Dubai summers are extremely demanding on air conditioning systems. With temperatures soaring above 40°C, your AC works harder and longer, increasing the risk of breakdowns, poor cooling, and high electricity bills. Regular maintenance is the key to keeping your home or office cool, comfortable, and energy-efficient throughout the summer months.
Below are practical and professional AC maintenance tips recommended by experts at Onesfix Technical Services LLC.
1. Clean or Replace AC Filters Regularly
Dirty air filters block airflow and force your AC to work harder. This reduces cooling efficiency and increases power consumption.
Tip:
- Clean filters every 2–4 weeks during summer
- Replace damaged or heavily clogged filters
Clean filters improve airflow, enhance indoor air quality, and lower electricity bills.
2. Schedule Professional AC Servicing Before Peak Summer
Preventive servicing helps identify small issues before they turn into costly breakdowns during peak summer.
Professional servicing includes:
- Coil cleaning
- Drain line flushing
- Electrical connection checks
- Gas pressure inspection
Best time: April–May, before peak summer demand.
3. Check and Clean the Outdoor Condenser Unit
The outdoor unit releases heat from your AC system. Dust, sand, and debris can block airflow and reduce heat dissipation.
Maintenance tips:
- Keep the area around the condenser clear
- Avoid placing objects close to the unit
- Ensure proper ventilation
A clean condenser improves cooling performance and extends AC lifespan.
4. Inspect AC Drain Lines to Prevent Water Leakage
Blocked drain lines are a common issue during summer due to excess condensation.
Signs of blockage:
- Water leaking indoors
- Bad odors
- Reduced cooling
Regular drain cleaning prevents water damage and mold growth.
5. Set the Right Temperature for Efficient Cooling
Setting your AC too low does not cool the room faster—it only increases energy usage.
Recommended temperature:
- 23°C to 25°C for comfort and efficiency
This range balances cooling performance and electricity savings.
6. Seal Air Leaks and Improve Insulation
Cool air escapes through gaps around doors, windows, and poorly sealed ducts.
Quick fixes:
- Seal door and window gaps
- Close unused rooms
- Ensure ductwork is properly insulated
Better insulation helps your AC cool faster and run less.
7. Avoid Overloading Your AC System
Running multiple heat-producing appliances during peak hours increases indoor temperature.
Try to:
- Use ovens and heavy appliances during evening hours
- Turn off unnecessary lights
- Use curtains or blinds to block direct sunlight
This reduces the cooling load on your AC system.
8. Don’t Ignore Early Warning Signs
Unusual noises, weak airflow, bad smells, or frequent cycling indicate problems.
Early action saves money.
Small repairs done on time prevent major failures during extreme heat.
9. Consider an Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC)
An AMC ensures regular servicing, priority support, and peace of mind throughout the year.
Benefits of AMC:
- Scheduled preventive maintenance
- Faster emergency response
- Lower long-term repair costs
Ideal for villas, apartments, offices, and commercial spaces in Dubai and Sharjah.
