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.
- Pressures and temperatures read with the unit running
- Electronic leak detector run along pipes, joints and coils
- Bubble test at flare joints and valves to pinpoint the leak
- Leak repaired before the system is recharged to the maker's instructions
How we carry out refrigerant leak detection
A unit that needs gas every summer has a leak. Refrigerant does not get used up, so topping up without finding where it escapes only buys a few weeks or months before the room is warm again. Our own AC technicians start with the unit running, reading pressures and temperatures and looking for the usual signs: ice on a pipe, oil staining at a joint, or an indoor coil that never gets properly cold. Then they work along the system with an electronic leak detector, mostly at flare joints, valves and coil bends.
Where the detector picks up a trace, a bubble solution brushed onto the joint shows the exact point. Flare joints that were badly made or have worked loose are the most common source, followed by coils pitted by condensate and salt air near the sea. Once found, the leak is repaired, the system is pressure tested to make sure it holds, then evacuated and recharged to the maker's instructions for that model. If a coil or a pipe run is beyond repair, that is set out in the written quotation before any work goes ahead.
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.

Refrigerant Leak Detection in Mirdif: what we plan for
Mirdif is one of Dubai's established family districts, east of the airport, with streets of private villas built from the 1990s onwards, the townhouses of Shorooq and Mushrif Village, and apartments at Uptown Mirdif, Ghoroob, Mirdif Hills and Mirdif Tulip. Al Warqa, Al Mizhar, Al Rashidiya, Nad Al Hamar and Al Khawaneej surround it with larger private villas.
Many homes here are twenty to thirty years old, so AC ducts, water tanks, roofs and bathrooms have had time to collect what newer communities have not seen yet. Mature gardens bring leaf litter and irrigation marks, and dust settles quickly on sills, roofs and outdoor furniture. In villas of this age the AC ducts, drain lines, water heaters, pumps and rooftop tanks are usually due for attention. We inspect first and report what is urgent and what can wait.
Most streets are open, with no community gate, and we park at the villa. Apartment communities such as Ghoroob, Uptown Mirdif and Mirdif Hills need a work permit from building management, which we arrange.

Questions about refrigerant leak detection in Mirdif
What does refrigerant leak detection include?
For AC units that keep needing gas: our own AC technicians pressure test the system and check joints, flare nuts and coils to find the leak before any recharge. The work includes pressures and temperatures read with the unit running; electronic leak detector run along pipes, joints and coils; bubble test at flare joints and valves to pinpoint the leak.
Why not just top up the gas?
Because the gas leaves through the same leak again. A unit short of refrigerant works harder, cools less and can damage its compressor. Finding and repairing the leak first, then recharging to the maker's figures, is the repair that holds.
How long does it take to find a refrigerant leak?
Many leaks show up at a flare joint on the first visit. A slow leak inside a coil, or in a pipe hidden in a wall or ceiling, can take longer, and the technician may leave a pressure test on the system for a set time to confirm it.
How much does refrigerant leak detection cost in Mirdif?
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.
