Estimated cost for a year

...

An estimate from industry-reported price ranges, not a quote.

In Dubai, an AC maintenance contract for most apartments runs AED 450-2,500 a year and for villas AED 1,500-5,000+ a year. Sharjah contracts are usually priced per unit: AED 200-500+ per unit a year.

How does the calculator work out the range?

For Dubai it uses package ranges by home size, because that is how most contracts there are sold. It also shows the per-unit version alongside, since some companies price a split unit on its own at AED 380-1,000 a year.

Choose pay per visit and it multiplies one visit (AED 150-350+ a visit in Dubai, AED 100-150 per unit in Sharjah) by your unit count and by two visits a year. Two, because the price guide it draws on advises servicing at least twice a year. Many homes in Dubai run their AC hard for more of the year than that, so treat two visits as the floor.

What does the estimate leave out?

A typical visit covers a filter wash, drain flush and general check, and a contract usually includes 2-4 scheduled visits a year. These usually sit outside it or are capped: gas top-ups, spare parts, duct cleaning and unlimited emergency call-outs. If your unit needs gas every summer, the contract price will not be the number you actually pay.

The VAT option adds 5%, the UAE standard rate. Quotes are not always clear on whether it is included, so ask before you compare two of them.

Why are Abu Dhabi, Qatar and Kuwait blank?

We have not found a published price range for Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Ajman, Doha, Al Rayyan, Al Wakrah or the Kuwaiti cities that we could verify. Rather than stretch Dubai prices across another emirate or currency, the calculator says so. Each city gets figures when a source we can check does.
