Frequently asked
Qatar's extreme heat, humidity and airborne dust demand more frequent service than manufacturer schedules suggest. We recommend a full preventive service twice per year — ideally in March or April before peak summer, and again in August or September after the dustiest months. Heavy-use units (offices, restaurants, labour accommodation) benefit from quarterly maintenance. Regular service keeps cooling capacity high, prevents compressor burn-out, lowers KAHRAMAA bills and extends unit life by 3–5 years.
Typical residential AC repair pricing in Qatar starts at QAR 150 for a diagnostic visit. Most repairs land between QAR 200 and QAR 900 depending on the part. Capacitor replacement is around QAR 180–250, contactor or PCB QAR 350–600, gas refill QAR 250–500 depending on refrigerant type, and compressor replacement QAR 1,500–3,500. We always provide a written flat-rate quote before any work begins.
Warm air from an AC usually means one of five issues: low refrigerant from a leak, a frozen evaporator coil, a faulty compressor or capacitor, blocked condenser coils, or incorrect thermostat settings. In Qatar's heat, low refrigerant and dirty coils are by far the most common. A qualified technician can diagnose the exact cause in 20–30 minutes using manifold gauges and amp readings.
Water leakage almost always points to a blocked drain line, a tilted indoor unit, a damaged drain pan, or a frozen evaporator coil that thaws when the system stops. Algae growth in the drain line is extremely common in Qatar due to constant condensation. A professional drain flush with antimicrobial treatment usually resolves it in a single visit.
If your AC needs refrigerant, there is almost certainly a leak — sealed systems do not lose gas over time. A reputable technician will perform an electronic leak test and nitrogen pressure test, repair the leak (usually at a flare joint, weld or coil pinhole), then evacuate and recharge with the correct refrigerant. Topping up gas without fixing the leak is a short-term waste of money.
For a typical 25 square metre bedroom in Qatar you generally need a 1.5 ton (18,000 BTU) split AC. Higher ceilings, west-facing windows or rooms above 28 sqm move you to 2 ton (24,000 BTU). Under-sizing causes the compressor to run continuously and never reach set temperature; over-sizing causes short-cycling and high humidity. A professional load calculation is free with any quote from us.
Yes — most landlords in Qatar allow tenant-installed split ACs, but it is essential to get written permission first and document the wall condition before drilling. We provide a tidy installation with proper drain routing, insulated copper, certified brackets and signed work-completion forms that protect your deposit when you eventually move out.
A standard split AC installation takes 2–4 hours including bracket mounting, copper piping, drain line, electrical wiring, vacuum pull-down and commissioning. Long pipe runs, complex routing or villa multi-unit installs can extend this to a full day. We always confirm the timeline at the survey stage.
