The first step is always a preliminary visit. We measure the exact copper pipe length between the indoor and outdoor units and check the available space for the outdoor unit and its orientation. We also assess if the electrical panel has sufficient capacity for the new equipment's consumption or if the contracted power needs to be increased, and verify community regulations regarding facade installations. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we will reply in under 10 minutes during business hours. Without measuring the copper, checking the facade, and evaluating the electrical panel, we cannot provide an honest quote. Free, no-obligation visit.

After connecting the copper pipes between the indoor and outdoor units, a deep vacuum must be performed on the refrigeration circuit to remove air and moisture before charging the gas. Without a vacuum, residual air mixed with the refrigerant gas reduces the equipment's efficiency by 20-30 percent, overheats the compressor, and drastically shortens its lifespan. The correct vacuum is achieved with a specific pump that lowers the pressure to -700 millibars and is maintained for 30 minutes to verify leak-tightness. Commercial equipment operates under much more demanding conditions than domestic units. 12-14 hours of daily operation during peak season, variable thermal loads throughout the day, accumulated dirt from higher airflow. Without adequate maintenance, a breakdown during the season for a commercial establishment results not only in repair costs but also lost revenue from hours or days of service interruption. Certified equipment, installation with relevant certificates and industrial registration where applicable.

Toshiba, Panasonic, and Fujitsu are a step below in price but not significantly in quality. They are a good option for tighter 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 tend to require more maintenance. The second detail is the gas charge. The amount must be exactly as indicated by the manufacturer for the installed copper length. A gram more or less will not be noticeable immediately, but accumulated over 5 years, it translates to a loss of performance. The charge is always done with a precise electronic scale, not by estimating pressure as some quick installers do. Yes, it is mandatory in Spain for any handling of refrigerant gas. Without it, the manufacturer's warranty is voided, and the installation may be declared illegal.

The cost of gas recharging in La Bordeta typically ranges between €126 and €1602. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and work time.
