Leak detection and repair, parts replacement, or gas refill based on diagnosis. Diagnosis begins with a brief interview with the client about when the problem started, how it manifests, and if anything unusual happened beforehand (storm, equipment relocation, impact). It continues with a visual inspection for oil stains indicating leaks, visible mechanical damage, or accumulated dirt. Then, electrical measurements and refrigeration analysis with pressure gauges. Once the cause is identified, a fixed price for the repair is provided, compared against the cost of new equipment if the fault is major. We arrive with a full set of instruments. Pressure gauges, contact and infrared thermometers, electronic gas leak detectors, multimeters, and clamp meters for electrical measurements. We also bring the specific diagnostic application for each brand to read error codes stored on the board.

Professional diagnosis when the air conditioning isn't cooling like before. Gas leaks, compressor, electronics, and sensors. Repair or replacement as appropriate. Fault localisation with certified instruments before proposing a repair. An exhausted compressor in budget-range equipment with 6-9 years of intensive use is the most expensive fault. Replacing the compressor costs a significant portion of a new unit's price and is only worthwhile for premium equipment with a reasonable remaining service life. For basic equipment, we usually recommend replacement.

Failed electronic boards due to power surges, humidity, or component aging. This is relatively common in areas with thunderstorms, like the interior of Vega Baja in August. Repair may involve replacing the entire board or, if identifiable, replacing a specific capacitor or resistor. It highly depends on the model and parts availability. For premium equipment from recognised brands (Mitsubishi, Daikin, LG) that are 10-12 years old, repair is usually still worthwhile because the overall quality justifies extending its lifespan. For basic equipment that is 7-8 years old, replacement is almost always the sensible decision. 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.

The price for a gas refill in Ripollet typically ranges between €126 and €1602. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials used, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. Older models without inverter technology start and stop abruptly at full power, which puts more stress on the compressor. Modern inverter models modulate smoothly and last longer. Their electronics are more sensitive, and from the seventh or eighth year onwards, board failures requiring module replacement begin to appear. The difference between repairing it or replacing the equipment depends on the cost of the part versus the price of an equivalent new unit. As a general rule, if the repair exceeds 60 percent of the cost of an equivalent new unit, it's not worth it. This is because repairing an expensive component leaves the rest of the unit at its actual age. Other components will start to fail soon. Replacing the compressor of a nine-year-old unit for a considerable amount, knowing that the electronics and fans are also aging, is generally a poor investment.
