Common questions about AC installation & ducting in Jeddah
Can I use household chemicals instead of calling a technician?
Using unsuitable chemicals may corrode pipes and does not fix the root cause of the blockage, so it is better to rely on a specialist technician.
What is the difference between foam insulation and other types of insulation?
Foam insulation is easy to apply on uneven surfaces and forms one continuous layer with no joints, while other types, such as bitumen rolls, need the joints to be welded. The contractor decides which is most suitable after inspecting the site.
Can thermal insulation be applied to an existing building?
Yes, thermal insulation can be installed on the roofs and walls of existing buildings without the need for major structural modifications. The contractor prepares the surface, then applies the insulating material and the protective layer over it.
