We arrive with a full 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 application for each brand to read error codes stored on the control board. Locate and repair leaks, replace parts, or recharge gas according to the diagnosis. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online – we'll respond in under 10 minutes during business hours.

Between 30 minutes and 2 hours, depending on complexity. A simple fault is identified quickly. Minor leaks or electronic issues may take longer. Fault diagnosis with certified instruments before proposing a repair. When an air conditioner stops cooling as effectively as before, there can be several causes that look similar at first glance. The difference lies in the speed and nature of the failure. If the AC has gradually lost efficiency over months, a slow refrigerant leak is the most likely cause, reducing the available amount in the circuit until it malfunctions. If the AC was cooling normally and suddenly stopped providing cold air overnight, it's usually a large leak, compressor failure, or an electronic board issue. 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 problem between units.

For premium units from recognised brands (Mitsubishi, Daikin, LG) that are 10-12 years old, repair is often still worthwhile because their overall quality justifies extending their lifespan. For basic units that are 7-8 years old, replacement is almost always the reasonable decision. Mitsubishi, Daikin, LG, Toshiba, Samsung, Panasonic, Fujitsu, Hitachi, Hisense, and others. For official brand warranty, we refer you to the brand's authorised service centre. Electronic boards can fail due to power surges, humidity, or component ageing. This is relatively common in areas with thunderstorms, like the interior of La Vega Baja in August. Repair may involve replacing the entire board or, if the specific component is identifiable, replacing a particular capacitor or resistor. It heavily depends on the model and parts availability.

The price for split AC installation in Santa Coloma de Cervelló typically ranges from €148 to €1224 as a guideline. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time, and we always confirm it after reviewing photos or —if you prefer— conducting an on-site assessment, with no obligation. As a general rule, if the repair cost exceeds 60 percent of the price of an equivalent new unit, it's not cost-effective. This is because repairing one expensive component leaves the rest of the unit at its actual age. Other components will start failing soon. Replacing a compressor on a nine-year-old unit for a considerable sum, knowing that the electronics and fans are also ageing, is generally a poor investment. Both. We repair whenever the repair makes economic sense. If it exceeds 60 percent of the price of a new unit, we'll inform you, and you can decide.
