Locating and repairing leaks, replacing parts, or recharging gas according to diagnosis. We arrive with a complete set of instruments. Manometers for pressure, contact and infrared thermometers, electronic gas leak detector, multimeter, and clamp meter for electrical measurements. We also bring each brand's specific diagnostic app to read error codes stored on the circuit board. Diagnosis begins with a brief interview with the client about when the problem started, how it manifests, if anything unusual happened before (storm, unit moved, impact). It continues with a visual inspection for oil stains indicating leaks, visible mechanical damage, accumulated dirt. Then, electrical measurements and refrigerant analysis with manometers. Once the cause is identified, a fixed quote for the repair is provided, compared with the cost of a new unit if the fault is major.

Compressor failure in budget-range units after 6-9 years of intensive use. This is the most expensive fault. Replacing the compressor costs a significant portion of a new unit's price and only makes sense for premium units with reasonable remaining lifespan. For basic units, we usually recommend replacement. Electronic board failure due to overvoltage, moisture, or component aging. This is relatively common in areas with electrical storms, 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. Professional diagnosis when the air isn't cooling as before. Gas leaks, compressor, electronics, and sensors. Repair or replacement as appropriate.

For premium units from recognised brands (Mitsubishi, Daikin, LG) aged 10-12 years, repair usually still makes sense as their overall quality justifies extending their lifespan. For basic units aged 7-8 years, replacement is almost always the sensible decision. Mitsubishi, Daikin, LG, Toshiba, Samsung, Panasonic, Fujitsu, Hitachi, Hisense, and others. For official warranty, we direct you to the brand's authorised service. Common components (remotes, capacitors, sensors) yes. Electronic boards and compressors are ordered and arrive in 2-7 days depending on the brand and model.

The price for gas charging in Arenys de Mar typically ranges between €126 and €1602. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials, and working time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. Older models without inverter technology start and stop abruptly at full power, stressing the compressor more. Modern inverter models modulate smoothly and last longer. Their electronics are more sensitive, and from the seventh or eighth year, board failures start to appear, requiring the entire module to be replaced. The decision between repairing it or changing the unit depends on the cost of the part versus the price of an equivalent new unit. Both. We repair whenever the repair makes economic sense. If it exceeds 60 percent of the price of a new unit, we will tell you and you decide.
