Leak detection and repair, parts replacement, or refrigerant recharge based on diagnosis. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we reply in under 10 minutes during business hours. Diagnosis begins with a brief interview with the client about when the problem started, how it manifests, and if anything unusual happened beforehand (storm, unit moved, impact). This is followed by a visual inspection looking for oil stains indicating leaks, visible mechanical damage, and accumulated dirt. Then, electrical measurements and refrigerant analysis with pressure gauges are performed. Once the cause is identified, a fixed repair quote is provided, compared with the cost of a new unit if the breakdown is major.

Breakdown detection using certified instruments before proposing a repair. Professional diagnosis when the air conditioner is not cooling as it should. Refrigerant leaks, compressor, electronics, and sensors. Repair or replacement as appropriate. Yes, but we locate the leak first. Recharging without repairing is illegal and a temporary fix. If there's a leak, we repair it first, then recharge.

We arrive with a full set of instruments. Pressure gauges, contact and infrared thermometers, electronic gas leak detector, multimeter, and clamp meter for electrical measurements. We also carry brand-specific diagnostic tools to read error codes stored in the unit's control board. Failed electronic boards due to overvoltage, moisture, or component aging. This is relatively common in areas with thunderstorms, like the Vega Baja interior in August. Repair may involve replacing the entire board or, if identifiable, replacing a specific capacitor or resistor. It depends heavily on the model and parts availability. Standard components (remotes, capacitors, sensors) yes. Electronic boards and compressors are ordered and typically arrive in 2-7 days depending on the brand and model.

The cost of breakdown repairs in Progrés typically ranges between €176 and €1224. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials, and working time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. As a general rule, if the repair cost exceeds 60 percent of the price of an equivalent new unit, it's not economical. This is because repairing one expensive component leaves the rest of the unit at its actual age, meaning other parts may fail soon. Replacing a compressor on a nine-year-old unit for a significant sum, knowing the electronics and fans are also aging, is generally a poor investment. Worn-out compressor in economy-range units with 6-9 years of intensive use. This is the most expensive breakdown. Replacing the compressor costs a considerable part of a new unit's price and is only worthwhile for premium units with a reasonable remaining service life. For basic units, we usually recommend replacement.
