We replace underperforming ACs with smart, efficient systems – reducing costs and boosting sustainability, without compromising comfort.
In the UAE, air conditioning is no longer a luxury – it’s a necessity. People expect reliable, efficient cooling in homes, offices and public spaces as part of modern comfort. However, in many buildings outdated systems are becoming a problem due to energy costs and environmental concerns.
That's where ista comes in. We provide a seamless upgrade service to energy-efficient split AC units that cool faster, run more quietly and consume significantly less energy. Our retrofit process is quick and clean, causing minimal disruption to tenants or operations..
In regions such as the UAE, air conditioning plays a central role quality of life. What was once considered a luxury has become an everyday necessity, driven by rising temperatures, dense urban development and growing expectations of indoor comfort.
However, HVAC systems are also among the most energy-intensive components in buildings, accounting for up to 40% of total electricity usage in commercial settings. This makes efficient cooling essential for comfort, but also for controlling costs and achieving sustainability goals. Given the depletion of global energy resources and the UAE’s ambitious environmental goals, the need for smarter cooling solutions has never been greater.
Green buildings are no longer a niche phenomenon; they are the future. Managers and owners looking to reduce operational costs, increase property value and boost tenant satisfaction are actively embracing energy-efficient HVAC systems as a smart investment. The result? Lower bills, fewer emissions and more comfortable spaces for everyone.
ista offers complete AC modernization services for residential and commercial buildings. Our high-efficiency split systems feature advanced inverter technology that adjusts the speed of the compressor to match demand, resulting in faster cooling, reduced energy waste and a longer equipment lifespan. These systems also operate more quietly and are better suited to variable usage conditions — an important consideration in mixed-use or multi-tenant buildings.
Whether you are upgrading a single facility or a large property portfolio, we can provide a solution that balances comfort, sustainability and long-term savings.
A successful upgrade depends on two things: choosing the right system and proper installation. At ista, we follow best-in-class practices to ensure that your new air conditioning units perform at their best.
All split AC systems installed by ista comply with the latest UAE efficiency standards, including the Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology (ESMA) labeling requirements. These regulations set minimum performance levels for energy efficiency and cooling capacity, helping to lower national energy consumption and carbon emissions.
In addition, we offer systems certified for use with ozone-friendly refrigerants in line with Abu Dhabi Quality and Conformity Council (QCC) criteria. Our team ensures your building’s cooling infrastructure meets all regional environmental and energy regulations—today and in the future.
