Leak detection and repair, parts replacement, or gas recharge based on diagnosis. Diagnosis begins with a brief interview with the client about when the problem started, how it manifests, and if anything unusual happened beforehand (storm, moving the unit, impact). It continues with a visual inspection for oil stains indicating leaks, visible mechanical damage, or accumulated dirt. Then, electrical measurements and refrigerant analysis with pressure gauges. Once the cause is identified, a fixed quote for the repair is provided, compared against the cost of a new unit if the fault is major. 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 bring brand-specific diagnostic software to read error codes stored in the control board.

Professional diagnosis when the air conditioner isn't cooling properly. Gas leaks, compressor, electronics, and sensor issues. Repair or replacement as appropriate. Fault identification with certified instruments before proposing a repair. Worn-out compressor in budget-friendly units with 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 typically only makes sense for premium units with reasonable remaining lifespan. For basic units, we usually recommend replacement.

Failed electronic board due to power surges, moisture, or component aging. It's relatively common in areas with electrical storms, like the interior of Vega Baja in August. The repair might involve replacing the entire board or, if the specific component is identifiable, replacing a faulty capacitor or resistor. It heavily depends on the model and parts availability. For premium units from recognised brands (Mitsubishi, Daikin, LG) aged 10-12 years, repair usually still makes sense as the overall quality justifies extending its lifespan. For basic units aged 7-8 years, replacement is almost always the sensible decision. Standard components (remote controls, capacitors, sensors) yes. Electronic boards and compressors are ordered and arrive in 2-7 days, depending on the brand and model.

The price for a gas recharge in Morera typically ranges between €126 and €1602. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials, and time spent. 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 difference between repairing it or replacing the unit depends on the cost of the part versus the price of an equivalent new unit. As a general rule, if the repair cost exceeds 60 percent of the cost of an equivalent new unit, it's not worthwhile. This is because repairing an expensive component leaves the rest of the unit at its actual age. Other components will likely fail soon. Replacing the compressor of a nine-year-old unit for a considerable amount, knowing that the electronics and fans are also ageing, is generally a poor investment.
