Emergency AC Repair & Diagnostics

AC breakdown in 47°C Saudi heat? We respond within 2 hours, 24/7.

An AC failure in Saudi Arabia's summer is a health emergency. Our emergency repair team responds across all major Saudi cities within 2 hours, equipped with the parts most likely needed — capacitors, fan motors, contactors, and refrigerant — to resolve 80% of breakdowns on the first visit. We diagnose systematically before replacing components, so you are never billed for parts that were not needed.

What's Included

Capacitor Replacement

Run and start capacitors are the most common cause of AC failure (40% of calls). We carry a full range of capacitor values on every van and typically complete this repair in under 45 minutes.

Refrigerant Leak Detection & Recharge

Electronic leak detection to find the source, brazing or flaring repair, nitrogen pressure test, and refrigerant recharge to precise manufacturer specification.

Compressor Diagnosis & Replacement

Compressor failure testing with megger and current analysis. Replacement with OEM-equivalent units carrying 12-month warranty. We advise honestly on repair vs replacement economics.

Fan Motor Replacement

Outdoor condenser fan and indoor evaporator fan motor replacement. Motor winding resistance testing confirms failure before replacement.

Control Board & PCB Repair

Visual inspection and component-level testing of control boards. Board replacement where repair is not possible — we stock common boards for major brands.

Electrical Fault Diagnosis

Tripped breakers, failed contactors, burnt wiring, capacitor failure — full electrical diagnostic from supply cable to control board.

Pricing Guide

Indicative Rates — Emergency AC Repair & Diagnostics

Emergency call-out (within 2 hours): SAR 100–200 service charge + parts. Capacitor replacement: SAR 150–300 total. Refrigerant leak repair + recharge: SAR 450–900. Fan motor replacement: SAR 300–700. Compressor replacement: SAR 900–3,000 depending on capacity. Evening (after 8pm) surcharge: SAR 100–150.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can you respond to an AC emergency in Riyadh/Jeddah/Dammam?

Our standard response time is 2 hours during working hours (7am–8pm) across all major Saudi cities. Between 8pm and midnight, response is 2–4 hours. We maintain a night emergency team for critical situations. Compound and annual contract customers receive priority dispatch.

Why does my AC turn on but not cool?

The three most common causes are: (1) low refrigerant from a leak — the unit runs but cannot transfer heat effectively, (2) severely blocked condenser coil preventing heat rejection, or (3) failed run capacitor causing the compressor to run at reduced efficiency. All three require a technician visit to diagnose — the symptom alone is not enough to distinguish between them.

Do you offer a warranty on AC repairs?

Yes. All repairs carry a 30-day labour warranty — if the same fault recurs within 30 days, we return free of charge. Parts carry the manufacturer warranty (typically 3–12 months for capacitors and motors, 12 months for compressors). For annual maintenance contract customers, emergency repairs are included in the contract.

My AC compressor is making a loud noise — do I need a replacement?

Not necessarily. Loud compressor noise can be caused by: loose mounting bolts vibrating against the cabinet (fix: retorque bolts, SAR 100–200), refrigerant overcharge causing liquid slugging (fix: recover excess refrigerant, SAR 300–450), or a genuinely failing compressor (replace). We diagnose before recommending — we will not quote a compressor replacement without confirming the diagnosis with current and pressure readings.
