What is included
Supply and installation of split, ducted, cassette and multi split air conditioning for Abu Dhabi homes, offices and shops, sized to the room and tested at handover. Most cooling complaints in Abu Dhabi trace back to the day the unit was fitted: a pipe run too long or kinked, lines never vacuumed, a drain with no fall. Our own technicians check the room load and the power supply first, fit the unit to the manufacturer's instructions and record the temperatures on a test run. We fit a unit we supply or one you bought, and say so plainly if it is the wrong size for the room.
- Pipe sizes, lengths and branch positions drawn before work starts
- Joints brazed with nitrogen flowing through the pipe
- Nitrogen pressure test held before the vacuum is pulled
- Extra refrigerant weighed in to suit the measured pipe length
How we carry out multi split and VRF installation
A multi split feeds a handful of indoor units from one condenser on separate pairs of pipes. A VRF system serves many more from a shared main with branch joints. In both, the pipe layout is designed first: sizes, lengths, height differences and where each branch sits. Joints are brazed with dry nitrogen flowing through so no scale forms inside. The network is pressure tested, left to stand, then vacuumed. Extra refrigerant is weighed in for the pipe length, and each indoor unit is tested from its controller.
These systems punish shortcuts. A branch joint fitted at the wrong angle starves one room of refrigerant, and scale from brazing without nitrogen blocks the fine expansion valves months later. The attraction in Abu Dhabi villas and offices is one outdoor unit where there is little wall or roof space for many. The site visit checks the total pipe length against the maker's limits, the power supply, which is often three phase, and where the outdoor unit can stand with clear airflow.
How it works
The same method on every job, so the result does not depend on who is on shift.
- Survey and diagnosis. A technician inspects the system or surface, takes readings and photographs, and explains what was found in plain language.
- Written quotation. You receive a written quotation against a defined scope before any work starts. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately.
- Protected, supervised work. The work area is protected and isolated, and the job is carried out by our own technicians under a named supervisor.
- Testing. Every job ends with a measured test suited to the discipline, so the result is a reading and a photograph and not an opinion.
- Report and warranty. The completed report reaches you within the hour. Any failed point is put right free of charge within 48 hours.
Multi Split and VRF Installation in Al Bateen: what we plan for
Al Bateen runs along the western shore of Abu Dhabi island, south of the Corniche, and is one of the city's oldest prime addresses. Large private villas fill the inland streets. The waterfront holds Al Bateen Park with its villas, townhouses and low rise Plaza apartments, the Marasy and Bloom Marina buildings around the marina, hotel residences, and the separate villa island of Nareel.
Sea air comes off the marina and the open water to the west, so glass, railings and outdoor AC units collect a salt film within days. Mature gardens drop leaves and pollen into pools and gutters, and irrigation on the older plots leaves white mineral rings on boundary walls and paving. Older villas often run split units and package units of different ages, plus booster pumps and pool plant. Each item is listed on the first visit, then condensers, drain lines and pumps are serviced to one schedule.
Al Bateen Park, Nareel Island and the marina buildings have gate security, so the resident registers our team in advance. Apartments need a work permit and a service lift booking. Exterior work may need master community approval, identified at the site visit; we prepare the paperwork.

Questions about multi split and VRF installation in Al Bateen
What does multi split and VRF installation include?
Several indoor units are served by a single outdoor unit through branched copper pipework, each room on its own control, with pipe sizes and lengths set out before work starts. The work includes pipe sizes, lengths and branch positions drawn before work starts; joints brazed with nitrogen flowing through the pipe; nitrogen pressure test held before the vacuum is pulled.
What is the difference between multi split and VRF?
A multi split runs a separate pair of pipes from the outdoor unit to each indoor unit and suits a few rooms. VRF shares one set of main pipes with branches, serves many indoor units over longer distances and varies the refrigerant flow to match the load in each room.
Can each room be set to its own temperature?
Yes. Every indoor unit has its own controller and can be switched off while the others run. On most systems all rooms must be in the same mode, cooling or heating, which is rarely a limit in Abu Dhabi.
How much does multi split and VRF installation cost in Al Bateen?
We do not publish prices, because no two jobs are the same. The main factors: size and type of the system or surface; present condition and ease of access. Book a site visit: a supervisor from The MELLS looks at the work and you receive a written quotation with a defined scope before anything begins.
Who provides multi split and VRF installation in Al Bateen?

How long does multi split and VRF installation take?
Typically half a day for one split unit, longer for ducted systems. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.
What size of air conditioner does my room need?
Capacity follows the heat the room gains, not only its floor area. Glazing that faces the afternoon sun, ceiling height, a roof directly above, the number of people and any kitchen or equipment all add load. We measure and work it out at the site visit.
Can a split unit be fitted in any apartment?
No. The building decides where an outdoor unit may stand, and towers on chilled water do not take split units at all. We check the system and the building rules at the site visit and prepare the paperwork that management asks for.
Why do the lines have to be vacuumed?
Air and moisture left in the copper pipes mix with the refrigerant and the oil, which lowers cooling and wears the compressor early. A vacuum pump draws both out, and the gauge has to hold steady before the refrigerant is released into the lines.
How do your crews get access to Al Bateen?
Al Bateen Park, Nareel Island and the marina buildings have gate security, so the resident registers our team in advance. Apartments need a work permit and a service lift booking. Exterior work may need master community approval, identified at the site visit; we prepare the paperwork.
