Locating and repairing leaks, replacing parts, or recharging gas based on diagnosis. 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. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll reply in under 10 minutes during business hours.

Fault location using certified instruments before proposing a repair. When an air conditioner stops cooling as it used to, there can be several causes that initially seem similar. The difference lies in the speed and manner of the failure. If the unit has gradually lost efficiency over months, it's most likely a slow gas leak that has reduced the available charge in the system, causing it to malfunction. If the unit was cooling normally and suddenly stopped producing cold air overnight, it's usually a large leak, compressor failure, or a problem with the electronic board. If it starts but stops after a few minutes with an error message on the remote, it could be the thermostat, a temperature sensor, or a communication issue between units. Gas leak at the outdoor unit's connection, especially in units over 5 years old. Salt spray and thermal expansion/contraction from summer/winter loosen the fittings. A small leak gradually reduces the charge, and the unit cools less effectively each season. The repair involves detection with a professional gas detector, replacing the fitting or re-soldering the copper pipe, vacuuming, and a new charge.

Failed electronic board due to power surges, humidity, or component aging. It's relatively common in areas with electrical storms, like the interior of Vega Baja in August. The repair might involve replacing the entire board or, if identifiable, replacing the specific capacitor or resistor. It depends heavily on the model and parts availability. Mitsubishi, Daikin, LG, Toshiba, Samsung, Panasonic, Fujitsu, Hitachi, Hisense, and others. For official warranty, we refer customers to the brand's authorised service centre. Common components (remotes, capacitors, sensors) yes. Electronic boards and compressors are ordered and arrive in 2-7 days depending on the brand and model.

The price for split system installation in El Poblenou typically ranges between €148 and €1224. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. Older models without inverter technology start and stop abruptly at maximum power, which stresses the compressor more. Modern inverter models modulate smoothly and last longer. Their electronics are more sensitive, and from the seventh or eighth year onwards, board failures start to appear, requiring the replacement of the entire module. The difference between repairing it or replacing the unit depends on the cost of the part versus the price of an equivalent new unit. Worn-out compressor in economy-range units with 6-9 years of intensive use. This is the most expensive breakdown. Replacing the compressor costs a significant portion of a new unit's price, and it's only worthwhile for premium units with a reasonable residual lifespan. For basic units, we usually recommend replacement.
