Leak detection and repair, part replacement, or gas refill based on diagnosis. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online – we'll reply in under 10 minutes during business hours. Diagnosis begins with a brief interview with the client about when the problem started, how it manifests, and if anything unusual happened before (storm, moving the unit, impact). It continues with a visual inspection for oil stains indicating leaks, visible mechanical damage, or accumulated dirt. Then, electrical measurements and refrigerant analysis with gauges. Once the cause is identified, we provide a fixed repair quote, compared to the cost of a new unit if the damage is extensive.

Fault detection using certified instruments before proposing a repair. Professional diagnosis when the air conditioner isn't cooling properly. Gas leaks, compressor, electronics, and sensor issues. Repair or replacement as needed. Yes, but we locate the leak first. Recharging without repairing is illegal and a temporary fix. If there's a leak, we repair it first, then recharge.

We arrive with a complete set of instruments: pressure gauges, contact and infrared thermometers, electronic gas leak detectors, multimeters, and clamp meters for electrical measurements. We also use brand-specific diagnostic apps to read error codes stored on the control board. Faulty electronic boards due to power surges, humidity, or component aging are relatively common in areas with thunderstorms like the inland Vega Baja in August. Repair may involve replacing the entire board or, if locatable, replacing specific capacitors or resistors. This depends heavily on the model and parts availability. Common components (remotes, capacitors, sensors) are usually in stock. Electronic boards and compressors are ordered and typically arrive within 2-7 days, depending on the brand and model.

The price for a gas refill in Sant Andreu de Llavaneres typically ranges between €126 and €1602 as a general guide. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials used, and work time, and we always finalise it after seeing photos or, if you prefer, after an on-site inspection, with no obligation. As a general rule, if the repair cost exceeds 60 percent of the cost of an equivalent new unit, it's not worthwhile. This is because repairing an expensive component leaves the rest of the unit at its actual age. Other components will likely fail soon. Replacing a compressor on a nine-year-old unit for a significant amount, knowing the electronics and fans are also aging, is generally a poor investment. An exhausted compressor in economy-range units after 6-9 years of intensive use is the most expensive breakdown. Replacing the compressor costs a considerable portion of a new unit's price and is only worthwhile for premium units with a reasonable remaining service life. For basic units, we usually recommend replacement.
