We handle equipment relocation in El Raval. We visit your property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and start. 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% for most 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 pollutants. Thirdly, sea air with suspended salt particles contributes extra organic matter to the filter.

How we work

We clean the condensate tray and drain separately using a descaling product, as they often accumulate scale. If the drain is partially blocked, we clear it with a flexible hose. Finally, after drying all components, we apply a certified disinfectant for air conditioning systems, which eliminates residual bacteria and fungi without leaving hazardous chemical residues. The next step is cleaning the coil, the part with thousands of thin fins through which the refrigerant circulates. We apply a specific descaling product for air conditioning and let it act for 15-20 minutes depending on the level of dirt. We rinse with water at moderate pressure, protecting the rest of the unit with plastic to prevent water from entering where it shouldn't. The correct technique requires experience: too much pressure bends the fins and reduces performance; too little doesn't remove the dirt. Yes, we use certified products for domestic air conditioning. They are non-toxic and leave no chemical residues in the air after rinsing and drying.

When to call for equipment relocation in El Raval

After a deep sanitisation, noticeable effects appear immediately. The unpleasant odour 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. Respiratory symptoms in sensitive individuals clearly reduce or disappear. It's one of the most common problems with domestic air conditioning on the Costa Blanca, and almost no one knows why it happens. When you turn on the air conditioner after winter or after several weeks of disuse, a musty, mouldy, or unpleasant 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 the 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. What's most concerning isn't the smell, but what it indicates. The volatile compounds produced by these growing microorganisms are respiratory irritants and, in sensitive individuals or those with allergies, can cause headaches, nasal congestion, throat irritation, and asthma exacerbation. Children and the elderly are particularly susceptible. What you breathe every time the air conditioner is on is air that has passed through the colonised coil.

Frequently asked questions

Deep cleaning 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 cleaning every 18-24 months.
Is it dangerous for allergy sufferers to breathe dirty air?
Air passes through a colonised coil, carrying 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 leaving marks.
Safe products for homes with children?
Yes, we use certified products for domestic air conditioning. They are non-toxic and leave no chemical residues in the air after rinsing and drying.
Does it improve equipment performance?
Yes, definitely. Typical recovery of original cooling performance is 10-25%. Higher in very neglected units, lower in those already under regular maintenance.
