Most homes in Al Slama that come to us before summer have the same problem: air conditioning that has been running hard through spring without a proper service. Dust builds up on coils and filters, condensate drains clog, and units lose efficiency just as outdoor temperatures climb. A yearly maintenance contract is designed to catch these issues early, when a simple clean and check costs far less than an emergency call in the middle of a heatwave.

Al Slama sits at about 605 m above sea level, which is a useful detail for planning. Its centre lies roughly 4.6 km from the centre of Riyadh, within an approximate radius of 1.2 km, so most properties here are reachable within a short scheduling window, and technicians can plan routes efficiently across the neighbourhood. The elevation and distance from the city core also mean the local environment can differ from the busier central districts, so we tailor the checklist to how dust and heat actually behave on these streets rather than applying a generic template. Each visit is priced at SAR 160–420 per visit depending on the work involved, and if an older system or a worn finish needs restoration, that work is quoted at SAR 55–160 per m², so you know the range before anything starts.

Before booking a visit, ask a few clear questions. Confirm what the contract covers, whether filters, coils and drains are included, and how many visits are scheduled before summer. Ask how the per-visit price is set and what would move it toward the upper end of the range. If restoration might be needed, ask for the area to be measured and the rate per square metre written down. Finally, check how urgent call-outs are handled during the hottest weeks, because that is when a clear agreement matters most.

Checks before summer and before the rain season catch problems while they are still small.
