What is included
Scheduled AC servicing, gas top up and repair by our own AC technicians, with urgent call outs in Dubai. A serviced AC cools faster, uses less power and fails less often in August. We service, diagnose and repair split, ducted and central systems.
- Power isolated and the capacitor safely discharged before testing
- Run capacitor measured against the rating printed on its case
- Contactor points inspected for pitting, burning and sticking
- Terminals tightened and dust brushed and vacuumed from the box
How we carry out AC capacitor and contactor testing
Two small parts in the outdoor unit cause many summer breakdowns. The run capacitor helps the compressor and fan motor start and keep turning, and it weakens with heat, often without any sign until the fan stops spinning. The contactor is the switch that brings the outdoor unit on when the thermostat calls; its contact points burn and pit each time it closes. Sand and the heat inside a rooftop control box speed both along. Our technicians isolate the power and discharge the capacitor before touching anything.
The capacitor is measured with a meter and the reading compared with the rating printed on its case; a swollen top or leaking oil is noted too. Contactor points are inspected for pitting and for a coil that hums or sticks. Terminals loosen as the unit heats and cools every day, so each one is tightened, and the box is brushed and vacuumed clear of dust. Any part that tests weak or looks burnt is photographed and quoted to you before it is replaced, with the readings left in the service record.
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 Capacitor and Contactor Testing in Al Barsha: what we plan for
Al Barsha combines streets of large private villas in Al Barsha 2 and 3 with the apartment buildings of Al Barsha 1 around Mall of the Emirates. Barsha Heights is a district of residential and office towers, and Al Barsha South includes Arjan, Dubai Science Park and the Villa Lantana compounds. The MELLS office is in Barsha Heights.
Sheikh Zayed Road and Hessa Street carry heavy traffic, so an oily film builds on road facing glass and sills. City dust enters through the AC and settles on high ledges. Our technicians are based minutes away, so urgent AC and maintenance calls in Al Barsha are usually attended well inside the two hour window.
Villas are on open streets. Towers in Barsha Heights and Al Barsha 1 need a work permit and a service lift booking, which we arrange.

Questions about AC capacitor and contactor testing in Al Barsha
What does AC capacitor and contactor testing include?
Electrical checks carried out during an AC service: terminals tightened, contactor points inspected, run capacitor tested against its rating and control boxes cleared of dust. The work includes power isolated and the capacitor safely discharged before testing; run capacitor measured against the rating printed on its case; contactor points inspected for pitting, burning and sticking.
Why did my outdoor fan stop while the compressor kept humming?
That pattern often points to a weak run capacitor or a failing fan motor. We test the capacitor first, since it is the simpler part, and quote the replacement before fitting anything. Running the unit in that state can overheat the compressor.
Will you replace parts on the day?
Only with your agreement. A failed capacitor or contactor is shown to you with its reading, and the replacement is quoted in writing first. Common sizes can often be fitted on the same visit; others are ordered and fitted on a return visit.
How much does AC capacitor and contactor testing cost in Al Barsha?
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.
