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.
- Route chosen to the nearest floor drain, stack or outside wall
- Pipe laid to a steady fall with no dips or back slopes
- Trap fitted on ducted units so the pan can empty
- Water poured into the pan to prove the flow before closing up
How we carry out AC drain line installation
An air conditioner in Abu Dhabi humidity pulls litres of water from the air in a day, and all of it has to leave by gravity or by pump. We run rigid PVC pipe, solvent welded at the joints, from the drain pan to a floor drain, a stack or an outside wall. The pipe falls all the way and is clipped closely so it cannot sag between supports. Ducted units get a trap. Lines through a ceiling void are insulated. Where no fall is possible, a small condensate pump with a float switch lifts the water to a higher drain.
Nearly every stained ceiling under an AC unit comes back to the drain: a flexible hose with a dip that holds water and grows slime, a pipe laid flat, or a line joined into a waste pipe with no air break, so smells return through the grille. Drain lines also block with algae during the long cooling season. The site visit follows the existing line, checks the fall with a level and finds a discharge point the building accepts, since some towers do not allow drips onto a facade or a balcony below.
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 Drain Line Installation in Al Rawdah: what we plan for
Al Rawdah covers the southern inland part of Abu Dhabi island, between Al Khaleej Al Arabi Street and Sheikh Rashid Bin Saeed Street, with Zayed Sports City on its edge. Housing mixes private villas set back from the main streets, mid rise apartment and hotel apartment buildings, and the Rihan Heights towers rising above podium gardens near the sports city.
Open ground around the sports grounds and the main roads means fine sand reaches every terrace and window track. Closer to Khor Al Maqta, humidity rises in summer, and condensation forms on cold AC ducts in roof spaces and ceiling voids. Duct condensation is common in Rawdah villas. We check the insulation on ducts in the ceiling void, clean coils and drain pans, and set the system so it dries the air properly.
Rihan Heights and the apartment buildings need a work permit from building management and a service lift booking. Private villas are reached with the owner's agreement. Any approval for exterior work is identified at the site visit, and we prepare the paperwork the community asks for.

Questions about AC drain line installation in Al Rawdah
What does AC drain line installation include?
Condensate from the indoor unit is carried away in rigid PVC pipe laid to a continuous fall, trapped where the unit needs it, insulated in the ceiling and tested with water. The work includes route chosen to the nearest floor drain, stack or outside wall; pipe laid to a steady fall with no dips or back slopes; trap fitted on ducted units so the pan can empty.
Why does my AC keep leaking water indoors?
The drain is the first suspect. It may be blocked with slime, sagging so that water stands in it, or missing the trap a ducted unit needs. If cleaning clears it for only a few weeks, the line itself has a fault in its fall and should be run again.
When is a condensate pump needed?
When the unit sits lower than any drain it can reach, or the only route runs uphill, as with a wall unit on an inside wall. The pump lifts the water through a thin tube to a drain point, and a float switch stops the unit if the pump fails.
How much does AC drain line installation cost in Al Rawdah?
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 drain line installation in Al Rawdah?
The MELLS provides AC drain line installation in Al Rawdah, 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 AC drain line installation 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 Rawdah?
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.
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 Rawdah?
Rihan Heights and the apartment buildings need a work permit from building management and a service lift booking. Private villas are reached with the owner's agreement. Any approval for exterior work is identified at the site visit, and we prepare the paperwork the community asks for.
Do you clean apartments in Rihan Heights?
Yes, by appointment. The building permit and service lift booking are arranged first, and the crew brings its own equipment in through the service entrance.
How do I choose a company for AC drain line installation in Al Rawdah?
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 Al Rawdah arranged?
