Professional Installation
Done Right from Day One
Installing air conditioning is not just about mounting the unit on the wall. It requires a dedicated electrical circuit with the correct cable size, independent protections in the consumer unit (cuadro eléctrico) and sufficient contracted power from your electricity supplier.
Correct sizing is essential: a unit that is too small will struggle to cool the room, while an oversized one will use more energy than necessary. We calculate the exact BTU capacity needed based on room size, orientation and insulation.
What is included in our installation?
- BTU calculation and system sizing for your property
- Installation of indoor and outdoor units
- Dedicated electrical circuit and connection
- Refrigerant line and condensate drain installation
- Independent electrical protections (MCB and RCD)
- Commissioning and performance testing
- Walkthrough of controls and programming
Maintenance and Repairs
Preventive Maintenance
If you have moved to Málaga from the UK or Northern Europe, you may not be used to relying on air conditioning. But with summer temperatures regularly exceeding 35°C on the Costa del Sol, your AC unit works hard. Regular servicing extends its life, reduces your electricity bill and prevents costly breakdowns.
- Filter cleaning and indoor unit sanitisation
- Outdoor unit cleaning and inspection
- Refrigerant gas check and top-up if needed
- Temperature and pressure testing
- Electrical connection inspection
- Leak detection
Common Repairs
One of the most frequent issues we see is the air conditioning tripping the electricity. This can be caused by a current leak, insufficient contracted power or a problem with the electrical wiring.

- AC not cooling properly
- Refrigerant gas leaks
- Unusual noises from the unit
- AC tripping the electricity
- Thermostat or remote control problems
- Water leaks and drainage issues
Energy Efficiency
Keep Your Electricity Bills Down
Air conditioning can account for up to 40% of your electricity bill during the Málaga summer. Choosing the right unit and keeping it well maintained makes a significant difference, especially given Spain's electricity prices.
- Inverter technology (up to 30% less energy consumption)
- A++ energy rating or higher
- Correct sizing — not more or less capacity than needed
- Regular servicing for peak efficiency
- Smart thermostats and programming
Combine with Solar Panels
Air conditioning and solar panels are the perfect combination on the Costa del Sol: your AC uses the most energy when the sun is at its strongest, which is exactly when your solar panels produce the most electricity.
Installing solar panels can cover a large portion of your air conditioning consumption, dramatically reducing your electricity bill. Many of our customers combine both installations.
