What is included
Supply and installation of split, ducted, cassette and multi split air conditioning for Dubai homes, offices and shops, sized to the room and tested at handover. Most cooling complaints in Dubai 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.
- Unit run and checked for faults before it is taken down
- Refrigerant pumped down and both service valves closed
- New pipe, insulation, cable and drain run to the new position
- Old core hole filled and the wall made good
How we carry out AC relocation
The unit is run first, so any existing fault is known before it is moved. With the compressor running, the liquid valve is closed and the refrigerant is drawn back into the outdoor unit, then the suction valve is shut. The pipes are disconnected and the open ports capped straight away to keep moisture out. At the new position the unit is mounted as a new installation, normally on new copper cut to length. The lines are vacuumed and leak tested, and refrigerant is added by weight if the run is longer than before.
Old pipes bent a second time tend to crack or flatten at the bends, and a unit left open to humid Dubai air for a day takes in moisture that later freezes inside the system. Moving between apartments brings another check: the new building may be on chilled water, or may not allow an outdoor unit where you hoped. The site visit covers both ends of the move, the new pipe route and whether a unit of that age is worth moving at all.
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.

AC Relocation in Al Quoz: what we plan for
Al Quoz lies between Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road and has two characters. Al Quoz 1 to 4 are residential, with private villas, older houses and some low rise apartment buildings. The four Industrial Areas hold warehouses, workshops, showrooms, factories and staff accommodation. Within them, Alserkal Avenue and the Creative Zone have turned warehouses into galleries, studios, cafes and offices. Al Khail Gate and Al Khail Heights are large apartment communities on the Al Khail Road side.
Industrial dust is the constant here. Cement, stone cutting, vehicle workshops and heavy lorries on open yards put a coarse grey dust in the air, and it settles on roofs, shutters, skylights and AC units. Homes near Sheikh Zayed Road or Al Khail Road get an oily traffic film on top of it. Rooftop package units and split condensers choke on coarse dust. Condenser coils are washed, filters changed or cleaned, belts and drains checked, and roof outlets cleared of the grit that washes into them.
Villas and most warehouses are on open streets with direct loading. The apartment communities run a permit and lift booking system, which The MELLS deals with. Galleries, managed warehouse compounds and working factories have their own site rules, confirmed at the site visit.

Questions about AC relocation in Al Quoz
What does AC relocation include?
To move an air conditioner the refrigerant is pumped down into the outdoor unit, both halves are disconnected and capped, and the unit is refitted on a new pipe run. The work includes unit run and checked for faults before it is taken down; refrigerant pumped down and both service valves closed; new pipe, insulation, cable and drain run to the new position.
Can I take my split AC with me when I move home?
Yes, if the new home can take a split unit. We remove it, carry it capped and upright, and fit it at the new address. Ask the landlord and the building first, since towers on chilled water cannot accept it.
Will the unit lose gas when it is moved?
Not if it is pumped down properly, because the charge is held in the outdoor unit behind two closed valves. A small amount is weighed in only where the new pipe run is longer than the length the factory charge covers.
How much does AC relocation cost in Al Quoz?
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 AC relocation in Al Quoz?
The MELLS provides AC relocation in Al Quoz, 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 AC relocation take?
Typically half a day for one split unit, longer for ducted systems. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.
Do you install air conditioners in Al Quoz?
Yes. Our own technicians install split, ducted, cassette and multi split systems across Dubai. 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.
What size of air conditioner does my room need?
Capacity follows the heat the room gains, not only its floor area. Glazing that faces the afternoon sun, ceiling height, a roof directly above, the number of people and any kitchen or equipment all add load. We measure and work it out at the site visit.
How do your crews get access to Al Quoz?
Villas and most warehouses are on open streets with direct loading. The apartment communities run a permit and lift booking system, which The MELLS deals with. Galleries, managed warehouse compounds and working factories have their own site rules, confirmed at the site visit.
Do you cover Al Khail Gate and Al Khail Heights?
Yes. Both are apartment communities with their own management. A compact team is sent, and the permit and the lift slot are requested before the visit.
How do I choose a company for AC relocation in Al Quoz?
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.
Can you come to Al Quoz at short notice?
Yes. Crews travel from our Barsha Heights base, and urgent work in Dubai is attended within two hours between 08:00 and 19:00, Monday to Saturday.
