Air Conditioner Installation & Repair in Ureki
About 60 km from Batumi
Yes, Imia does come out to Ureki — but it is honest to say it is the furthest point in the service area, roughly 60 km north of Batumi and about an hour and a quarter’s drive. Visits here are normally batched with Kobuleti runs rather than done same-day. Prices are unchanged: installation from 140 GEL, diagnostics from 60 GEL, deep cleaning 130–150 GEL.
A seasonal resort, and what that means for the equipment
Ureki is a black magnetic-sand resort town, and its economy is almost entirely seasonal guesthouses and holiday apartments. The pattern that follows is very consistent: units are switched off around October, sit closed and damp through a wet winter, and are switched on again in the same fortnight in June — usually with paying guests already in the room.
That is the worst possible duty cycle for an air conditioner, and it produces a predictable set of faults. The drain pan and blower drum grow biofilm over the closed months and the unit smells the first time it runs. The drain line silts up or gets blocked and the unit drips indoors. A slow refrigerant leak that lost the charge over winter shows up as weak cooling on the first hot day. None of these are difficult repairs — but all of them are much cheaper handled in May than discovered in July with a guest in the room.
How a visit to Ureki actually works
Because of the distance, an Ureki call-out is planned rather than immediate. In practice visits are grouped with a Kobuleti run, which is roughly 35 km closer, so the best approach is to call ahead and be scheduled into the next trip north rather than expecting a same-day arrival. Pre-season, when several properties in the area book together, it is easy to fill a day; mid-season, it depends on what else is already booked on that stretch of coast.
That also makes it worth being thorough when we do come. Rather than one unit, get the whole property looked at: every indoor unit cleaned, every drain flushed and tested, refrigerant pressures checked, outdoor coils washed. Multiple units in a single visit are quoted together and work out cheaper per unit — and it means the property is set for the season in one appointment rather than three.
Prices, and Shekvetili next door
Nothing is added for the distance. Standard wall installation is 140 GEL at 7,000 BTU rising to 250 GEL at 24,000 BTU, unit replacement is 80 or 100 GEL by room size, a deep clean is 130 or 150 GEL, on-site diagnostics is from 60 GEL, a water-leak check from 50 GEL, refrigerant 15 GEL per 100 g and pipe and drainage preparation from 80 GEL. Guesthouses with cassette or ducted equipment: commercial cleaning from 250 GEL, commercial installation from 350 GEL.
Neighbouring Shekvetili is covered on the same trip. If you are anywhere on that stretch, say so when you call — the more properties there are to visit on one run, the easier it is to schedule and the sooner you get a date.

Questions about Ureki
Is Ureki too far for you to come out?
No, but it is planned rather than immediate. Ureki is roughly 60 km from Batumi, about an hour and a quarter, so visits are normally batched with a Kobuleti run rather than done same-day. Call ahead to be scheduled into the next trip north. Prices are the same as Batumi — nothing added for the distance.
When should a seasonal guesthouse in Ureki book its service?
April or May, before the units are needed. Air conditioners that sat closed and damp through a wet winter come back with smells, blocked drains and refrigerant lost to slow leaks — all cheap to fix in spring and expensive to discover in July with the room occupied. Booking the whole property as one visit is cheaper per unit.
