We perform gas refills in Pallejà. We go 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. Volatile compounds produced by microorganisms as they grow are respiratory irritants and, in sensitive individuals or those with allergies, can cause headaches, nasal congestion, throat irritation, and asthma exacerbation. Children and the elderly are particularly sensitive. What you breathe every time the air conditioner is on is that air passed through the colonised coil.

How we work

Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request a quote online — we will reply in under 10 minutes during business hours. Yes, we use certified products for domestic air conditioning. Non-toxic, with no chemical residue in the air after rinsing and drying. The next step is cleaning the coil, the part with thousands of fine fins through which the refrigerant gas circulates. We apply a specific descaling product for air conditioning, leaving it to act for 15-20 minutes depending on the degree of dirt. We rinse with moderate water pressure, protecting the rest of the unit 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 refill in Pallejà

It's 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 conditioner 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 internal 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 mould colonies to grow. After a deep sanitisation, the noticeable effects appear immediately. The unpleasant smell disappears from the very first use. The unit recovers between 10 and 25 percent of its original cooling capacity (because a clean coil transfers heat better). Electricity consumption decreases proportionally to the recovered performance. And respiratory symptoms in sensitive individuals are clearly 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 percent for a large part of the year, which keeps the coil constantly exposed to condensation. Secondly, Saharan dust arriving each summer leaves a thin but sticky layer that adheres to the fins and traps other contaminants. Thirdly, sea air with suspended particles loaded with salts contributes 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 take longer.
Do you repair or just replace units?
Both. We always repair when the repair makes economic sense. If it exceeds 60 per cent of the price of a new unit, 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 authorized 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 will escape 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.
