Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We perform gas refills in La Prosperitat. We go to your property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and start. Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, and LG are the three premium brands we install most often. Their inverter technology is very mature and they consume 40 percent less than old fixed air conditioners to produce the same cooling. Their outdoor noise level is significantly lower, which is important in shared courtyards where neighbours might complain. Their filters are of higher quality and last longer between cleanings.

How we work

Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request a quote online — we'll reply in under 10 minutes during business hours. Without measuring the copper piping, checking the facade, and assessing the electrical panel, we cannot provide an honest quote. Free, no-obligation visit. The first step is always a preliminary visit. We measure the exact distance of the copper piping 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.

When to call for a gas refill in La Prosperitat

After connecting the copper pipes between the indoor and outdoor units, a deep vacuum must be created in the refrigeration circuit to remove air and moisture before charging the gas. Without a vacuum, residual air mixed with refrigerant gas reduces equipment 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 its seal. 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 proper maintenance, a breakdown during the season for a commercial premises results not only in repair costs but also lost revenue from hours or days of service interruption. Commercial installations above a certain power rating (typically 70 kW thermal) require industrial registration and a project signed by an engineer. For medium-sized premises below this threshold, a certificate signed by an authorised installer is sufficient. In any case, equipment must have CE marking and comply with European efficiency directives. The F-Gas regulation also applies and mandates registration of gas refills when they exceed certain kilograms.

Materials and brands

Yes, it is mandatory in Spain for any handling of refrigerant gas. 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. For tight budgets, they are a good option. More economical brands like Samsung, Hisense, or basic Hitachi function correctly for the first four or five years, but their efficiency and durability are lower, and they typically require more maintenance. The second detail is the gas charge. The quantity must be exactly as indicated by the manufacturer for the installed copper pipe length. A gram more or less won't be noticeable immediately, but accumulated over 5 years, it results in a loss of performance. The charge is always done with a precision electronic scale, not estimated by pressure as some quick installers do.

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 issues may require 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'll tell you so you can 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 manufacturer's authorised service.
How long does a gas refill last?
The refill itself takes 30-45 minutes. However, the leak must be located and repaired first. Without repairing it, 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.
