When to call for cleaning and maintenance in El Putxet i el Farró

Gas leak at the external unit fitting, especially in units over 5 years old. Salt spray and thermal expansion from summer to winter loosen the fittings. A small leak progressively reduces the refrigerant charge, and the unit cools worse each season. Repair involves detection with a professional gas detector, replacing the fitting or re-soldering the copper, vacuuming, and a new charge. Burned-out compressor 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 units with reasonable remaining lifespan. For basic units, we usually recommend replacement. Failed electronic board due to power surges, moisture, or component ageing. This is relatively common in areas with thunderstorms, like the interior of Vega Baja in August. Repair might involve replacing the entire board or, if identifiable, replacing a specific capacitor or resistor. It depends heavily on the model and parts availability.

Materials and brands

For premium units from recognised brands (Mitsubishi, Daikin, LG) that are 10-12 years old, repair usually still makes sense because the overall quality justifies extending the lifespan. For basic units that are 7-8 years old, replacement is almost always the sensible decision. We arrive with a complete set of instruments. Gauges for pressure, contact and infrared thermometers, electronic gas leak detector, multimeter, and clamp meter for electrical measurements. We also carry the specific diagnostic app for each brand to read error codes stored on the board. Mitsubishi, Daikin, LG, Toshiba, Samsung, Panasonic, Fujitsu, Hitachi, Hisense, and others. For official warranty, we direct you to the brand's authorised service centre.

Indicative price

The price for cleaning and maintenance in El Putxet i el Farró typically ranges between €130 and €1296. The final figure 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 full 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 onwards, board failures start appearing that require replacing 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. Both. We repair whenever the repair makes economic sense. If it exceeds 60 percent of the price of a new unit, we will tell you, and you can decide.

Frequently asked questions

Does aerothermal heating work in a Mediterranean winter?
Yes, perfectly. Minimum temperatures rarely drop below 4 degrees on the coast, and modern heat pumps operate efficiently down to -10. Real-world measured performance is excellent.
How much does it reduce the bill?
When switching from direct electric heating: 50-65 percent. When switching from natural gas: 25-35 percent. When switching from butane: 40-50 percent. Depends on insulation.
Is construction work required to install aerothermal heating?
For aerothermal heating with existing radiators, minimal work is needed. To combine with underfloor heating in a full renovation, major work is required. Reversible air-to-air is a classic split-type installation.
Is it cost-effective for a small holiday flat?
Generally no. The initial investment is high, and sporadic use does not allow for amortization. For a primary residence or frequent use, yes.
Equipment warranty?
5-7 years official manufacturer warranty depending on the brand (Daikin, Mitsubishi, Bosch, Vaillant). Plus our 30-day coverage on labour and recommended annual reviews.
