We perform gas charging in Sants-Badal. We visit the property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and start. After a deep sanitisation, noticeable effects appear immediately. Unpleasant odours vanish from the first run. The unit recovers between 10 and 25 percent of its original cooling performance (as a clean coil transfers heat better). Electricity consumption drops proportionally to the performance recovered. And respiratory symptoms in sensitive individuals clearly reduce or disappear.

How we work

Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll respond 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 thin fins where refrigerant gas circulates. We apply a specific descaling product for air conditioning, let it sit for 15-20 minutes depending on the level 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 charging in Sants-Badal

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 much of the year, which keeps the coil constantly exposed to condensation. Secondly, the Saharan dust that arrives each summer leaves a thin but sticky layer that adheres to the fins and traps other pollutants. Thirdly, the sea air with suspended particles loaded with salts contributes extra organic material to the filter. The most concerning aspect isn't the smell but what it indicates. The volatile compounds produced by these microorganisms as they grow are respiratory irritants and, in sensitive individuals or those with allergies, can cause headaches, nasal congestion, throat irritation, and worsening asthma. Children and the elderly are susceptible. What you breathe every time the air conditioner is on is that air passed through a colonised coil. 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 damp, mouldy, or unpleasant organic smell emerges that lingers in the room for hours. The cause is biological. The indoor coil of the air conditioner condenses moisture every time the unit cools. This constant moisture, combined with the organic dust entering through the filters and the moderate indoor temperature when the unit is off, creates the perfect environment for colonies of bacteria and fungi to grow.

Indicative price

The price for gas charging in Sants-Badal typically ranges between €126 and €1602. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and work time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. 30-day warranty on the service. If the odours return, we repeat the service at no extra cost. Professional calculation considers all these factors and correctly sizes the unit. The difference in quote between a correctly sized unit and a poorly sized one may seem significant at first. The actual cost is ultimately paid by the end customer who comes to the shop or restaurant. A poorly air-conditioned venue loses customers in summer when the heat becomes unbearable. For hospitality businesses, where customer comfort directly determines revenue, the correct unit is an investment, not an expense.

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 issues may take longer.
Do you repair or just replace units?
Both. We always repair if the repair makes economic sense. If it exceeds 60 percent 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 authorised service.
How long does a gas recharge last?
The recharge itself takes 30-45 minutes. But first, the leak must be located and repaired. Without repair, the gas will escape just as quickly and it's 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.
