Practical explanations of air conditioning and refrigeration in Riyadh’s climate — from a workshop that has worked in this city since 1985
The single point where customers are most often taken advantage of. A refrigeration circuit is sealed, so if the charge is low there is a leak. How leaks are found and how a correct charge is done.
Water dripping from the indoor unit has four well-known causes, all of them fixable. How to tell them apart yourself, and why mopping it up is the wrong response.
Your AC runs, air comes out, but the room stays hot. Here are the six most common causes in Riyadh, ordered from simplest to most serious, and how to tell which one you have.
Ducted, concealed and chiller systems differ from splits in almost every respect. What goes wrong in them, and why the fault is usually in the ductwork rather than the machine.
Riyadh is not an ordinary city for air conditioners. How dust destroys cooling efficiency, the difference between rinsing a filter and a real deep clean, and the schedule this climate actually demands.
Most air conditioners that get destroyed are not worn out — they are relocated badly. Pump-down before disconnecting, protecting the copper, and what has to happen on reinstallation.
Sizing by floor area alone gets it wrong often in Riyadh’s climate. What actually drives heat load here, and why a bigger unit is not the safer choice.
Cold rooms for restaurants, warehouses and pharmacies: how they are sized, what fails in them, and why alarms and temperature logging are not optional extras.
A home fridge and a shop display chiller work on the same principle under completely different conditions. The most common faults, and the temperatures they should actually hold.
What an AC maintenance contract should contain, and how we work on building projects from shell stage to handover. For offices, towers, mosques, schools, restaurants and warehouses.
Air conditioning is the largest part of a Riyadh summer bill. What genuinely raises consumption, and which well-known savings tips have little or no effect.
