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 using pressure gauges. Once the cause is identified, we provide a fixed quote for the repair, compared against the cost of new equipment if the fault is significant. We arrive with a complete set of instruments. Pressure gauges, contact and infrared thermometers, electronic gas leak detector, multimeter, and clamp meter for electrical measurements. We also bring the specific diagnostic app for each brand to read error codes stored on the control board.

Commercial installations above a certain power rating (typically 70 kW thermal) require industrial registration and a project signed by an engineer. For medium-sized premises below this threshold, a certificate signed by an authorised installer is sufficient. In any case, equipment must have CE marking and comply with European efficiency directives. The F-Gas regulation also applies and mandates registration of gas charges exceeding certain kilogram limits. Professional calculation considers all these factors and correctly sizes the equipment. The difference in cost between correctly and incorrectly sized equipment may seem significant initially, but the final cost is borne by the customer who visits the shop or restaurant. A poorly air-conditioned premises loses customers in summer when the heat becomes unbearable. For hospitality, where customer comfort directly determines turnover, the right equipment is an investment, not an expense. Certified equipment, installation with certification, 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 centre. For premium brands like Mitsubishi, Daikin, or LG that are 10-12 years old, repair is often still worthwhile because their overall quality justifies extending their lifespan. For basic equipment that is 7-8 years old, replacement is almost always the sensible decision.

The cost for gas recharging in Vilanova i la Geltrú typically ranges between €126 and €1602. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. Both. We repair whenever the repair makes economic sense. If it exceeds 60% of the price of new equipment, we'll tell you and you decide. As a general rule, if the repair cost exceeds 60% of the price of an equivalent new unit, it's not worth it. This is because repairing a major component leaves the rest of the equipment at its original age. Other components will likely start failing soon. Replacing the compressor on a nine-year-old unit for a significant sum, knowing the electronics and fans are also ageing, is generally a poor investment.
