Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We perform gas refills in La Salut. We go to the property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and start. 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 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 airtightness.

How we work

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. Without measuring the copper, checking the facade, and evaluating the electrical panel, we cannot provide an honest quote. Free, no-obligation visit. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request a quote online – we'll reply in under 10 minutes during business hours.

When to call for a gas refill in La Salut

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 older fixed air conditioners to produce the same cooling. Their outdoor noise level is clearly lower, which is important in communal courtyards where neighbours might complain. Their filters are of better quality and last longer between cleanings. 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 costs not only repairs but also lost revenue from hours or days without service. The recharge itself, 30-45 minutes. But first, the leak must be located and repaired. Without repair, the gas will escape just as quickly and it is illegal.

Materials and brands

The second detail is the gas charge. The quantity must be the exact amount specified by the manufacturer for the installed copper length. One gram more or less won't be noticeable immediately, but accumulated over 5 years it translates into a loss of performance. The charge is always done with a precision electronic scale, not by estimating pressure as some quick installers do. Toshiba, Panasonic, and Fujitsu are a step down in price but not significantly in quality. They are a good option for tight budgets. 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 usually require more maintenance. 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.
