AC Maintenance

A well-structured restaurant AC AMC covers filter cleaning and replacement, condenser and evaporator coil cleaning (including grease treatment), refrigerant pressure checks, compressor and fan motor inspection, thermostat calibration, drainage line flushing, and electrical connection tightening. Make My Restaurant AMC plans also include a post-visit efficiency report and priority emergency callout cover.

Yes. UAE food-safety regulations require restaurants to maintain safe food-storage temperatures and adequate ventilation. A prolonged AC failure that raises kitchen or chiller ambient temperatures can result in product spoilage, an adverse Dubai Municipality inspection outcome, or temporary closure. A preventive AMC dramatically reduces this risk by catching faults before they escalate into full system failures.

Yes. Make My Restaurant operates across all seven UAE emirates including Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Fujairah, Umm Al Quwain, and Ras Al Khaimah. Multi-outlet restaurant groups benefit from a single AMC agreement with centralized reporting, consolidated billing, and one account manager coordinating scheduled visits across all locations.

Restaurant AMC pricing in Dubai varies by system size and number of units. A small cafe (3 to 5 split units) typically runs AED 3,000 to AED 7,000 per year; a full-service restaurant with VRF and kitchen makeup-air handling may range AED 15,000 to AED 40,000 annually. Bundled AMCs save 20 to 30% versus pay-per-visit servicing and include priority emergency callouts at no additional charge.

Fouled condenser coils force the compressor to work harder, raising power draw by 15 to 30% per ASHRAE studies. At the commercial DEWA commercial tariff of 38 fils per kWh, an unserviced 50-ton restaurant system can add AED 5,000 to AED 15,000 per year in wasted electricity versus a well-maintained system. Regular coil cleaning and refrigerant top-up pay for the AMC cost in energy savings alone.

Yes. Cooking vapours infiltrate return-air grilles and coat evaporator coils with a grease-and-dust layer that blocks airflow, reduces heat exchange efficiency, and creates a fire risk if the coil is near an electrical component. Restaurant evaporator coils typically need chemical degreaser cleaning every two to three months versus every six months in an office environment. Our AMC plans schedule grease-specific coil treatment at the correct F&B intervals.

Make My Restaurant's AMC includes a guaranteed four-hour on-site response SLA across Dubai, Sharjah, and the other five emirates during operating hours. Off-peak emergency callouts are also available. Emergency repair costs for AMC clients are covered within the contract, unlike pay-per-visit clients who face a 30 to 50% after-hours surcharge on top of standard repair labour and parts rates.

SEWA and FEWA follow UAE Green Building Regulations broadly aligned with Dubai's Al Saafat framework, requiring minimum EER ratings for commercial cooling equipment. Sharjah Industrial Area units -- including locations in Industrial Area 13 served by Make My Restaurant -- must meet SEWA connection standards for electrical loads. Our service reports document EER performance and refrigerant type to support utility compliance audits.

A trained technician checks suction and discharge pressures against the manufacturer's target superheat and subcooling values during each visit. A small pressure deficit indicates a top-up; persistent low readings after top-up indicate a leak that must be located and sealed before recharging. Our quarterly visits include a refrigerant pressure log so you have a trend record that helps distinguish slow leaks from normal seasonal variance.

Yes. Dubai Municipality food-safety inspectors check that kitchen and food-storage areas maintain safe ambient temperatures and that AC discharge vents are clean and mould-free. Visibly dirty air grilles, reduced cooling causing food-temperature violations, or excessive condensation dripping near food prep surfaces can trigger a compliance notice or temporary closure. Our AMC service reports serve as evidence of a documented maintenance programme during inspections.

Yes. We perform a paid onboarding inspection to document current system condition, refrigerant levels, coil cleanliness, and electrical integrity before starting an AMC. Any pre-existing faults are quoted separately so you receive a clear baseline. Once the onboarding is complete, we take full responsibility under the AMC terms. This service is available for restaurants across all seven emirates regardless of original installer.
