Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We perform gas recharges in Cerdanyola del Vallès. We go to your property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and start. Air conditioners on the Costa Blanca accumulate dirt significantly faster than in dry inland regions. Three factors combine. First, the average relative humidity in coastal areas is 70-75 percent for much of the year, keeping the coils constantly exposed to condensation. Second, Saharan 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 loaded with salt contributes extra organic material to the filter.

How we work

Yes, we use certified products for domestic air conditioning. Non-toxic, no chemical residues in the air after rinsing and drying. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request a quote online — we'll reply in under 10 minutes during business hours. The condensate tray and drain are cleaned separately with a 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 air conditioning use that eliminates residual bacteria and fungi without leaving hazardous chemical residues.

When to call for a gas recharge in Cerdanyola del Vallès

After a deep sanitisation, perceptible effects appear immediately. Unpleasant odours disappear from the first use. The unit recovers between 10 and 25 percent of its original cooling capacity (as clean coils transfer heat better). Electricity consumption decreases proportionally to the recovered performance. And respiratory symptoms in sensitive individuals are clearly reduced or disappear. The most concerning 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 worsening asthma. Children and the elderly are particularly susceptible. What you breathe every time the air conditioner is on is the air passed through the colonised coils. This is one of the most common problems in domestic air conditioning on the Costa Blanca, and very few people know why it happens. When you turn on the air conditioner after winter or after several weeks of disuse, a smell of dampness, mould, or something unpleasantly organic emanates and lingers in the room for hours. The cause is biological. The internal coils of the air conditioner condense moisture every time the unit cools. This constant humidity, 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 mould colonies to grow.

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 making a mess. Yes, it is mandatory in Spain for any refrigerant gas handling. Without it, the manufacturer's warranty is void, and the installation may be declared illegal. 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 Samsung, basic 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.

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 equipment?
Both. We repair whenever the repair makes economic sense. If it exceeds 60 percent of the price of new equipment, we will 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 take?
The recharge itself, 30-45 minutes. But first, the leak must be located and repaired. Without repairing, the gas will escape just as quickly and it is illegal.
Do you have parts in stock?
Common components (remote controls, capacitors, sensors) yes. Electronic boards and compressors are ordered and arrive in 2-7 days depending on the brand and model.
