7 Genius AC Hacks Every Dubai Apartment Needs This Summer | UAE Home Hacks

Dubai summer hits different. One minute you’re fine, next minute your AC is working overtime and your DEWA bill looks like a phone number 😭After 4 years of testing cooling hacks in UAE apartments, these 7 AC tricks actually work. No fancy gadgets, no electrician needed. Just smart habits I use daily in Ajman. 1. The 24°C Sweet Spot Set your AC to 24°C, not 18°C. Every 1°C lower = 8% more electricity. 24°C keeps you cool but stops DEWA from bullying you. Pro tip: Use a fan with AC . Feels 3°C colder for half the cost. 2. Close Doors = Trap the Cold AC cooling empty rooms = burning money. Keep bedroom + living room doors closed when AC is on. I use rolled towels as door draft stoppers. Costs 0 AED, saves 50 AED/month. 3. Clean Filters Every 2 Weeks Dusty filters = AC works 30% harder for same cooling. Turn off AC, pop open the front panel, slide out filters, rinse with water, dry in shade. 5 mins job, huge impact. Dubai dust is no joke. 4. Curtains = Free Insulation Direct sun through ...

About Me

 About HomeBlissByFarida


Hey, I’m Jenny πŸ‘‹ Welcome to my corner of UAE home bliss!


I spent 8 years surviving Dubai summers before moving to Ajman when I got married. Big change, same problem: 43°C heat + scary DEWA bills πŸ˜…


I started this blog for my mother-in-law Farida. She’s launching her own cleaning company and never had social media before. So I’m testing everything online for her - Instagram, Pinterest, blogs... if it helps small UAE businesses get seen, I’m figuring it out. Consider me her unofficial tech daughter-in-law πŸ˜‚


The real stars of the show: 

My feline QC team. Started with Harami & Ginger back in Dubai 2022, and the fam grew when we moved to Ajman. Now we have Lulu, Coco, Loco, Oreo, Lala, Caramel aka Poopoo Man 🀣, Luna, Coffee, and then there are “The Cousins” - Mocha, Ash, Pearl & Panda. Four adorable kittens who are still learning the ropes of professional couch-testing and curtain-climbing under Harami’s strict supervision.. They test every cooling gadget for nap-factor, durability, and “will it survive 14 cats”.


Why this blog exists:

UAE heat is brutal and AC bills hurt. So I test every cooling gadget under AED 100 from Amazon.ae. If it keeps 14 cats + 4 humans cool without killing the budget, you’ll get honest pics, real temps, and zero fluff.


The truth: 

Some links are Amazon.ae affiliate links. If you buy, I earn a small commission. That goes to testing more gadgets + cat treats for the QC team. All reviews are 100% real - if Poopoo Man knocks it off the table, you’ll know πŸ˜‚


Say hi!
