In Jeddah the AC runs most of the year, and humidity and sea air are harder on it than in any inland city. Before you call anyone, read this: a few checks you can do yourself, what usually goes wrong with ACs in Jeddah, and the questions that help you avoid a bad job.

They take a few minutes and sometimes save you a call-out. Switch the AC off before you touch the filter, and leave anything electrical to a technician.
Make sure it's on Cool mode (not Fan or Dry), set lower than the room temperature, and no timer is on. Try new batteries in the remote.
Open the front cover and slide the filter out. If it's dusty or has black spots, rinse it and let it dry completely before refitting. In Jeddah's humidity a damp filter brings smells.
If the AC drips indoors, check the drain pipe outside: is water coming out? If not, it's probably blocked.
Look in your fuse box for a switch that has flipped down. Switch it back on once only. If it trips again, leave it off and call a technician.
And what usually causes them. Only a technician can say for sure, but this helps you understand what they tell you.
The most common fault in Jeddah. Humid air produces a lot of water, and when the drain pipe blocks with dust the water comes back into the room. Don't wait: it damages walls.
Humidity plus dust on the indoor coil lets mould grow within a single season. It needs a deep clean with coil treatment, not just the filter.
A sign of mould inside the unit. Ask for a deep clean and treatment, not just a wipe on the outside.
Salty sea air builds up on the outdoor unit's fins and corrodes them, so the compressor works harder. Ask for the outdoor unit to be washed at every clean.
Often a dirty filter, a clogged coil or low gas. Low gas means a leak somewhere, so a refill without fixing the leak only lasts a while.
In humid air the AC runs longer. Regular cleaning and a sensible temperature make a big difference.
Often a loose fan or part. Don't ignore it; it tends to get worse.
Don't keep switching it back on. Get a technician to check the compressor and wiring.
Not sure which you have? A split AC has a unit on the wall inside the room and a box outside. A window AC is one box set into the wall. Central AC has vents in the ceiling and no unit in the room.
The indoor and outdoor units are joined by copper pipes.
One unit fitted into a hole in the wall.
One large system that sends air through ducts in the ceiling. Found in some villas and larger buildings.
In Jeddah the AC runs most of the year. A full clean before summer, and another after the peak.
In season, clean the filter yourself every month and let it dry completely before refitting.
Leave the AC on Fan mode for 10 minutes before switching it off. It dries the coil and cuts down mould and smells.
Make sure water is coming out of the drain pipe outside. If it stops, get it cleared before it drips indoors.
Ask before any work starts. A good technician won't mind.
Does it include parts? Is there a call-out or inspection fee?
Just the filter, or a deep clean of the coil with treatment, plus washing the outdoor unit and clearing the drain?
Low gas means a leak. Ask where the leak is and whether they'll fix it.
How long is the guarantee on the work and on the part? Get it in writing, even just on WhatsApp.
Ask which one they're fitting and what the price difference is, and ask them to write it on the bill.
Run the AC for 15 minutes, and check it's cooling and that water is coming out of the drain outside.
Look at photos of past work and genuine reviews from earlier customers.
One sign on its own doesn't prove anything, but take care if you see them.
This usually means the leak was never fixed. Ask for the leak to be found and repaired.
But calls it a deep clean. If the smell or black spots come back within days, the coil probably wasn't cleaned.
If you pay everything first, you have nothing left to hold back if the job isn't done properly.
Like the compressor. Ask why, get the price in writing, and compare it with the cost of a new AC before you agree.
Rough prices for one unit in a home. Use them to spot a quote that's way off, not as fixed prices. The final price depends on the type of unit, its condition and where it's fitted.
| Service | Rough price |
|---|---|
| Split AC deep clean | SAR 80 – 150 |
| Window AC cleaning | SAR 60 – 120 |
| Anti-mould coil treatment (add-on) | SAR 40 – 80 extra |
| Gas (Freon) recharge | SAR 150 – 350 |
| Fault visit (price given after inspection) | From SAR 60 |
| Split AC installation (pipes already in place) | SAR 60 – 200 |
| Moving an AC (remove and refit) | SAR 150 – 300 |
| Central AC cleaning | SAR 300 – 900 |
| Duct and vent cleaning | SAR 400 – 1,200 |
💡 Got more than one AC? Have them all cleaned in one visit. The price per unit drops a lot, and some Jeddah companies advertise from around SAR 35 per unit.
🌊 Ask for the outdoor unit to be washed at every clean. Salt on it makes the compressor work harder, and the compressor is the most expensive part of an AC.
A rough guide from 5 sources in Jeddah (November 2026): prices published by home-service apps, Jeddah AC cleaning companies and deals. We couldn't find enough real Jeddah customer jobs with prices, so treat these as rough. We've left out compressor replacement because we found no Jeddah prices for it. The final price is agreed between you and the technician. Laqeeni doesn't set prices or take commission.
The filter every month in season, and a full clean by a technician twice a year: before summer and after its peak. Coastal cities need more cleaning than inland ones.
Humidity and dust on the indoor coil lead to mould. Run the fan for 10 minutes before switching the AC off, and ask for a deep clean with treatment if the smell doesn't go.
No. Laqeeni is a directory that connects you with the technician directly. You agree and pay between you.
