We carry out insulation work in Provençals del Poblenou. We visit the property, assess the job, provide a clear price, and then start. The Mediterranean climate of the Costa Blanca is perfect for 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 it to provide 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 each kilowatt of electricity consumed.

How we work

It begins with calculating the thermal loads of the property, sizing the equipment according to actual needs, choosing between radiators only, underfloor heating only, or a combination, planning space for the domestic hot water tank and outdoor unit, and a fixed quote. 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 domestic hot water tank of approximately 200 litres for showers and taps. It solves everything in a single unit, ideal for chalets and large homes. Its payback period compared to a traditional gas + air system is 8 to 12 years in the local climate.

When to call for insulation in Provençals del Poblenou

This is a very specific pattern in the area. Interior solid wood doors, especially those in 1980s-1990s blocks, swell and contract with seasonal humidity changes. In summer, when there is high humidity and high temperature, the wood absorbs water from the air and expands. The door stops closing properly, rubs against the top frame or the side, and forcing it closed only worsens the hinge. In winter, when humidity drops and dry westerly winds come in, the wood contracts. The door closes well but there is a visible gap between the door and frame, allowing air and noise to pass through. This is the natural cycle of wood and can only be avoided in two ways: either replace it with an MDF or multi-layered door that does not move, or learn to live with it and adjust the hinges as needed. Traditional knob hinges, those found on old construction doors, are not adjustable. If the door rubs, wood must be planed down or hinges replaced with modern adjustable models. Planing wood is the usual solution when the problem is seasonal. We remove 1-2 mm from the rubbing area, seal the cut, and the door closes again.

Materials and brands

Official manufacturer's warranty (5-7 years) plus our coverage on labour. For more modern windows with tilt-and-turn profiles and thermal break, the fittings are of better quality but also require maintenance. Lubricating the hinges and adjusting the closing points every 2-3 years significantly extends their lifespan and prevents air from entering in winter or them becoming too difficult to open. 30 days on the repair. Somfy motors with official manufacturer's 5-year warranty.

Frequently asked questions

Can a door be adjusted without removing wood?
If the hinges are modern adjustable ones, yes. If they are old non-adjustable ones, we need to shave off 1-2 mm or replace them with adjustable models.
How long does it take to fix a roller blind?
Cleaning and lubricating guides: 30-45 min per blind. Changing the tape: an extra 30-45 min if the box is normally accessible.
Why does air come through a closed window?
Misaligned seals or degraded gaskets. We adjust plates and replace gaskets if necessary. This improves insulation and reduces your bill.
Do you work with modern tilt-and-turn windows?
Yes, we adjust the tilt-and-turn system, lubricate fittings, and replace handles or parts if they are damaged. We recommend maintenance every 2-3 years.
Can a door that swells in summer be permanently fixed?
Only by replacing it with a MDF or multi-layered door that does not move. A solid wood door will always have this seasonal cycle even if varnished.
