For properties that are empty from October to March, the service also includes a technical shutdown. We close the water main valves if there's no risk of frost, which is rare on the coast. We drain the water heater if the property is unused for over three months. We empty the air conditioning drip trays and leave them in the 'off' state. We also check smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, if present. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online – we'll respond in under 10 minutes during business hours.

Additionally, we perform a visual check of walls and ceilings for damp spots, new cracks, or signs of leaks that may have appeared during the low season. In coastal areas, we conduct a specific inspection of balconies and exterior terraces for corrosion on railings, deterioration of external tiling, and the condition of drains to prevent flooding during heavy autumn rains. In Catral, with long summers and temperatures well over 35 degrees Celsius, having reliable air conditioning is not a luxury but a daily necessity. The proximity to the La Mata and Torrevieja lagoons adds humidity to the air, requiring adequately sized and frequently serviced units to operate efficiently without increasing electricity bills. Manitas connects Catral residents with verified technicians who work in the area, understand the local climate, and are familiar with the specific characteristics of homes in the town centre and Las Lagunas. Before any work begins, you will receive a written quote detailing labour, materials, and VAT. If any unforeseen issues arise during the repair, we will inform you, and will only proceed once you approve.

Our network includes active F-Gas certified technicians, which is the sole legal requirement for handling refrigerant gas in Spain. This is not just a minor detail. If someone installs or repairs your air conditioning without certification, the manufacturer's warranty is void, and a regional inspection could result in a fine for the property owner. This is the typical summer trap. They offer to install the air conditioning for €200 less because an electrician or plumber friend does it. Without F-Gas certification. The installation might work for the first year, but if there's a gas leak, you won't be able to claim against the manufacturer. The initial gas charge with an electronic scale, vacuuming to -700 mbar, and leak testing are mandatory. Without them, the unit's lifespan is halved. Yes, it is mandatory in Spain for any installation or repair that involves handling refrigerant gas. Without this certification, the equipment will not be covered by the manufacturer's warranty, and the installation may be deemed illegal.

The price for split unit installation in Rubí typically ranges from €148 to €1,224. The final cost depends on the property's condition, materials used, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. The cost of scheduled maintenance is always less than the cumulative cost of reactive emergencies. The data we have from our own clients confirms this year after year. Yes, we offer an annual contract with two scheduled visits plus urgent response throughout the year at a preferential rate.
