Should I repair the AC myself or call a technician?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be running more than usual lately, especially during the heatwaves. My neighbor mentioned that it might need a certified repair technician since it's been making some strange noises. I’m not sure if this is something I can handle myself or if I should call someone professional. Should I give it a try first or just hire an expert?

Absolutely essential is to ensure the air conditioning system in your apartment remains well-maintained, especially during Dubai’s intense heatwaves. Considering the unusual noises and increased operational time of your AC unit, it would be prudent to have a certified technician inspect and repair any potential issues.

In the UAE context, AC systems are crucial for comfort and health, particularly given the harsh climatic conditions. The Environmental Health Regulations in the UAE mandate that all HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems undergo regular inspections by professionals who hold relevant certifications from recognized bodies such as the Emirates Standards Organization (ESO). This ensures compliance with local standards and safety regulations.

Given your AC is making strange noises, it could indicate a serious issue such as refrigerant leaks or mechanical failures. Attempting to repair this yourself without proper training and certification could exacerbate the problem, potentially leading to further damage or even hazards like gas leaks in sealed systems.

It's highly recommended to contact a certified HVAC technician for an inspection. These professionals are trained to identify potential issues accurately and provide appropriate solutions. They have the necessary tools and expertise to ensure your AC runs efficiently and safely. A certified technician can also advise on energy-saving measures, ensuring you do not end up with an unexpectedly high electricity bill.

For your specific case, contacting Saniservice through their hotline at 800-MOLDS or sending them an email at hello@saniservice.com could be beneficial. They have a team of experts who are adept at handling various HVAC issues and can provide you with the necessary guidance based on your exact circumstances.

Remember, in Dubai’s climate, regular maintenance is not just about comfort; it's also about ensuring indoor air quality remains optimal, thereby supporting overall health during extended periods of high temperatures.
