is what to look for in any company, and what we do:
| What to look for | What we do |
|---|---|
| A clear price before work starts | Diagnosis first, then a fixed quote you approve. No surprise extras once the AC is open. |
| Leak repair before gas | An AC doesn't use up its gas. We find and fix the leak before any recharge. |
| Testing before replacing parts | We test the cheaper parts first and only recommend a board or major part when the tests point to it. |
| The right parts | Original or manufacturer-approved parts, with the part type written on the invoice. |
| Proof of the fault | We show you the old part and let you keep it. |
| A proper invoice | Company name, trade licence, model and serial number, parts fitted and warranty period. |
| Fast, local response | Technicians working across Dubai every day from our Al Karama base, with same-day visits for most bookings. |
Dust, sand and long running hours clog filters and coils fast. A few habits prevent most summer breakdowns:
Book a full service before summer and again in autumn. Our AC maintenance in Dubai visits include coil cleaning, drain flushing and a gas and electrical check.
Repair usually makes sense when the unit is under about 10 years old and the repair costs less than half the price of a comparable new one. Capacitors, fan motors, drains and sensors are almost always worth fixing. A failed compressor on an older R22 unit is often the point to replace.
If you do replace, compare star ratings. Split ACs sold in the UAE are rated under the UAE.S 5010-1 standard for household air conditioners, which tests units at hot-climate conditions. A higher star rating means lower running costs through a Dubai summer.
Our technicians repair the rest of your home too. If your fridge isn’t cooling properly, book it with your AC and we can usually fix both on one trip. See our fridge repair in Dubai service.
The same goes for a washer that won’t drain or spin, with our washing machine repair team.

It depends on the fault and the part. A drain flush or capacitor costs far less than a gas leak repair or compressor. We diagnose first and give you a fixed quote before any work starts.
The usual causes are dirty filters or coils, low gas from a leak, a failed capacitor or a stopped outdoor fan. Clean the filters first. If it still blows warm, a technician needs to test the outdoor unit.
Water dripping from the indoor unit usually means a blocked drain pipe or an overflowing tray. A dirty coil and low gas can also cause it. Switch the AC off and call us before the water damages the wall.
At least twice a year, before and after summer. Wash the filters every 2 to 4 weeks during the hottest months.
Check the label on the outdoor unit. Older units usually use R22, many units from the last decade or so use R410A, and many newer inverter models use R32.
Yes. We diagnose inverter boards, sensors and compressors on inverter split ACs from all major brands.
Usually a failed capacitor, a tripped breaker, a faulty contactor or an inverter board fault. A technician should test each of these before the compressor is replaced.
Most faults, such as capacitors, fan motors, drain blockages and sensors, are fixed on the first visit. Compressors, inverter boards and some gas leak repairs may need a part to be ordered.
Fast diagnosis, fair fixed pricing and original parts. Your home cool again, usually today.
