HVAC Maintenance and AMCs in the GCC and Middle East

In the extreme climate of the GCC and Middle East, HVAC systems don’t just provide comfort they’re essential for daily life and business operations. That’s why HVAC maintenance and structured annual maintenance contracts (AMCs) are key to keeping air conditioning systems reliable, efficient, and cost-effective.

From routine AC maintenance services in residential complexes to large-scale industrial HVAC maintenance in factories, the right plan ensures systems perform reliably despite heat, dust, and humidity.

What Is an HVAC AMC?

An HVAC AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract) is an agreement between a service provider and a client covering inspections, cleaning, and repairs throughout the year. These contracts are widely used across the GCC — from Dubai and Riyadh to Doha and Muscat — to minimize downtime and extend system life.
