We perform gas recharging in Gavà. We come to the property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and start. The most worrying thing is not the smell but what it indicates. The volatile compounds produced by these microorganisms as they grow 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 sensitive. What you breathe every time the air conditioning is on is air passed through the colonised coil.

How we work

Yes, we use certified products for domestic air conditioning. Non-toxic, with no chemical residues in the air after rinsing and drying. Call us, write to us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online – we will reply in under 10 minutes during business hours. The next step is cleaning the coil, the part with thousands of thin fins where the refrigerant gas circulates. We apply a specific descaling product for air conditioning, let it act for 15-20 minutes depending on the degree of dirt. We rinse with moderate water pressure, protecting the rest of the equipment with plastic to prevent water from entering 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 recharging in Gavà

It is 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 unpleasantly organic comes out and lingers in the room for hours. The cause is biological. The internal coil of the air conditioner condenses moisture every time the unit cools. This permanent moisture, combined with the organic dust that enters through the filters and the moderate indoor temperature when the unit is off, creates the perfect environment for colonies of bacteria and fungi to grow. 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 percent for a large part of the year, keeping the coil constantly exposed to condensation. Secondly, the Saharan dust that arrives every summer leaves a thin but sticky layer that adheres to the fins and traps other contaminants. Thirdly, the sea air with suspended particles loaded with salts adds extra organic material to the filter. After a deep sanitisation, the noticeable effects appear immediately. The unpleasant odour disappears from the first use. The unit regains between 10 and 25 percent of its original cooling performance (because the clean coil transfers heat better). Electricity consumption decreases in proportion to the recovered performance. And respiratory symptoms in sensitive individuals are clearly reduced or disappear.

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 more time.
Do you repair or just replace 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, 30-45 minutes. But first, the leak must be located and repaired. Without repair, the gas escapes just as quickly and it is illegal.
Do you have parts in stock?
Common components (remotes, capacitors, sensors) yes. Electronic boards and compressors are ordered and arrive in 2-7 days depending on the brand and model.
