AC and humidity problems at home in Dubai and Abu Dhabi
For apartments and villas in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Many of these can be solved without a new unit, and we will tell you if yours cannot.
AC is not cooling
It runs and the air is barely cool, or one room stays warm. Before anyone adds gas or sells a new unit, it is worth knowing what is actually wrong.
It runs and the air is barely cool
AC is leaking or noisy
A drip from the ceiling, a stain that grows, a rattle or a hum that was not there before. Water above a ceiling gets expensive quickly, so it is worth a look early.

Damp or a musty smell
The air feels heavy, clothes smell of the wardrobe, the AC gives off a musty smell and the room still feels sticky. Usually it is humidity, and it can be measured and brought down.

Black spots around the vents
Dark marks on the ceiling around a diffuser. Sometimes it is only dust, sometimes it is mould from condensation. Wiping them off is easy, and they come back until the cause is gone.

The DEWA bill went up
A bill much higher than the same month last year. Air conditioning is often the reason, though not always. We check first, and we do not promise a percentage before looking.

Leaving for the summer
A closed home with the AC off can come back to mould and a heavy smell. A closed home with the AC on full wastes money. There is a sensible way between the two.
Mould if it is off, wasted money if it is on
