Can I book a specific time window?+

Pricing

How is the price calculated?+

After diagnosis we provide a written, itemised quotation covering labour, parts and any additional work. No work proceeds without your approval.

Do you offer fixed pricing for common jobs?+

For routine services such as AC maintenance and standard part replacements we publish fixed prices, so there are no surprises.

What payment methods do you accept?+

We accept cash, bank transfer and all major credit and debit cards. Invoices are provided on request for corporate clients.

Warranty

Do you provide a warranty on repairs?+

Every repair is covered by a written warranty on both labour and any parts we install. Duration depends on the appliance and the part.

What is not covered by the warranty?+

Damage caused by misuse, power surges, water damage or third-party interference after our repair is not covered.

Spare Parts

Do you use genuine spare parts?+

Yes, we prioritise original manufacturer parts. When these are unavailable we source high-quality OEM equivalents and state this clearly on the quote.

Do you keep parts in stock?+

Our vans carry the most commonly required parts. Any special-order parts are typically sourced within one to three working days.

Timing

Do you offer same-day service?+

Yes. Most calls received before noon are attended on the same day, subject to availability of parts.

How long does a typical repair take?+

Most residential repairs are completed on the first visit within 30 to 90 minutes. Complex jobs are scheduled with a clear timeline.

Emergency

Do you handle emergency repairs?+

Yes. We provide out-of-hours emergency response for critical issues such as refrigerator failure, water leakage and AC breakdowns.

Is there an emergency surcharge?+

Emergency slots outside normal working hours carry a modest surcharge, which is disclosed before we dispatch a technician.

Refrigerator

My fridge is running but not cooling. What could be wrong?+

Common causes include a faulty thermostat, blocked evaporator, dirty condenser coils, low refrigerant or a failing compressor. Our diagnosis pinpoints the exact cause.

Why is my fridge making loud noises?+

Noisy operation is often caused by the compressor, condenser fan or evaporator fan. A proper inspection identifies the source.

Washing Machine

My washing machine won't drain. What next?+

Blocked drain pumps, kinked hoses, clogged filters or a failing drain pump are the most common causes. We carry replacement pumps for major brands.

Why does my washing machine vibrate excessively?+

This is typically due to worn shock absorbers, loose transit bolts or unbalanced loads. We check and correct all three.

Dishwasher

My dishwasher is not cleaning properly. Why?+

Blocked spray arms, worn seals, faulty inlet valves or hard-water scale build-up are common causes. We resolve all of these.

There's water left at the bottom of the dishwasher after each cycle. Is that normal?+

A small amount is normal. Larger volumes suggest a drainage issue or a failing pump, which we will diagnose.

Oven

Why is my oven not heating evenly?+

Failed heating elements, malfunctioning fans or thermostat drift can all cause uneven heating. We test and calibrate each part.

Do you repair pyrolytic self-cleaning ovens?+

Yes. We handle both the heating and control-board components on self-cleaning ovens from all major brands.

Microwave

My microwave sparks inside. Is it safe to use?+

No. Stop using it immediately. Sparking is often caused by damaged waveguide covers or worn cavity paint, both of which we replace.

Why has my microwave stopped heating?+

Failed magnetrons, diodes or high-voltage capacitors are common causes. Because of the stored charge involved, this repair should always be done by a professional.

Cooker

The burners on my gas cooker won't ignite. What could be wrong?+

Blocked jets, faulty igniters or gas-valve issues are the usual causes. Our team handles gas repairs safely.

Can you repair induction cooktops?+

Yes. Induction repair usually involves power modules, control boards and cooling fans, all of which our team is trained on.

AC

How often should I service my AC?+

For Dubai's climate we recommend at least two service visits per year, ideally before summer and again mid-season.

My AC is not cooling. What might it need?+

Common causes include low refrigerant, dirty coils, faulty compressors, blocked drain lines or thermostat issues.

Do you handle AC gas refilling?+

Yes. We identify and repair the leak first, then refill with the correct refrigerant type and quantity for your unit.

Maintenance

Do you offer annual maintenance contracts?+

Yes. Our AMC packages cover scheduled visits, priority response, discounted parts and annual reporting for homes and businesses.

What is included in a preventive maintenance visit?+

Inspection, cleaning of key parts, functional testing, minor adjustments and a written report with recommendations.

Commercial

Do you provide service level agreements for restaurants?+

Yes. We offer response-time SLAs tailored to restaurants, cafés, cloud kitchens and hotels.

Can you service equipment overnight to avoid disruption?+

Yes. We can schedule work outside your operating hours by arrangement.

Residential

Will your technicians protect my floors and cabinets during the visit?+

Yes. We use protective mats, gloves and clean workmanship as a standard part of every visit.

Can you help decide whether to repair or replace an appliance?+

Yes. Our engineers will honestly recommend replacement if the repair cost approaches the value of a new unit.

Payment

Do you provide VAT invoices?+

Yes. All invoices are VAT-compliant and include the required company details for business claims.

Can I pay after the job is completed?+

Yes. Payment is only due once you have inspected and approved the completed repair.

Service Areas

Do you charge extra for distant areas of Dubai?+

No. Our standard call-out fee applies across Dubai. Charges outside the emirate are agreed in advance.
