Central AC installation in Al Shifa

We calculate the thermal load for each zone based on its area, ceiling height, number of external openings, orientation and how it will be used. In Jeddah the sun's effect on west-facing facades is significant, and high humidity goes into the calculation. We choose the unit size after this calculation, not before.

We fabricate round and rectangular ducts in our own workshop from G90 galvanised sheet or aluminium sheet depending on what the project needs. This lets us cut ducts to the exact site dimensions and fit them tightly, avoiding ill-fitting sections that leak air and raise electricity consumption.

We use Mueller copper in runs of up to 30 metres without welded joints, which reduces potential leak points. If a run exceeds that, the survey determines whether the outdoor unit position needs rethinking or whether the refrigerant charge needs adjustment according to the type shown on the unit's nameplate.

Yes, and it is settled at the design stage. Each floor can have its own unit, or the network can be split into zones with dampers and a thermostat in each, so you do not cool the whole upper floor while the family sits in the majlis. We recommend the right option after the load calculation.

Yes, and the roof surface determines what kind of base is needed. For villas we fabricate a raised steel frame that keeps the unit clear of pooled rainwater and allows airflow beneath it. The exact height and angle depend on the roof pitch and the condensate drain position, which the site survey establishes. The aim is to keep the unit level and to prevent vibration movement during operation.

Yes, central AC cuts electricity bills compared to multiple separate units, as it distributes cooling with high efficiency. Each villa varies by size, but we calculate optimal consumption and capacity before installation.

Most new villas and blocks are built with standard roofs, so units and ducts install straightforwardly. We coordinate with the building maintenance team if one exists, but structural changes are rarely needed.

Yes, we size for worst-case summer conditions and select adequate capacity. System performance depends on the villa or flat's thermal insulation and install quality, both of which we focus on.

The unit typically goes on the roof or a clear outdoor pad. We inspect the current electrical circuit and determine if it provides enough power. If not, we help arrange an additional line from the main board.
