What is included
Supply and installation of split, ducted, cassette and multi split air conditioning for Dubai homes, offices and shops, sized to the room and tested at handover. Most cooling complaints in Dubai 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.
- Opening measured against the casing of the chosen unit
- Support frame or brackets fixed to carry the full weight
- Unit set with a slight tilt to the outside for drainage
- Gaps closed with foam and sealant against sand and hot air
How we carry out window AC installation
Window units are still found in older villas, staff rooms, guard rooms and site cabins in Dubai. The old unit is pulled out and the opening measured, because sizes differ between makers. A steel support or a timber frame carries the weight, not the plaster edge. The new unit slides in with a small fall to the outside so condensate runs off the back and away from the wall. The gap around the casing is packed with foam and sealed, and the unit is run to check the compressor, the fan speeds and the thermostat.
Set level or tilted inward, a window unit drips down the inside wall and rots the plaster below it. Gaps left around the casing let in sand, hot air and insects, and the unit then cools the street as much as the room. These units draw a heavy current on starting, so a worn socket or a thin extension lead overheats. The site visit checks the opening, the socket and the breaker, and whether a split unit would serve the room better with less noise.
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.
Window AC Installation in Al Quoz: what we plan for
Al Quoz lies between Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road and has two characters. Al Quoz 1 to 4 are residential, with private villas, older houses and some low rise apartment buildings. The four Industrial Areas hold warehouses, workshops, showrooms, factories and staff accommodation. Within them, Alserkal Avenue and the Creative Zone have turned warehouses into galleries, studios, cafes and offices. Al Khail Gate and Al Khail Heights are large apartment communities on the Al Khail Road side.
Industrial dust is the constant here. Cement, stone cutting, vehicle workshops and heavy lorries on open yards put a coarse grey dust in the air, and it settles on roofs, shutters, skylights and AC units. Homes near Sheikh Zayed Road or Al Khail Road get an oily traffic film on top of it. Rooftop package units and split condensers choke on coarse dust. Condenser coils are washed, filters changed or cleaned, belts and drains checked, and roof outlets cleared of the grit that washes into them.
Villas and most warehouses are on open streets with direct loading. The apartment communities run a permit and lift booking system, which The MELLS deals with. Galleries, managed warehouse compounds and working factories have their own site rules, confirmed at the site visit.

Questions about window AC installation in Al Quoz
What does window AC installation include?
One piece window units slide into a wall opening on a steel support, tilted slightly outward so the condensate runs outside, and are then sealed round and tested. The work includes opening measured against the casing of the chosen unit; support frame or brackets fixed to carry the full weight; unit set with a slight tilt to the outside for drainage.
Can a window unit be replaced with a split unit?
Yes, and it is a common change. The split needs a wall for the indoor unit, a place outside for the condenser and a power supply to suit. The old opening is then blocked up, plastered and painted. We look at each of those points at the site visit.
Why does my window AC drip water inside?
Usually because the unit sits level or leans into the room, so the condensate cannot run to the back. A blocked drain hole in the base pan does the same. Resetting the tilt and clearing the pan normally cures it.
How much does window AC installation cost in Al Quoz?
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 window AC installation in Al Quoz?
The MELLS provides window AC installation in Al Quoz, Dubai. The work is carried out by people The MELLS employs directly, under a named supervisor, 08:00 to 19:00, Monday to Saturday. To arrange it, book a site visit on this page or call +971 55 444 0084.
How long does window AC installation take?
Typically half a day for one split unit, longer for ducted systems. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.
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.
Do you install air conditioners in Al Quoz?
Yes. Our own technicians install split, ducted, cassette and multi split systems across Dubai. A site visit comes first, to check the room, the power supply and where the outdoor unit can go, and the scope is then put in writing.
How do your crews get access to Al Quoz?
Villas and most warehouses are on open streets with direct loading. The apartment communities run a permit and lift booking system, which The MELLS deals with. Galleries, managed warehouse compounds and working factories have their own site rules, confirmed at the site visit.
Do you cover Al Khail Gate and Al Khail Heights?
Yes. Both are apartment communities with their own management. A compact team is sent, and the permit and the lift slot are requested before the visit.
How do I choose a company for window AC installation in Al Quoz?
