In the UAE, your air conditioning system is the single most important piece of equipment in your villa, apartment, or commercial office. When you schedule professional AC maintenance or repair with experts like Let’s Fix It LLC, you are investing in reliability, efficiency, and comfort.
Understanding the process ensures you know exactly what value you are receiving. Here is a step-by-step guide on what you should expect from our highly trained technicians during a service visit.
Phase 1: The Comprehensive AC Maintenance Check
Proper AC maintenance (often included in our Annual Maintenance Contracts or AMCs) is designed to be proactive, catching small issues before they become expensive breakdowns.
- Full System Inspection
The technician will begin by conducting a visual inspection of both the indoor (evaporator) and outdoor (condenser) units. They check for signs of damage, leaks, unusual noise, or excessive vibration.
- Deep Cleaning and Air Quality Check
Filter Replacement/Cleaning: This is standard. Dirty filters restrict airflow, reducing efficiency and hurting indoor air quality.
Coil Cleaning: Crucially, the evaporator and condenser coils are cleaned using specialized tools and solutions. Dirt and dust buildup on coils act as insulation, severely hindering the unit’s ability to exchange heat and causing efficiency to plummet.
Drain Line Clearance: The condensate drain line is flushed and cleared. Blocked drain lines are the leading cause of ceiling leaks in the UAE. Ensuring this line is free of sludge and mold prevents water damage to your flooring and painting.
- Electrical and Operational Diagnostics
Electrical Checks: The technician checks the voltage and amperage draw of the unit, verifying they are within the manufacturer’s specifications. They also inspect all electrical connections, capacitors, relays, and contactors for wear, corrosion, or looseness.
Refrigerant Level Verification: This is critical. They check the system’s pressures. If the pressure is low, the technician will look for leaks, as low refrigerant is almost always due to a leak, not normal consumption.
Thermostat Calibration: We ensure your thermostat is accurate and communicating correctly with the main unit.
Phase 2: AC Repair and Troubleshooting
If you call us for an issue—like your AC blowing warm air, making strange noises, or failing to switch on—the process involves focused diagnosis before repair work begins.
- Expert Diagnosis
Our technicians use specialized diagnostic tools to pinpoint the exact cause of the failure. Common issues identified include:
Compressor Failure: Often due to prolonged operation under high electrical load (caused by dirty coils).
Capacitor Failure: A common electrical component failure that prevents the compressor or fan from starting.
Refrigerant Leak: Locating the exact point of the leak in the piping or coils using specialized leak detectors.
- Clear Communication and Quotation
Before proceeding with any repair, the technician will clearly explain the root cause of the problem, the required steps to fix it (e.g., compressor replacement, leak sealing, or motor repair), and provide a transparent, upfront quote for the parts and labor. We believe in transparency—you approve the work before we start the repair.
- Certified Repair Execution
Repairs are carried out using manufacturer-approved spare parts. Whether it’s soldering a leak in the refrigerant line, replacing a faulty AC motor, or installing a new thermostat, the work is done by certified and licensed professionals to guarantee safety and compliance.
Phase 3: Final Testing and Sign-Off
No job is complete until we confirm the system is running optimally and the work area is clean.
Performance Verification: The technician runs the unit for a sustained period, verifying the temperature differential (the cooling capacity) across the coils and ensuring the unit is achieving the desired temperature setting efficiently.
Clean-Up: We ensure all debris, dirt, and packaging from the maintenance or repair process are removed, leaving your home or office spotless.
Documentation: You receive a detailed report outlining the services performed, any parts replaced, and recommendations for future AC maintenance.
