Refrigerant gas leaks from the outdoor unit's fitting, especially in units over 5 years old. Salt spray and thermal expansion/contraction from summer to winter can loosen fittings.

The repair may involve replacing the entire board or, if a specific component is identified, replacing a capacitor or resistor. It depends heavily on the model and parts availability. Worn-out compressor in budget-class units after 6-9 years of intensive use. This is the most expensive fault.

Mitsubishi, Daikin, LG, Toshiba, Samsung, Panasonic, Fujitsu, Hitachi, Hisense, and others. For official warranty service, we refer you to the brand's authorised service centre. Common parts (remote controls, capacitors, sensors) are usually in stock. Electronic boards and compressors are ordered and arrive within 2-7 days depending on the brand and model. For premium units from recognised brands (Mitsubishi, Daikin, LG) that are 10-12 years old, repair often still makes sense because their overall quality justifies extending their lifespan. For basic units that are 7-8 years old, replacement is almost always the more sensible decision.
The price for split AC installation in El Carmel typically ranges between €148 and €1224. 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, board failures requiring module replacement start to appear. The decision between repairing it or replacing the unit depends on the cost of the part versus the price of a comparable new unit.
