AC repair in Dubai costs AED 150 to 600 for a common fault such as a blocked drain, thermostat or contactor, and AED 150 to 400 to service one unit. A refrigerant top-up is AED 150 to 600, a leak found and repaired AED 500 to 800, and a compressor replacement AED 1,000 to 4,000.
Two technicians attend the same Dubai apartment in August. One puts a gauge on the system, reads the pressure and names the fault. The other says it needs gas, charges for gas, and is back in your living room next summer charging for gas again.
An AC company in Dubai charges AED 100 to 250 to attend and diagnose, before any parts or labour. That fee is not the repair. Below are the 2026 Dubai prices for the work itself, quoted per job unless the row says per unit.
Read the call-out and the repair as two separate numbers. A company that credits the diagnosis against the repair once you accept the quote is behaving normally; one that charges both in full is not. Ducted and chilled-water villa systems are quoted only after a site survey, so treat any flat figure for one as a placeholder. Job-by-job detail sits in our Dubai AC repair cost guide.
| Job | Property size | Typical price |
|---|---|---|
| Routine AC service | Per AC unit — coil, filter, drain, pressure check | AED 150 – 400 |
| Common repair | Drain, thermostat, sensor, contactor, filter drier | AED 150 – 600 |
| Refrigerant gas top-up | Home split unit, per unit, no leak repair | AED 150 – 600 |
| Leak repair and recharge | Find, repair, vacuum and recharge | AED 500 – 800 |
| Blower motor | Fan or blower motor repair or replacement | AED 300 – 900 |
| Compressor replacement | Wall split, apartment | AED 1,000 – 4,000 |
| Compressor replacement | Ducted or package unit, villa | AED 2,500 – 7,000 |
| AC installation | Labour only — you supply the unit | AED 150 – 1,500 |
| AC installation | Split AC supplied and installed | AED 1,200 – 6,000 |
| AC duct cleaning | Per AC unit — ducts, grilles, coil, sanitisation | AED 550 – 875 |
| AC duct cleaning | Apartment, 1–3 AC units | AED 500 – 1,800 |
| AC duct cleaning | Villa, 5–8 AC units (per-unit rate × unit count) | AED 2,500 – 7,000 |

Dubai homes cool in one of three ways, and which one you have decides what can be wrong with it. District cooling pipes chilled water from a central plant into a fan coil unit in your ceiling: no refrigerant, no outdoor condenser. Chiller-free means the developer or landlord already paid that charge, not that cooling is free. A DEWA-metered split or ducted system is yours, with its own refrigerant circuit.
Telling them apart takes thirty seconds. Look for an outdoor condenser on the balcony, roof or wall, and check whether you hold a cooling account with Empower, Emicool or Tabreed alongside DEWA. Towers in Business Bay, Jumeirah Lakes Towers, Downtown and Dubai Marina are commonly district-cooled; villas in Arabian Ranches and the Springs are not. A fan coil holds no refrigerant, so a gas refill quoted on a district-cooled flat is a quote for a part your home does not have. Its real faults are a blocked drain, a failed thermostat or a stuck actuator valve — a common repair at AED 150 to 600.
Ask these eight things before any money moves.
Then compare three written quotes for the same named fault, requested on the same day. The single most expensive habit in Dubai is calling one company in a panic and treating its number as the market.
TaskRight is a verified, zero-commission home services platform in the UAE. You hire and pay your Dubai AC technician direct — repairs, servicing, gas, duct cleaning, compressors and installs — so the number you are quoted is the number the technician set.
Describe the symptom, the system and the building once. Compare written quotes side by side, then hire direct. No obligation to book anyone.

AC repair in Dubai costs AED 150 to 600 for common faults: a blocked condensate drain, a thermostat, a sensor or a contactor. A blower or fan motor is AED 300 to 900, and a leak found, repaired and recharged is AED 500 to 800. Diagnosis is AED 100 to 250.
AC service charges in Dubai are AED 150 to 400 per unit for a standard service, covering coil wash, filter clean, drain flush and a gas pressure check. The same band covers a wall split, a window unit and a 1.5 ton unit. The charge is per AC unit, not per property, so a three-unit Dubai apartment is three times that figure.
A refrigerant top-up on a home split unit in Dubai costs AED 150 to 600 per unit, with no leak repair included. Refrigerant is not consumed, so a system needing gas every summer has a leak. Finding and repairing it, then recharging, costs AED 500 to 800 and stops the charge repeating.
Replacing an AC compressor in Dubai costs AED 1,000 to 4,000 for a wall split in an apartment, and AED 2,500 to 7,000 for a ducted or package unit in a villa. Get the fault named and the pressure reading in writing first: what is sold as compressor failure is often a capacitor or contactor.
In Dubai the landlord carries maintenance and repairs during the tenancy unless the contract says otherwise, under Article 16 of Dubai Law No. 26 of 2007. Most Dubai contracts then return small repairs to the tenant below a stated dirham cap. Read that clause first: a compressor replacement at AED 1,000 to 4,000 sits above every such cap.
