Fog and damp rather than extreme heat
When an AC runs less and the air is damp, the indoor unit stays wet after it is switched off, so bacteria and mould grow inside and you notice a smell when it starts or dark spots on the fan blades. This is more common in foggy cities than in places with dry heat.
Many Abha residents use split units for heating on cold winter nights, so the unit works in both directions over the year. Outdoor units exposed to rain and fog also need their electrical connections and pipe insulation checked.
- Run the AC on fan mode for a few minutes before switching off so it dries inside.
- Ask for a sanitising clean of the indoor unit if you notice a smell or spots.
- Check the outdoor pipe insulation after the rainy season.

Abha AC FAQs
Why does my AC smell musty in Abha?
Damp air and infrequent use keep the indoor unit wet, so mould grows inside. A sanitising clean, and drying the unit on fan mode before switching off, stop it from coming back.
Do I need an AC in every room in Abha?
Not always. Many homes only fit units in the rooms that get the most sun. Ask a company to inspect the home before buying a new AC.
I rent out a furnished flat to visitors — when should I book maintenance?
At least two weeks before the season starts, so cleaning and any repairs are done before guests arrive.
