Gas leak at the outdoor unit's fitting, especially in units over 5 years old. Salt spray and thermal expansion from summer to winter can loosen fittings. A small leak progressively reduces the refrigerant charge, and the unit cools less effectively each season. The repair involves detection with a professional gas detector, replacement of the fitting or brazing the copper, vacuuming, and recharging. Burned-out compressor in budget models after 6-9 years of intensive use. This is the most expensive repair. Replacing the compressor costs a significant portion of a new unit's price and only makes sense for premium models with a reasonable remaining lifespan. For basic models, we usually recommend replacement. Failed electronic control board due to power surges, humidity, or component aging. This is relatively common in areas with thunderstorms, like the inland Vega Baja in August. The repair might involve replacing the entire board or, if a specific component is identifiable, replacing the capacitor or resistor. It largely depends on the model and parts availability.

For premium units from recognised brands (Mitsubishi, Daikin, LG) that are 10-12 years old, repair often still makes economic sense because their overall quality justifies extending their lifespan. For basic units aged 7-8 years, replacement is almost always the more reasonable decision. Standard components (remote controls, capacitors, sensors) are usually kept in stock. Electronic boards and compressors are ordered and typically arrive within 2-7 days, depending on the brand and model. Mitsubishi, Daikin, LG, Toshiba, Samsung, Panasonic, Fujitsu, Hitachi, Hisense, and others. For official warranty service, we will direct you to the brand's authorised service centre.

The price for a heat pump installation or repair in La Nova Esquerra de l'Eixample typically ranges from €160 to €1440. The final cost depends on the property's condition, materials used, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. As a general rule, if the repair cost exceeds 60% of the price of an equivalent new unit, it is not economically sensible. This is because repairing an expensive component leaves the rest of the unit at its current age. Other components are likely to fail soon afterwards. Replacing the compressor of a nine-year-old unit for a considerable amount, knowing that the electronics and fans are also aging, is generally a poor investment. Both. We repair whenever the repair makes economic sense. If it exceeds 60% of the price of a new unit, we will inform you, and you can decide.
