About Climatech, HVAC Specialists in Dubai Since 1995

What we actually do

Climatech works in three connected areas, and most buildings we deal with need at least two of them.

Humidity control. Industrial dehumidifiers for swimming pools, warehouses, basements, plant rooms, cold storage and construction drying. Industrial humidifiers for printing, textiles, electronics assembly, pharmaceutical production and storage, where humidity affects a process or a product rather than simply comfort.

Air movement. Air curtains for entrances, cold rooms and service doors, keeping conditioned air in and heat, dust and insects out. Misting systems for terraces and semi open areas that cannot practically be air conditioned.

Water heating. Solar water heaters, heat pump water heaters, electric hot water storage, and steam, hot water and thermal oil boilers for commercial and industrial process duty.

Why the UAE changes the specification

This is the part that separates equipment that performs from equipment that disappoints, and it is the reason local experience matters more than the brochure.

Most equipment guidance is written for temperate climates. Applied here without adjustment it produces predictable failures.

Air curtains are specified heated across Europe, because there the point is warming incoming winter air. Here that works directly against what the building is doing, and ambient is almost always correct. Heat pumps are derated for cold winters in northern markets, while in this climate they operate near the top of their efficiency range almost continuously, which makes them a stronger option here than the literature suggests. Ultrasonic humidifiers run happily on mains water in soft water regions, but on untreated UAE supply they disperse fine mineral dust across the space.

Two local conditions drive most of it. Water hardness scales tanks, elements, collectors and pipework. Airborne dust fouls coils, collectors and intakes continuously. Neither causes an outright breakdown. Both quietly reduce output month after month until somebody notices the electricity bill rather than a fault.

Specifying for those conditions at the outset costs nothing. Discovering them afterwards is expensive.

Supply, installation and servicing

We are not only a supplier. Climatech installs the equipment it sells, and services equipment already in place, including systems we did not originally supply where we are able to.

Servicing matters more in this region than most equipment documentation implies, for the reasons above. A serviced system holds the performance it was bought at. An unserviced one stops earning its keep long before it stops working, and the loss never shows up as a breakdown, only as a running cost that has quietly climbed.

Who we work with

Villas and residential buildings, hotels and leisure facilities with significant hot water and pool demand, warehousing and logistics, food production and cold storage, printing and manufacturing, laboratories and healthcare, retail and hospitality, and labour accommodation.

The common thread is buildings where temperature, humidity or hot water demand affects cost, comfort, or the product itself. Where it only affects comfort, most decisions are straightforward. Where it affects a process or stock, specification has to be right the first time.

How we approach a requirement

We would rather understand the problem than quote against a product code. That usually means asking what the space is, what is happening in it now, what it needs to do instead, and what constraints the building puts on the answer.

Often the useful recommendation is not the largest piece of equipment. A dehumidifier fighting humid air through an open shutter will run permanently and never reach setpoint, and sealing the opening is cheaper than the extra capacity. An air curtain mounted too high will not reach the floor with enough energy to seal, regardless of what it cost. Getting those details right at the specification stage is most of the value.
