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.
What your quotation depends on
A quotation for window AC installation follows a site visit. The supervisor looks at the points listed here and you receive a written quotation with a defined scope before any work begins. Once you accept it, nothing is added on the day.
- Size and type of the system or surface
- Present condition and ease of access
- Parts and materials specified
- One visit or a retained contract

Questions about window AC installation
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 Dubai?
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 Dubai?
The MELLS provides window AC installation in 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.
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.
Do you install air conditioners in Dubai?
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.
Can you install a unit I have already bought?
Yes. We fit units supplied by us or by you. If the one you have bought is the wrong size for the room we tell you before it goes on the wall. An oversized unit cools fast but leaves the air damp, and an undersized one runs all day without reaching the set temperature.
How do I choose a company for window AC installation in Dubai?
Ask four things: who employs the people who will come, whether the scope is written down before work starts, how the result is checked, and what happens if something is missed. The MELLS uses its own staff, quotes in writing after a site visit, checks every job (a measured test for every job, with photographs before and after) and puts right any failed check free of charge within 48 hours.
