5 Critical Questions to Ask Your AC Contractor Before Installation
Summer in the Sultanate is unforgiving. Unlike other parts of the world where air conditioning is a luxury, in Oman, it is a lifeline. With temperatures regularly soaring above 40°C, ensuring your new cooling system is installed correctly—and with the right materials—is the most important investment you will make for your property this year.
However, not all installations are created equal. A great unit installed with poor-quality copper or cheap insulation will fail within a year. As the leading HVAC wholesale dealer in Oman, Rubo Al Hail International Enterprise knows exactly what goes into a long-lasting system.
Before you sign a contract with an installer or technician, here are five critical questions you must ask to ensure you are getting your money’s worth.
1. “Where do you source your spare parts and materials?”
This is the most overlooked question. Many contractors try to cut costs by using thin copper piping or low-grade refrigerant gas.
- The Right Answer: You want a contractor who sources from reputable suppliers. If they are buying from Rubo Al Hail, you know they are using genuine, high-quality components that meet industry standards.
- Why it matters: High-quality copper coils and brackets ensure safety and prevent gas leaks, saving you money on repairs down the road.
2. “How long have you been operating in Oman?”
Experience is essential when dealing with our specific climate conditions. You need a team that understands how humidity and dust affect AC performance.
- Our Track Record: Rubo Al Hail has been a pioneer in the market since 1975. We have supported thousands of projects across the Sultanate, so we know exactly which brands and parts survive the Oman heat.
3. “What type of Refrigerant Gas are you using?”
Not all gas is the same. Impure or “fake” gas can destroy your compressor and increase your electricity bill.
- The Standard: Ensure they are using high-purity gas (like R410A or R22 depending on the unit). We stock only certified refrigerant gases to ensure maximum cooling efficiency.
4. “Do you offer a warranty on both labor and parts?”
A professional contractor should stand behind their work. However, the warranty on the parts depends on where they were bought.
- The Rubo Advantage: When you or your contractor buy A/C parts near Muscat from us, you are getting products backed by manufacturer reliability, from compressors to capacitors.
5. “Are you equipping the unit for the local environment?”
An installation in Muscat requires specific protection against salt and corrosion, especially near the coast.
- What to look for: Ask if they are using anti-corrosive coatings or high-quality insulation tape. These small details, available at our showroom, significantly extend the life of your unit.
