Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll reply in under 10 minutes during business hours. We arrive with a full set of instruments. Gauges for pressure, contact and infrared thermometers, electronic gas leak detector, multimeter, and clamp meter for electrical measurements. We also bring the specific brand diagnostic software to read error codes stored on the control board. The diagnosis begins with a brief interview with the client about when the problem started, how it manifests, and if anything extraordinary happened beforehand (storm, equipment moved, impact). It continues with a visual inspection looking for oil stains indicating leaks, visible mechanical damage, or accumulated dirt. Then, electrical measurements and refrigerant system analysis with gauges. Once the cause is identified, we provide a fixed quote for the repair, compared with the cost of a new unit if the breakdown is major.

The recharge itself, 30-45 minutes. But first, the leak must be located and repaired. Without repair, the refrigerant escapes just as quickly and it's illegal. Between 30 minutes and 2 hours depending on complexity. A simple fault is identified quickly. Small leaks or electronic issues may require more time. Indoor fan blocked by accumulated dirt or worn bearings. When the fan doesn't spin at the correct speed, air doesn't circulate properly over the coil, and the cooling sensation in the room is significantly reduced even though the unit is running.

Mitsubishi, Daikin, LG, Toshiba, Samsung, Panasonic, Fujitsu, Hitachi, Hisense, and others. For official warranty, we refer you to the brand's authorised service centre. Common components (remote controls, capacitors, sensors) yes. Electronic control boards and compressors are ordered and arrive in 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 is usually still worthwhile because the overall quality justifies extending the lifespan. For basic units that are 7-8 years old, replacement is almost always the sensible decision.

The price for split AC installation in La Sagrera typically ranges between €148 and €1224. The final figure 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 percent of the price of a new unit, we will inform you so you can decide. As a general rule, if the repair cost exceeds 60 percent of the cost of an equivalent new unit, it is not worthwhile. The reason is that repairing an expensive component leaves the rest of the unit at its actual age. Other components will start to fail soon. Replacing the compressor on a nine-year-old unit for a significant amount, knowing that the electronics and fans are also ageing, is generally a poor investment.
