We carry out unit relocation in El Poblenou. We visit the property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and start. It's one of the most common problems in domestic air conditioning on the Costa Blanca, and almost no one knows why it happens. When you turn on the air conditioning after winter or after several weeks of non-use, a musty, mouldy, or unpleasant organic smell emerges and 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 permanent 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.

When to call for unit relocation in El Poblenou

The most concerning aspect isn't the smell itself, but what it indicates. The volatile compounds produced by these growing microorganisms are respiratory irritants and, for 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 the air that has passed through the colonised coil. Air conditioning units in 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% for a large part of the year, keeping the coil 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 airborne particles laden with salts contributes extra organic material to the filter. After a deep sanitisation, the noticeable effects are immediate. The unpleasant smell disappears from the first use. The unit recovers between 10% and 25% of its original cooling performance (because a clean coil transfers heat better). Electricity consumption decreases proportionally to the recovered performance. And respiratory symptoms in sensitive individuals are clearly reduced or disappear.

Materials and brands

2-3 hours per standard indoor unit. For multi-splits, add 1-2 hours per extra unit. We use protective materials to avoid stains. The second most common service is electrical maintenance in industrial estates. Replacement of main distribution boards in warehouses, installation of LED lighting in offices and production areas, maintenance of three-phase electrical installations for small and medium machinery. For specific heavy machinery, we coordinate with the manufacturer's specialised technical service. The typical residential client is a Spanish resident from a working or middle-class background. The typical industrial client is an owner or manager of a small or medium-sized enterprise, with professional judgment to assess the technical quality of the work and high demands on deadlines. We adapt the service according to the context.

Frequently asked questions

Deep clean or annual maintenance?
Annual maintenance includes standard filter cleaning and technical check. Deep sanitisation involves full disassembly and certified disinfection. We recommend annual maintenance plus deep sanitisation every 18-24 months.
Is it dangerous for allergy sufferers to breathe dirty air?
Air passes through a colonised coil and carries spores and volatile organic compounds that irritate the airways. For allergy or asthma sufferers, more frequent cleaning is recommended.
How long does sanitisation take?
2-3 hours per standard indoor unit. For multi-splits, add 1-2 hours per extra unit. We use protective materials to avoid stains.
Are the products safe for homes with children?
Yes, we use certified products for domestic air conditioning. They are non-toxic, leaving no chemical residues in the air after rinsing and drying.
Does it improve unit performance?
Yes, clearly. Typical recovery of original cooling performance is 10-25%. Higher in very neglected units, lower in those already receiving regular maintenance.
