The next step is cleaning the coil, the part with thousands of fine fins where 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. The condensate tray and the drain are cleaned separately with descaling product because they usually accumulate limescale. If the drain is partially blocked, we unblock it with a flexible hose. Finally, after drying all components, we apply a certified disinfectant for air conditioning use that eliminates residual bacteria and fungi without leaving dangerous chemical residues.

The most worrying aspect 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 of asthma. Children and the elderly are particularly sensitive. What you breathe every time the air conditioning is on is air that has passed through the colonised coil. After a deep sanitisation, noticeable effects appear immediately. The unpleasant smell disappears from the first start-up. The unit recovers between 10 and 25 per cent of its original cooling performance (because a clean coil transfers heat better). Electricity consumption decreases in proportion to the recovered performance. And respiratory symptoms in sensitive individuals are clearly reduced or disappear. 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 per cent for much of the year, which keeps the coil constantly exposed to condensation. Second, the Saharan dust that arrives every summer leaves a thin but sticky layer that adheres to the fins and traps other contaminants. Third, the sea air with suspended particles laden with salts provides extra organic material to the filter.

2-3 hours per standard indoor unit. For multi-splits, add 1-2 hours per extra unit. We use protective materials to prevent staining. In Ciudad Quesada and Rojales, where the international community coexists with lifelong residents in areas like Doña Pepa, Benimar, or Ciudad Quesada I and II, a responsive heating system makes a difference during the cold months in the interior of Vega Baja. Although the Costa Blanca is known for its mild climate, January nights can drop below five degrees, and many homes, especially villas and bungalows in residential areas, are not prepared for prolonged cold without a reliable system. 30-day service guarantee. If odours return, we repeat the service at no extra cost.

The price for installation and dismantling in Les Tres Torres typically ranges between €171 and €1575. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. We work with any system: natural gas and oil boilers, radiators, underfloor heating, heat pumps, and smart thermostats. We cover the entire city, from the historic centre next to the Palmeral to more distant areas like Altabix or the rural districts of Elche. It's important to us that the quote is clear before starting, that the technician arrives when promised, and that the job is well-finished. If anything goes wrong afterwards, we fix it without arguments within the guarantee period.
