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.
- Existing controller wiring photographed and labelled
- Voltage and system type confirmed before a model is chosen
- Power isolated at the breaker while the wiring is changed
- App set up, schedules entered and each mode tested
How we carry out smart thermostat installation
Compatibility comes first. We remove the old controller, photograph the terminals and identify the system: a ducted split with its own control board, a chilled water fan coil with a valve and a three speed fan, or a VRF unit that accepts only its maker's control. The thermostat is chosen from that. Power is isolated, the wires are moved across terminal by terminal, and the plate is fixed level over the old box. The thermostat is then joined to the wifi, set up in the app and run through cooling, fan speeds and off.
Most thermostats sold online are built for low voltage systems, while many Abu Dhabi apartments have fan coil controllers that switch mains voltage. Wiring one to the other destroys the thermostat and can damage the fan coil. Wall mounted split units with a handheld remote do not take a wall thermostat at all and need an infrared controller instead. The site visit checks the wiring, the number of zones, the wifi signal at each position and whether the building allows the controller to be changed.
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.

Smart Thermostat Installation in Al Karamah: what we plan for
Al Karamah is an established district in the middle of Abu Dhabi island, between Al Karamah Street and Sheikh Rashid Bin Saeed Street. Villas and villa compounds such as Al Dhafra Compound make up much of the housing, with older standalone homes in pockets such as the Al Musalla Area. Mid rise apartment buildings including Al Maharba and Al Karama Complex line the main roads, and Delma Street runs through the middle.
Traffic on the main roads lifts fine dust that settles on window ledges, car ports and outdoor AC units. Older window seals let that dust indoors, and hard desalinated water leaves scale on taps, shower screens and kettles. Older villas often have AC drain lines running inside walls that block with sludge. Lines are cleared and flushed, units cleaned, and leaks found behind ceilings are opened up and repaired.
Gated villa compounds register contractors with security in advance through the resident. Apartment buildings need a work permit from building management and a booked service lift. Where exterior work may need an approval, this is identified at the site visit and we prepare the paperwork asked for.

Questions about smart thermostat installation in Al Karamah
What does smart thermostat installation include?
Smart thermostats replace the wall controller of a ducted or fan coil system once the wiring and voltage have been checked, and are then joined to the home network and tested. The work includes existing controller wiring photographed and labelled; voltage and system type confirmed before a model is chosen; power isolated at the breaker while the wiring is changed.
Will a smart thermostat work with my AC?
It depends on the system and the voltage at the old controller. Ducted units and chilled water fan coils can usually take one of a suitable type. VRF systems often accept only their own controls. We open the existing controller and check before anything is bought.
Does a smart thermostat lower the cooling bill?
It helps by not cooling an empty home: schedules, a higher set point while you are out, and switching on from your phone before you return. The saving depends on how you use it, and it cannot make up for a dirty coil or leaking ducts.
How much does smart thermostat installation cost in Al Karamah?
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 smart thermostat installation in Al Karamah?
The MELLS provides smart thermostat installation in Al Karamah, 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 smart thermostat installation take?
Typically half a day for one split unit, longer for ducted systems. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.
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 Al Karamah?
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.
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 your crews get access to Al Karamah?
Gated villa compounds register contractors with security in advance through the resident. Apartment buildings need a work permit from building management and a booked service lift. Where exterior work may need an approval, this is identified at the site visit and we prepare the paperwork asked for.
How do I choose a company for smart thermostat installation in Al Karamah?
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.
