Gas leaks, compressor issues, electronics, and sensors. Repair or replacement as appropriate.

Commercial installations above a certain power threshold (typically 70 kW thermal) require industrial registration and a project signed by an engineer. For medium-sized premises below this threshold, a certificate signed by an authorised installer is sufficient. In all cases, equipment must have CE marking and comply with European efficiency directives. The F-Gas regulation also applies, mandating the registration of gas loads exceeding certain kilograms. For hospitality businesses, obtaining an activity license may require an air conditioning certificate issued by the installer. When we work with a new premises undergoing licensing, we coordinate directly with the municipal inspector to ensure the air conditioning paperwork is ready before the final inspection. Professional calculations consider all these factors and correctly size the equipment. The price difference between correctly and incorrectly sized equipment might seem significant initially. The real cost is ultimately borne by the end customer who visits the shop or restaurant. Poorly air-conditioned premises lose customers in the summer when the heat becomes unbearable. For the hospitality sector, where customer comfort directly impacts turnover, the right equipment is an investment, not an expense.

Failed electronic boards due to power surges, humidity, or component aging. This is relatively common in areas with electrical storms, such as the interior of Vega Baja in August. Repair may involve replacing the entire board or, if identifiable, replacing specific capacitors or resistors. It depends heavily on the model and parts availability. Mitsubishi, Daikin, LG, Toshiba, Samsung, Panasonic, Fujitsu, Hitachi, Hisense, and others. For official warranties, we refer you to the brand's authorised service centre. Common components (remote controls, capacitors, sensors) yes. Electronic boards and compressors need to be ordered and arrive in 2-7 days depending on the brand and model.

The price for cleaning and maintenance in El Poble-sec typically ranges between €130 and €1296. The final figure depends on the condition of the unit, 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 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 to repair or replace the unit depends on the cost of the part versus the price of a comparable new unit. Burned-out compressors in budget-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 is only worthwhile for premium equipment with a reasonable remaining lifespan. For basic units, we usually recommend replacement.
