Leak detection and repair, part replacement, or gas refill according to diagnosis. 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 carry brand-specific diagnostic applications to read error codes stored on the control board. The diagnosis begins with a brief interview with the client about when the problem started, how it manifests, and if anything unusual happened before (storm, equipment moved, impact). This is followed by a visual inspection for oil stains indicating leaks, visible mechanical damage, or accumulated dirt. Then, electrical measurements and refrigerant analysis with gauges. Once the cause is identified, we provide a fixed quote for the repair, compared against the cost of new equipment if the fault is major.

Professional diagnosis when the air conditioning isn't cooling as it should. Gas leaks, compressor issues, electronics, and sensor faults. Repair or replacement as needed. When an air conditioning unit stops cooling effectively, there can be several causes that look similar at first glance. The difference lies in the speed and nature of the failure. If the unit has gradually lost efficiency over months, it is most likely a slow gas leak that has reduced the available charge in the system, causing it to perform poorly. If the unit was cooling normally and suddenly stopped cooling overnight, it is usually a large leak, compressor failure, or a problem with the electronic board. If it starts but stops after a few minutes with an error message on the remote, it could be the thermostat, temperature sensor, or a communication issue between units. Gas leak at the outdoor unit connection, especially in units over 5 years old. Salt air and seasonal temperature changes can loosen connections. A small leak progressively reduces the charge, and the unit cools less effectively each season. Repair involves detection with a professional gas detector, replacing the connection or re-soldering the copper, vacuuming, and a new refill.

Failed electronic boards due to power surges, humidity, or component aging. This is relatively common in areas prone to electrical storms, like inland regions during August. Repair may involve replacing the entire board or, if identifiable, replacing the specific capacitor or resistor. Much depends on the model and parts availability. For premium equipment from recognised brands (Mitsubishi, Daikin, LG) that are 10-12 years old, repair often still makes sense because the overall quality justifies extending its lifespan. For basic equipment that is 7-8 years old, replacement is almost always the sensible decision. Mitsubishi, Daikin, LG, Toshiba, Samsung, Panasonic, Fujitsu, Hitachi, Hisense, and others. For official warranty, we refer you to the brand's authorised service.

The price for a gas refill in El Putxet i el Farró typically ranges between €126 and €1602. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials used, and labor time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. Older models without inverter technology start and stop abruptly at full power, which puts more strain on the compressor. Modern inverter models modulate smoothly and last longer. Their electronics are more sensitive, and from the seventh or eighth year onwards, board failures requiring the entire module to be replaced begin to appear. The difference between repairing it or replacing the unit depends on the cost of the part versus the price of an equivalent new unit. Worn-out compressor in budget-range equipment 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 is only worthwhile for premium equipment with a reasonable remaining lifespan. For basic equipment, we typically recommend replacement.
