What is included
Coil, drain pan and full duct decontamination, with particulate readings taken before and after. The AC runs most of the year in Dubai, and everything in the ducts ends up in the air you breathe. We clean the whole air path, from return grille to supply diffuser, and measure the difference.
- Fan coil unit opened at the ceiling access panel in each room
- Filter, coil and blower washed, drain tray and line flushed
- Supply and return ducts brushed and extracted through a HEPA collector
- Chilled water valve and actuator looked at, building side left alone
How we carry out central AC cleaning
In most towers the cooling arrives as chilled water from a plant the building runs. Inside the apartment, each room or zone has a fan coil unit above the false ceiling that blows air across a cold coil and down short ducts to the diffusers. We open each unit at its access panel, wash the filter, clean the coil with coil cleaner and a low pressure rinse, clean the blower wheel and flush the drain line. The ducts are then worked with a rotary brush while a HEPA filtered collector pulls the dust out.
The dividing line is the valve. Everything on the building side of it, the risers, the chilled water supply and the plant, is for building management, and a unit that blows air but never gets cold is often theirs to fix. What we find on the apartment side is usually a matted filter, a coil grey with dust and a drain tray growing slime. The site visit checks how many units there are, where the access panels sit, and what the building wants from a contractor before work starts.
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 central AC cleaning
What does central AC cleaning include?
Central AC cleaning in a Dubai tower means the fan coil units inside the apartment and the ducts and grilles they feed, since the chilled water plant belongs to the building. The work includes fan coil unit opened at the ceiling access panel in each room; filter, coil and blower washed, drain tray and line flushed; supply and return ducts brushed and extracted through a HEPA collector.
Who is responsible for central AC in an apartment, me or the building?
In most towers the fan coil units, ducts, grilles and thermostats inside the apartment fall to the owner or tenant, and the chilled water supply up to the valve falls to building management. Your contract and the building rules settle the detail, and we point out which side a fault sits on.
Do you need a permit from building management to clean central AC?
Many towers ask for a work permit and a time slot for any contractor. That is identified at the site visit, and The MELLS prepares the paperwork the building asks for, so access is arranged before the crew arrives.
How much does central AC cleaning 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 central AC cleaning in Dubai?
The MELLS provides central AC cleaning 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 58 656 3001.
How long does central AC cleaning take?
Typically one day for most apartments and one to two days for villas. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.
Is the home usable during the work?
Yes. We work one AC zone at a time and protect furniture below each grille.
How often should AC ducts be cleaned in Dubai?
Every 12 to 18 months for occupied homes, and yearly with pets, smokers or nearby construction.
How do I know it worked?
We take a particulate reading at the supply air before and after. The job passes at an 80 percent or greater reduction.
How do I choose a company for central AC cleaning 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.
How do I prepare for central AC cleaning?
Clear access to the units, panels or areas to be worked on and note any faults you have noticed. The supervisor confirms anything else at the site visit.
Do I need to provide any products or equipment?
No. Products, tools and machines come with the crew. Any materials the job needs, such as paint or parts, are listed in the written quotation.
What if I am not happy with the result?
Tell the supervisor at handover or call us. Anything that fails our check is put right free of charge within 48 hours.
