Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We perform cleaning and maintenance in Porta. We visit the property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and start. After connecting the copper pipes between the indoor and outdoor units, a deep vacuum must be pulled in the refrigeration circuit to remove air and moisture before charging the gas. Without a vacuum, residual air mixed with refrigerant gas reduces the unit's efficiency by 20-30 percent, overheats the compressor, and drastically shortens its lifespan. The correct vacuum is achieved with a specific pump that lowers the pressure to -700 millibars and is held for 30 minutes to verify its seal.

When to call for cleaning and maintenance in Porta

Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, and LG are the three premium brands we install most often. Their inverter technology is very mature, and they consume 40 percent less than older fixed-speed air conditioners to produce the same cooling. Their outdoor noise level is noticeably lower, which is important in communal courtyards where neighbours might complain. Their filters are of better quality and last longer between cleanings. Yes, but we locate the leak first. Topping up without repairing is illegal and only a temporary fix. If there's a leak, we repair it first, then recharge. Certified equipment, installation with official certificate (boletín) and industrial registration where applicable.

Materials and brands

The second detail is the gas charge. The amount must be precisely what the manufacturer specifies for the installed pipe length. A gram more or less won't be noticed immediately, but accumulated over 5 years, it results in performance loss. The charge is always done with an electronic precision scale, not estimated by pressure as some quick installers do. Toshiba, Panasonic, and Fujitsu are a step below in price but not significantly in quality. They are a good option for tighter budgets. More budget-friendly brands like Samsung, Hisense, or basic Hitachi function correctly for the first four or five years, but their efficiency and durability are lower and they tend to require more maintenance. Yes, it is mandatory in Spain for any handling of refrigerant gas. Without it, the manufacturer's warranty is voided, and the installation can be declared illegal.

Frequently asked questions

How long does an annual service take?
Approximately 2 hours for a standard single split system. Multi-splits require an extra 30-45 minutes per indoor unit. Large capacity or ducted units: 3-4 hours.
When is the best time to book?
Between March and May is ideal, before the season starts. October-November, post-season, is also a good time. June-July are fully booked.
What happens if I haven't had maintenance for years?
Likely very dirty filters, biofilm on the coil, mould in the condensate tray, incorrect pressures. The first service will recover a significant portion of the original performance.
Do you replace the gas if it's low?
Yes, but we locate the leak first. Topping up without repairing is illegal and only a temporary fix. If there's a leak, we repair it first, then recharge.
Do you have an annual plan with a discount?
Yes, we offer an annual contract with scheduled visits and priority urgent response during the season. For multiple units or multi-splits, there's an extra discount.
