Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We perform cleaning and maintenance in Les Tres Torres. We visit the property, assess the work, give you a clear price, and then start. The most concerning aspect isn't the smell itself, but what it indicates. The volatile compounds produced by growing microorganisms are respiratory irritants and, in sensitive individuals or those with allergies, can cause headaches, nasal congestion, throat irritation, and worsen asthma. Children and the elderly are particularly susceptible. What you breathe every time the air conditioner is on is air passed through the colonised coil.

How we work

Yes, we use certified products for domestic air conditioning. They are non-toxic, leaving no chemical residue in the air after rinsing and drying. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online – we'll respond in under 10 minutes during business hours. The next step is cleaning the coil, the component with thousands of thin fins where the refrigerant circulates. We apply a specific descaling product for air conditioning, letting it act for 15-20 minutes depending on the level of dirt. We rinse with moderately pressured water, protecting the rest of the unit with plastic sheeting to prevent water from entering unintended areas. Correct technique requires experience: excessive pressure can bend the fins and reduce efficiency, while too little pressure won't remove the dirt effectively.

When to call for cleaning and maintenance in Les Tres Torres

This is one of the most common problems with domestic air conditioning on the Costa Blanca, and few people know why it happens. When you turn on the air conditioning after winter or after several weeks of non-use, an unpleasant musty, mouldy, or organic smell emerges that lingers in the room for hours. The cause is biological. The indoor coil of the air conditioner condenses moisture every time the unit cools. This constant moisture, combined with organic dust entering through the filters and the moderate indoor temperature when the unit is off, creates the perfect environment for bacterial and fungal colonies to grow. Air conditioners on the Costa Blanca accumulate dirt significantly faster than in dry inland regions. Three factors combine. Firstly, the average relative humidity in coastal areas is 70-75 percent for a large part of the year, meaning the coil is constantly exposed to condensation. Secondly, Saharan dust arriving each summer leaves a thin but sticky layer that adheres to the fins and traps other contaminants. Thirdly, sea air with suspended particles laden with salts contributes extra organic matter to the filter. After a deep sanitisation, the noticeable effects are immediate. The unpleasant odour disappears from the first use. The unit recovers between 10 and 25 percent of its original cooling performance (as a clean coil transfers heat more effectively). Electricity consumption decreases proportionally to the recovered performance. And respiratory symptoms in sensitive individuals are clearly reduced or disappear entirely.

Materials and brands

2-3 hours per standard indoor unit. For multi-split systems, add 1-2 hours per extra unit. We use protective materials to avoid making a mess. 5-7 years manufacturer's warranty depending on the brand (Daikin, Mitsubishi, Bosch, Vaillant). Plus our 30-day labour guarantee and recommended annual check-ups. Electronic board failure due to power surges, moisture, or component aging. This is relatively common in areas with electrical storms, such as the Vega Baja interior in August. Repair may involve replacing the entire board or, if identifiable, replacing a specific capacitor or resistor. It depends heavily on the model and parts availability.

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. Measured real-world performance is excellent.
How much does it reduce the bill?
Compared to direct electric heating: 50-65 percent. Compared to natural gas: 25-35 percent. Compared to butane: 40-50 percent. It depends on the insulation.
Is there significant work involved in installing an aerothermal system?
For aerothermal systems with existing radiators, minimal work is needed. To combine with underfloor heating in a full renovation, major work is required. Reversible air-to-air systems are installed like classic split units.
Is it cost-effective for a small holiday flat?
Generally no. The initial investment is high, and sporadic use doesn't allow for payback. For a main residence or frequent use, yes.
What is the equipment warranty?
5-7 years manufacturer's warranty depending on the brand (Daikin, Mitsubishi, Bosch, Vaillant). Plus our 30-day labour guarantee and recommended annual check-ups.
