An AC evaporator coil is the part of your AC system that cools air to the desired temperature. Its upkeep is crucial to avoid that ‘hot and stuffy’ feeling inside the home.
Unfortunately, the condensation that naturally forms on the coil attracts dirt and debris. When this builds up it reduces the effectiveness of your unit and can be known to trigger or worsen allergies and respiratory problems. Getting your condenser coil cleaned by a qualified professional can make a big difference to your overall air quality and is a fundamental part of general home maintenance in Dubai.

Your AC unit houses a coil that is responsible for cooling the air being pushed through the AC system. The coil is housed in your indoor system and is wet, which means it is susceptible to gathering dirt and mould, which naturally sticks to it.
Any dirt and mould collecting on your coil will eventually start to seep into your system and impact the quality of your air. Any unusual smells coming from your AC could be an indicator that your coils need cleaning. Dirt in your coils can also impact the efficiency of your system and effect energy usage.
A thorough clean of your coils should be carried out every 18 to 24 months.
Cleaning AC coils is potentially dangerous due to the combination of water & electricity that is involved. In addition, many of the AC indoor unit electrical components must first be removed in order to ensure your ducts are cleaned safely. This requires competency and knowledge, which is why AC coils should only be cleaned by qualified technicians.
Professional AC coil cleaning removes the build-up of dust, sand, allergens and other debris on your coil, enabling it to efficiently do its job of removing heat from the air. Dirty coils create indoor condensation, leading to leaks & damaged ceilings and preventing proper airflow in your home. If your coils are neglected, your energy consumption and bills will also increase as your AC will use more energy to maintain a cool temperature. This additional strain on your AC system can lead to costly repairs. Regular coil cleaning is therefore a cost-effective and fundamental part of home maintenance in Dubai.
The cost of your AC coil cleaning depends on the number of AC units you have in your home. Cost is also dependent on the ease of accessing your AC coils. Many coils in the UAE are located inside the ceiling with limited access. This can require ceiling cuts to be made to provide access before cleaning and the creation of a hatch for future access afterwards. We Will Fix It coil cleaning ranges between 850 and 1450 dhs per unit and ceiling repair work is additionally 225 dhs per hour + materials (All charges + 5% VAT.) If a ceiling cut is necessary to ensure AC effectiveness, we provide seamless repair as standard.
AC coil cleaning should be carried out every 18 months to 2 years. Coils accumulating dirt are forced to work harder to cool your home sufficiently. This additional strain on your AC can lead to water leaks, increased DEWA bills and additional breakdowns.
This is to thank the entire We Will Fix It team for the great service as always. They did full coil cleaning for our central AC units with a ceiling cut, then fixed the ceiling again with proper hatches. Such experts with professional, respectful staff.
