We perform gas top-ups in Barberà del Vallès. We visit your property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and start. Air conditioners on the Costa Blanca accumulate dirt significantly faster than in drier inland regions. Three factors combine. First, the average relative humidity in coastal areas is 70-75 percent for much of the year, keeping the coil constantly exposed to condensation. Second, Sahara dust arriving each summer leaves a thin but sticky layer that adheres to the fins and traps other pollutants. Third, sea air with suspended particles, laden with salts, adds extra organic material to the filter.

How we work

Yes, we use certified products for domestic air conditioning. They are non-toxic, leaving no chemical residue in the air after rinsing and drying. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll reply in under 10 minutes during business hours. The next step is cleaning the coil, the part with thousands of thin fins through which the refrigerant gas circulates. We apply a specific descaling product for air conditioning, letting it act for 15-20 minutes depending on the level of dirt. We rinse with moderate water pressure, protecting the rest of the unit with plastic to prevent water from entering areas where it shouldn't. The correct technique requires experience: too much pressure bends the fins and reduces performance, too little doesn't remove the dirt.

When to call for gas top-up in Barberà del Vallès

After a deep sanitisation, the noticeable effects appear immediately. The unpleasant odour disappears from the first use. The unit recovers between 10 and 25 percent of its original cooling performance (because the clean coil transfers heat better). Electricity consumption decreases proportionally to the recovered performance. And respiratory symptoms in sensitive individuals clearly reduce or disappear. It's one of the most common problems in domestic air conditioning on the Costa Blanca, and almost no one knows why it happens. When you turn on the air conditioning after winter or after several weeks of disuse, a smell of dampness, mould, or something unpleasant and organic escapes, lingering in the room for hours. The cause is biological. The internal coil of the air conditioner condenses moisture every time the unit cools. This constant moisture, combined with organic dust entering through the filters and the moderate indoor temperature when the unit is off, creates the perfect environment for bacteria and fungi colonies to grow. The most worrying aspect isn't the smell itself, but what it indicates. The volatile compounds produced by these growing microorganisms are respiratory irritants and, in sensitive individuals or those with allergies, can cause headaches, nasal congestion, throat irritation, and worsen asthma. Children and the elderly are particularly susceptible. What you breathe every time the air conditioner is on is air passed through this colonised coil.

Materials and brands

2-3 hours per standard indoor unit. For multi-splits, add 1-2 hours per extra unit. We use protective materials to avoid stains. Yes, it is mandatory in Spain for any handling of refrigerant gas. Without it, the manufacturer's warranty is voided, and the installation may be declared illegal. The second detail is the gas charge. The quantity must be exactly as specified by the manufacturer for the installed copper length. A gram more or less won't be noticeable immediately, but accumulated over 5 years, it translates to a loss of performance. The charge is always done using a precision electronic scale, not by estimating pressure as some quick installers do.

Frequently asked questions

How long does diagnosis take?
Between 30 minutes and 2 hours depending on complexity. A simple fault is identified quickly. Small leaks or electronic problems may take longer.
Do you repair or just replace units?
Both. We repair whenever the repair makes economic sense. If it exceeds 60 percent of the price of a new unit, we'll tell you and you decide.
Do you work with all brands?
Mitsubishi, Daikin, LG, Toshiba, Samsung, Panasonic, Fujitsu, Hitachi, Hisense and others. For official warranty, we refer you to the brand's authorised service.
How long does a gas recharge last?
The recharge itself takes 30-45 minutes. But first, the leak must be located and repaired. Without repair, the gas escapes just as quickly and is illegal.
Do you have parts in stock?
Standard components (remotes, capacitors, sensors) yes. Electronic boards and compressors are ordered and arrive in 2-7 days depending on the brand and model.
