We do insulation in El Poble-sec. We visit the property, inspect the work, provide a clear price, and get started. The Mediterranean climate of the Costa Blanca perfectly suits a modern heat pump. Mild winters, with minimums between 8 and 16 degrees. Hot summers, but not extreme on the coast. Heat pumps extract energy from the outside air even when it's 4-5 degrees. They use this to produce heating in winter, cooling in summer, and domestic hot water. Their performance is measured by the COP (coefficient of performance), which for a modern pump in this climate is between 3.5 and 4.5. This means it produces 3.5 to 4.5 kilowatts of heat for every kilowatt of electricity consumed.

How we work

The air-to-water heat pump, also called aerothermal, goes one step further. The outdoor unit heats or cools water that circulates through radiators, underfloor heating, or fan coils to air condition the home, and at the same time heats a 200-litre domestic hot water tank for showers and taps. It solves everything with a single unit, ideal for detached houses and large homes. Its payback period compared to a traditional gas + air system is 8 to 12 years in the local climate. A complete aerothermal installation is a serious project. It starts with calculating the thermal loads of the dwelling, sizing the equipment according to real needs, choosing between only radiators, only underfloor heating or a combination, planning space for the DHW tank and outdoor unit, and a fixed price quote.

When to call for insulation in El Poble-sec

This is a common fault in blocks in Torrevieja and surrounding areas. PVC roller blinds with traction straps accumulate dust and debris in the side guides. The strap wears out over the years and sometimes breaks in mid-summer, leaving the blind half-way down. If the strap is intact, the usual procedure is to clean the guides and lubricate the system with a specific product (not common oil, which attracts more dust). We identify the real cause (humidity, settlement, worn hardware) before acting. It's a very specific local pattern. Solid wood interior doors, especially those in blocks from the 80s-90s, swell and contract with seasonal changes in humidity. In summer, when humidity and temperature are high, the wood absorbs water from the air and expands. The door stops closing properly, rubs against the upper frame or side, and forcing it closed only worsens the hinge.

Materials and Brands

Official manufacturer's warranty (5-7 years) plus our labour coverage. For more modern windows with tilt-and-turn profiles and thermal break, the hardware is of better quality but also requires maintenance. Lubricating hinges and adjusting closing points every 2-3 years significantly extends their lifespan and prevents air from entering in winter or them being too difficult to open.

Indicative pricing

The price of insulation in El Poble-sec usually ranges between €208 and €2970. The final figure depends on the condition of the property, materials, and working time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. If it becomes misaligned again within 30 days due to the same cause, we will return at no extra cost.

Frequently asked questions

Can a door be adjusted without planing wood?
If the hinges are modern adjustable ones, yes. If they are old non-adjustable ones, we need to plane 1-2 mm or replace them with adjustable models.
How long does it take to repair a roller blind?
Cleaning and lubricating guides: 30-45 min per blind. Strap replacement: an extra 30-45 min if the box is normally accessible.
Why does air come in through the closed window?
Misaligned latches or degraded seals. We adjust the plates and replace seals if necessary. Improves insulation and reduces bills.
Do you work with modern tilt-and-turn windows?
Yes, we adjust the tilt-and-turn system, lubricate hardware and replace handles or parts if damaged. We recommend maintenance every 2-3 years.
Can a door that swells in summer be permanently fixed?
Only by replacing it with a DM or multi-laminate door that doesn't move. A solid door will always have this seasonal cycle even if varnished.
