For properties that are vacant from October to March, the inspection also includes technical closure. We close the water stopcocks if there is no risk of frost, which is rare on the coast. We purge the water heater if the property will be unused for more than three months. We empty the air conditioning trays and turn them off. And we check smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, if present. Call us, message us on WhatsApp or request your quote online — we respond within 10 minutes during business hours.

If it's between five and eight years old, it depends. If the fault is the heating element and the rest of the appliance is in good condition, repair it. If there is a leak in the tank or an internal weld, replace it, because the leak will soon reappear elsewhere. Almost no one knows it exists, but it's the part that adds the most to the water heater's lifespan. It's a magnesium rod inside the tank that attracts corrosion to itself instead of letting it attack the tank walls. It consumes itself over time. When it's completely spent, corrosion starts to eat away at the tank, and from then on, every year counts. We replace them every four or five years in hard water areas. Reasonable cost and easily extends the appliance's life by ten more years. The water takes longer to heat than in the first year. It comes out hotter initially and then cools quickly. You notice abnormally high electricity consumption on your bill. There are kettle-like noises, indicating bubbling at the bottom of the tank due to sediment. The water comes out slightly cloudy for the first few seconds. Any of these symptoms justifies a check.

As a professional installation with an invoice, the manufacturer honours its official warranty (2-5 years depending on brand). We add a 30-day warranty on our labour. Oversizing penalises your electricity bill because the appliance spends more keeping a volume hot that you never use. Undersizing leads to cold showers at the end of the family's morning routine. We calculate the need before suggesting a model. 30 days on labour and the manufacturer’s official warranty on the installed appliance.

The price for water heaters and boilers in El Carmel typically ranges between €59 and €420. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials used, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting any work. For holiday apartments or small properties without a gas connection, an electric water heater is the only reasonable option. For villas or homes with natural gas available, the choice between a larger capacity electric unit and a combi gas boiler depends on family consumption and the current price of gas versus electricity. Scheduled maintenance costs are always lower than the accumulated cost of reactive emergencies. The data from our own clients confirms this year after year.
