What is included
Supply and installation of split, ducted, cassette and multi split air conditioning for Abu Dhabi homes, offices and shops, sized to the room and tested at handover. Most cooling complaints in Abu Dhabi 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.
- Building system identified: chilled water fan coil or split
- Management rules on outdoor units and work permits obtained
- Floors, lift and corridors protected on the way in
- Drain discharge kept off the balcony and facade below
How we carry out apartment AC installation
The first question in any Abu Dhabi apartment is what the tower runs on. Chilled water buildings cool each flat through fan coil units fed from a central plant, and a split unit cannot be added. There we replace or add fan coils, valves and thermostats on the existing pipework. Buildings with split systems have set positions for outdoor units, often a balcony shelf or a plant ledge. We fit to those positions, keep the pipe run within the maker's limits, protect the common areas and book the service lift.
Apartment work goes wrong on rules more often than on tools. A condenser fixed where the building does not allow it will have to come down, and a drain dripping onto the neighbour below brings a complaint within days. Closing a chilled water riser valve needs the building engineer. Most towers ask for a work permit, the names of the technicians and set working times. All of this is identified at the site visit, and The MELLS prepares the paperwork management asks for before a date is fixed.
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.

Apartment AC Installation in Marina & Breakwater: what we plan for
The Marina sits on the Breakwater, the reclaimed land at the western end of the Corniche beside Marina Mall. Housing here is a small group of waterfront communities: the Fairmont Marina Residences apartments, the Marina Sunset Bay villas and apartment buildings next to the mall, and the gated Royal Marina Villas and Marina Village on Al Kasir, where many homes have private pools.
Open water lies close on most sides of the Breakwater, so salt air reaches every villa garden and balcony. Outdoor furniture, pool fittings and AC condensers corrode early, spray marks glass on the front rows, and humid summer evenings leave mould in shaded corners of terraces. Pool pumps, outdoor AC units and garden lighting take the brunt of salt air on the Breakwater. Condenser coils are washed at every service, electrical fittings are checked for corrosion, and worn parts are listed for replacement.
Royal Marina Villas and Marina Sunset Bay have gated security, so the resident registers the crew ahead. Apartment buildings need a work permit from building management and a service lift booking. Exterior changes get checked with the master community at the site visit; we prepare the paperwork.

Questions about apartment AC installation in Marina & Breakwater
What does apartment AC installation include?
In an apartment the building system decides what can be fitted, so we first confirm chilled water or split, then install or replace the unit within the building rules. The work includes building system identified: chilled water fan coil or split; management rules on outdoor units and work permits obtained; floors, lift and corridors protected on the way in.
Can I have a split unit if my building is on chilled water?
No, not as a rule. Chilled water towers are not designed for individual outdoor units and management does not permit them. What can be done is to replace or add a fan coil unit, a valve or a thermostat on the building system, with the consent of management.
Do tenants need the landlord to agree?
For anything that changes the installed system, drills through an outside wall or adds an outdoor unit, the owner should agree in writing, and the building will normally ask for that letter with the permit request. Swapping a unit like for like is simpler.
How much does apartment AC installation cost in Marina & Breakwater?
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 apartment AC installation in Marina & Breakwater?
The MELLS provides apartment AC installation in Marina & Breakwater, Abu Dhabi. 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 apartment 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 Marina & Breakwater?
Yes. Our own technicians install split, ducted, cassette and multi split systems across Abu Dhabi. 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 Marina & Breakwater?
Royal Marina Villas and Marina Sunset Bay have gated security, so the resident registers the crew ahead. Apartment buildings need a work permit from building management and a service lift booking. Exterior changes get checked with the master community at the site visit; we prepare the paperwork.
How do you protect natural stone in a waterfront villa?
Stone is identified on the first visit and a small area is tested before cleaning. Marble and limestone get pH neutral products, and outdoor stone is rinsed of salt with clean water before it is scrubbed.
How do I choose a company for apartment AC installation in Marina & Breakwater?
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 are visits to Marina & Breakwater arranged?
Visits in Abu Dhabi are booked by appointment between 08:00 and 19:00, Monday to Saturday. Call or send the form and we agree the earliest time a supervisor can come to you.
