We clean the condensate tray and drain separately with a descaling product because they often accumulate limescale. If the drain is partially blocked, we clear it with a flexible hose. Finally, after drying all components, we apply a certified disinfectant product for air conditioning use that eliminates residual bacteria and fungi without leaving dangerous chemical residues. The next step is cleaning the coil, the part with thousands of fine fins through which the refrigerant gas circulates. We apply a specific descaling product for air conditioning, letting it act for 15-20 minutes depending on the degree of dirt. We rinse with moderate pressure water, 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 does not remove the dirt.

Air conditioners on the Costa Blanca accumulate dirt significantly faster than in dry inland regions. Three factors combine. First, the average relative humidity in coastal areas is 70-75 percent for much of the year, which keeps the coil constantly exposed to condensation. Second, Saharan dust that arrives every summer leaves a thin but sticky layer that adheres to the fins and traps other pollutants. Third, the sea air with suspended particles laden with salts brings extra organic material to the filter. The most worrying thing is not the smell but what it indicates. The volatile compounds produced by these microorganisms as they grow are respiratory irritants and, in sensitive individuals or those with allergies, can cause headaches, nasal congestion, throat irritation, and worsening asthma. Children and the elderly are sensitive. What you breathe every time the air conditioning is on is that air passed through the colonised coil. This is one of the most common problems in domestic air conditioning on the Costa Blanca, and almost no one knows why it happens. When you start the air conditioning after winter or after several weeks of disuse, an odour of damp, mould, or something unpleasant and organic emerges and lingers in the room for hours. The cause is biological. The indoor coil of the air conditioning unit condenses moisture every time the unit cools. This permanent moisture, combined with the organic dust that enters through the filters and the moderate indoor temperature of the unit when it is off, creates the perfect environment for colonies of bacteria and fungi to grow.

The most common question clients with damaged furniture ask us is whether it's worth repairing or if it's better to buy new. The answer depends on three factors: the sentimental value of the furniture, the original manufacturing quality, and the cost of repair versus a new equivalent. For IKEA, Conforama, and similar budget-range furniture, where the price of a new table or chair is reasonable, repair rarely makes sense except for very simple, isolated cases. For mid-to-high-end furniture, inherited antiques, or items with sentimental value, repair almost always makes sense. Replacing them with solid wood equivalents is far more expensive, and the original furniture often boasts a manufacturing quality no longer found in new production. 2-3 hours per standard indoor unit. For multi-split systems, add 1-2 hours per extra unit. We use protective materials to prevent stains. Structure and assembly are guaranteed for 30 days. Hinges and fittings come with a 5-year official manufacturer's warranty.

The price for tables and chairs in Porta typically ranges between €33 and €371. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and work time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. 30-day service guarantee. If odours return, we repeat the service free of charge. Broken or loose handles and knobs are a quick fix. Replacing them with new ones of the same style or an updated design can visually transform an entire piece of furniture at a reasonable cost.
