We perform gas recharges in Esplugues de Llobregat. We visit the property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and start. It's one of the most common problems in domestic air conditioning on the Costa Blanca, and hardly anyone 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 emerges, lingering in the room for hours. The cause is biological. The indoor 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.

How we work

Call us, send us a WhatsApp message, or request a quote online – we reply in under 10 minutes during business hours. Yes, we use certified products for domestic air conditioning. Non-toxic, with no chemical residues in the air after rinsing and drying. The condensate tray and drain are cleaned separately with a descaling product as they often accumulate limescale. If the drain is partially blocked, we unblock it with a flexible hose. Finally, after drying all components, we apply a certified disinfectant product for air conditioning use which eliminates residual bacteria and fungi without leaving dangerous chemical residues.

When to call for gas recharging in Esplugues de Llobregat

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 of asthma. Children and the elderly are particularly susceptible. What you breathe in every time the air conditioning is on is air passed through a colonised coil. After a deep sanitisation, the perceptible effects are immediate. The unpleasant odour disappears from the first use. The unit recovers between 10% and 25% of its original cooling performance (because 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. Air conditioners on the Costa Blanca accumulate dirt significantly faster than in dry inland regions. Three factors combine. Firstly, the average relative humidity in coastal areas is 70-75% for much of the year, keeping the coil constantly exposed to condensation. Secondly, Sahara dust that arrives each summer leaves a thin but sticky layer that adheres to the fins and traps other pollutants. Thirdly, sea air with suspended particles laden with salts adds extra organic material to the filter.

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 require more time.
Do you repair or just change equipment?
Both. We always repair if 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 last?
The recharge itself takes 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?
Standard components (remotes, capacitors, sensors) yes. Electronic boards and compressors are ordered and arrive in 2-7 days depending on the brand and model.
