Central AC installation in Al Shati

We calculate the thermal load for each zone based on its area, ceiling height, number of external openings, orientation and how it will be used. In Jeddah the sun's effect on west-facing facades is significant, and high humidity goes into the calculation. We choose the unit size after this calculation, not before.

We fabricate round and rectangular ducts in our own workshop from G90 galvanised sheet or aluminium sheet depending on what the project needs. This lets us cut ducts to the exact site dimensions and fit them tightly, avoiding ill-fitting sections that leak air and raise electricity consumption.

We use Mueller copper in runs of up to 30 metres without welded joints, which reduces potential leak points. If a run exceeds that, the survey determines whether the outdoor unit position needs rethinking or whether the refrigerant charge needs adjustment according to the type shown on the unit's nameplate.

Yes, and it is settled at the design stage. Each floor can have its own unit, or the network can be split into zones with dampers and a thermostat in each, so you do not cool the whole upper floor while the family sits in the majlis. We recommend the right option after the load calculation.

Yes, and the roof surface determines what kind of base is needed. For villas we fabricate a raised steel frame that keeps the unit clear of pooled rainwater and allows airflow beneath it. The exact height and angle depend on the roof pitch and the condensate drain position, which the site survey establishes. The aim is to keep the unit level and to prevent vibration movement during operation.

Yes, villas and buildings in Al Shati suit central AC well because internal spaces are large and the external walls and roof offer installation flexibility. Load calculation accounts for room count and sun exposure.

We calculate the load for your villa and plan the ductwork and copper runs to suit the existing layout, then fabricate the ducts in our workshop and install them with the outdoor unit. The roofs and corridors in Al Shati's villas usually offer straightforward paths for the runs.

Load calculation factors in direct sun exposure on walls, roofs and windows, as well as room size and orientation. This ensures we select the right central unit size and distribute airflow evenly.

We check the electrical capacity and available circuits before design, and advise upgrading the electrical infrastructure if needed. Modern central units typically require a dedicated circuit and dedicated protection.
