AC removal & refitting in Al Shama'il

It depends on the condition of the pipes and the layout at the new site. If the pipes are free of oxidation and insulation cracking, and the length fits the new run, they can be reused after inspection. If the new site needs a longer route or the existing pipes show wear, fresh Mueller copper pipe at 99% pure copper is run to suit the new layout. The site survey decides.

Before any connection is opened, the compressor is run to pump the refrigerant charge into the outdoor unit and the service valves are closed on it. If the connections are opened first, the refrigerant escapes into the air and is lost entirely, which is both costly and harmful to the environment. Pumping down first keeps the full charge sealed inside the outdoor unit, ready to use at the new site.

Once the pipes and cable are pulled out, the hole is cleared of insulation remnants and sleeve material, then sealed with a filler suited to the wall type, whether concrete, brick or gypsum board. The aim is a tight closure that stops humid air and insects from entering and leaves the wall surface clean before the site is handed back.

Yes, but moving to a different floor means a completely new pipe route, a different cable length, and possibly a changed drain line fall. The site survey defines the pipe path, the required run length and the outdoor unit position. Mueller copper pipe at 99% pure copper is then laid along a route that accounts for the floor difference, and a vacuum test and pressure test are carried out before the unit is started.

Yes, but a different floor changes the copper run length, the drain route and where the outdoor unit is fixed. At the survey we establish whether extra copper is needed and where the drain can fall correctly, then plan the full route before any removal begins.

We disconnect the unit with extreme care and recover all refrigerant first, then wrap it in strong protective padding and extract it slowly. We pre-measure the passage and windows to ensure safe removal.

We carry the parts by hand up the stairs or lift if available, and assemble them on the balcony directly. We coordinate with neighbours to avoid disturbing them during the work.

High heat and humidity in these packed flats increase the cooling load on the new unit. We recommend a unit with adequate capacity and regular cleaning of the outdoor condenser.

Yes, we recommend checking the electrical panel and existing wiring before installation, especially in older flats. Poor connections could affect the new unit's performance or create safety issues.
