Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) Guide UAE

Published: February 2026  |  By Buraq Al Taybah Engineering Team

An Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) is a service agreement between a property owner and a maintenance contractor for the scheduled upkeep of building systems over a fixed period — typically 12 months. In Dubai's extreme climate, where HVAC systems run nearly year-round, an AMC isn't optional — it's critical infrastructure protection.

What Does an AMC Typically Cover?

A comprehensive AMC for commercial or residential properties in the UAE typically covers:

  • HVAC Systems — AC servicing, filter cleaning/replacement, refrigerant top-up, duct cleaning
  • Electrical Systems — Panel inspections, circuit breaker testing, earthing checks, lighting maintenance
  • Plumbing Systems — Leak detection, tap/valve servicing, water heater checks, drainage cleaning
  • Fire Fighting Systems — Sprinkler pressure tests, fire alarm panel checks, extinguisher servicing
  • General Maintenance — Painting touch-ups, door/lock repairs, ceiling and partition fixes

Types of AMC in Dubai

Comprehensive AMC

Covers all labor, materials, and spare parts. The contractor handles everything — the ultimate worry-free option.

Non-Comprehensive AMC

Covers labor and scheduled visits only. Materials and spare parts are billed separately.

On-Call AMC

No scheduled visits — the contractor responds only when called for breakdowns. Suitable for newer buildings.

Benefits of an AMC

  • Predictable maintenance costs — no surprise repair bills
  • Extended equipment lifespan through regular servicing
  • Reduced emergency breakdowns and costly repairs
  • Compliance with Dubai Municipality and DEWA requirements
  • Priority response during breakdowns
  • Documented maintenance history for property valuation

How to Choose the Right AMC Provider

  • Multi-discipline capability (HVAC + electrical + plumbing + fire)
  • Guaranteed response times (4-hour emergency, 24-hour routine)
  • Transparent pricing with no hidden charges
  • Qualified and licensed technicians
  • Digital reporting and maintenance logs
