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 moved, impact). This is followed by a visual inspection for oil stains indicating leaks, visible mechanical damage, or accumulated dirt. Then, electrical measurements and refrigerant analysis with manometers. Once the cause is identified, a fixed quote for the repair is provided, compared against the cost of a new unit if the fault is significant. We arrive with a full set of instruments. Manometers for pressure, contact and infrared thermometers, electronic gas leak detector, multimeter, and clamp meter for electrical measurements. We also use brand-specific diagnostic apps to read error codes stored in the unit's control board.

Commercial installations above a certain power rating (typically 70 kW thermal) require industrial registration and an engineer-signed project. For medium-sized premises below this threshold, a certificate signed by an authorised installer is sufficient. In all cases, equipment must have CE marking and comply with European efficiency directives. The F-Gas regulation also applies and mandates registration of gas refills exceeding certain kilograms. Professional calculation considers all these factors and correctly sizes the equipment. The difference in quote between correctly and incorrectly sized equipment might seem significant initially. The final cost is ultimately paid by the customer visiting the shop or restaurant. A poorly air-conditioned space loses customers in summer when the heat becomes unbearable. For hospitality, where customer comfort directly impacts revenue, the right equipment is an investment, not an expense. Certified equipment, installation with certificate, and industrial registration where applicable.

Common components (remotes, capacitors, sensors) yes. Electronic boards and compressors are ordered and arrive in 2-7 days depending on the brand and model. Mitsubishi, Daikin, LG, Toshiba, Samsung, Panasonic, Fujitsu, Hitachi, Hisense, and others. For official warranty, we refer you to the brand's authorised service. For premium brands (Mitsubishi, Daikin, LG) with 10-12 years, repair is often still worthwhile because the overall quality justifies extending the unit's lifespan. For basic units aged 7-8 years, replacement is almost always the sensible decision.

The price for a gas refill in Sant Vicenç dels Horts typically ranges between €126 and €1602. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials used, and work time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. Both. We always repair if the repair makes economic sense. If it exceeds 60 percent of the price of a new unit, we will inform you and you decide. As a general rule, if the repair cost exceeds 60 percent of the price of an equivalent new unit, it is not cost-effective. This is because repairing an expensive component leaves the rest of the unit at its actual age. Other components will likely 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.
