What is included
AC ducting sized, fabricated and installed for villas, apartments, offices, shops and restaurants, with joints sealed, ducts insulated and airflow balanced. A ducted AC is only as good as the ductwork hidden above the ceiling. Ducts that are too small are noisy and starve the far rooms, and in Dubai humidity any gap in the insulation sweats and drips onto the ceiling below. Our own technicians work out the airflow each room needs, then fabricate, hang, seal and insulate the ducts and balance the system before handover.
- Fresh air quantity set from the number of people using the space
- Intake louvre fitted with a washable filter behind it
- Duct insulated along its full length against condensation
- Damper set and airflow measured at the connection point
How we carry out fresh air ducting
Outside air is taken in through a louvre with a filter behind it, carried in an insulated duct and delivered to the return side of the AC unit, so it is cooled and dried before it reaches the room. A volume damper sets how much comes in. In apartments and offices the connection is usually to the fresh air riser or spigot that the building already provides. We measure the flow at the connection, set the damper and record the reading in the handover report.
Dubai outside air is hot and heavy with moisture and dust for much of the year, so the quantity matters. Too much, and the AC cannot keep up, rooms feel clammy and the duct sweats. Too little, and a sealed apartment or meeting room goes stale by the middle of the afternoon. An intake with no filter loads the coil with fine sand in a season. Changes to a tower fresh air system are coordinated with building management, and the site visit confirms what the building supplies and where.
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.

Questions about fresh air ducting in The Nest, Al Barari
What does fresh air ducting include?
Fresh air ducting brings filtered outside air to the AC unit through an insulated duct, with a damper to set the quantity and a louvre that keeps rain and sand out. The work includes fresh air quantity set from the number of people using the space; intake louvre fitted with a washable filter behind it; duct insulated along its full length against condensation.
Does my apartment need fresh air ducting?
Many towers already supply treated fresh air to each apartment through a small duct near the AC unit. We check whether that duct is connected and open, since these dampers are often found shut or the duct disconnected after earlier work.
Will bringing in outside air make the AC work harder?
A little, which is why the amount is controlled by a damper and set to the people using the space. Correctly set, it keeps the air from going stale without loading the unit more than it was designed for.
How much does fresh air ducting cost in The Nest, Al Barari?
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 fresh air ducting in The Nest, Al Barari?
The MELLS provides fresh air ducting in The Nest, Al Barari, 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 fresh air ducting take?
Typically one to three days for most villas and fit out units. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.
Why are some rooms colder than others?
The far rooms are usually short of air. The ducts may be undersized, a flexible duct may be crushed, or the branches may have no dampers. We measure the airflow at each outlet, correct the duct and balance the system.
Which is better, galvanised steel or pre insulated duct?
Both work well when they are installed properly. Steel is stronger and suits long main runs, plant rooms and exposed ducts. Pre insulated panel is lighter and suits homes with shallow voids. We recommend one after seeing the site.
Does the building need to agree to duct changes?
In towers and malls, changes to the ducts, fire dampers or fresh air system are coordinated with building management. What the building asks for is identified at the site visit, and we prepare the paperwork.
How do your crews get access to The Nest, Al Barari?
There is one gated entrance and contractors are registered with security by the resident. Working hours are limited to keep the community quiet.
