Non-toxic, with no chemical residues in the air after rinsing and drying. The condensate tray and drain are cleaned separately with descaling product as they often accumulate limescale. If the drain is partially blocked, we clear it with a flexible hose. Finally, after drying all components, we apply a certified disinfectant product for use in air conditioning, which eliminates residual bacteria and fungi without leaving hazardous chemical residues.

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 sensitive. What you breathe every time the air conditioning is on is air that has passed through the colonised coil. After a deep sanitisation, the noticeable effects are immediate. The unpleasant odour disappears from the very first use. The unit recovers between 10 and 25 percent of its original cooling performance (as a clean coil transfers heat more efficiently). Electricity consumption decreases proportionally to the recovered performance. And respiratory symptoms in sensitive individuals are significantly reduced or disappear entirely. Air conditioning units on the Costa Blanca accumulate dirt significantly faster than in dry inland regions. Three factors contribute. Firstly, the average relative humidity in coastal areas is 70-75 percent for much of the year, constantly exposing the coil to condensation. Secondly, Saharan dust that arrives each summer leaves a thin but sticky layer that adheres to the fins and traps other contaminants. Thirdly, sea air with suspended particles loaded with salts adds extra organic material to the filter.

2-3 hours per standard indoor unit. For multi-splits, add 1-2 hours per extra unit. We use protective materials to avoid mess. Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, and LG are the three premium brands we install the most. Their inverter technology is very mature, and they consume 40 percent less than older fixed-rate air conditioners to produce the same amount of cooling. Their outdoor noise level is significantly lower, which is important in shared courtyards where neighbours might complain. Their filters are of higher quality and last longer between cleanings. The second detail is the gas refill. The amount must be exactly as specified by the manufacturer for the installed copper pipe length. You won't notice a difference of a gram more or less immediately, but accumulated over 5 years, it leads to performance loss. The refill is always done using a precision electronic scale, not by estimating pressure as some quick installers do.

The price for a gas refill in Cardedeu typically ranges from €126 to €1602. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials, and working time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. 30-day warranty on the service. If the odours return, we'll repeat the service at no extra cost. Toshiba, Panasonic, and Fujitsu are a step below in price but not significantly in quality. They are a good option for tight budgets. More economical brands like basic Samsung, Hisense, or Hitachi function correctly for the first four or five years, but their efficiency and durability are lower, and they usually require more maintenance.
