How much does split AC installation cost in Dubai?

Split AC installation in Dubai (supply and install) costs AED 1,800–AED 4,500 depending on unit capacity (BTU), brand, and installation complexity. A standard 1.5 ton split unit suitable for a bedroom (up to 20sqm): AED 1,800–AED 2,800 supply and install for a mid-range brand. A 2 ton unit for a larger room: AED 2,200–AED 3,500. Premium brands (Daikin, Mitsubishi, Carrier): AED 2,500–AED 4,500 for a bedroom-sized unit. Installation complexity factors: distance from indoor to outdoor unit (longer refrigerant pipe runs cost more), whether outdoor unit placement requires scaffolding or special access, and electrical work required. Note: any AC installation in Dubai requires a licensed HVAC contractor. The installer should provide a warranty on both the unit and the installation. For a villa room that currently has no AC infrastructure, budget an additional AED 300–AED 600 for electrical connection work.
