So you do not find out in August that it will not cool
Air conditioning check
The air conditioning gets tested before the first hot day
A unit that has sat idle all winter may start without trouble, or without gas, with a blocked drain or a remote with flat batteries. In August, an installer takes a while. We test it beforehand, room by room, and tell you what needs a call and what does not.

What you get
- Every indoor unit switched on in cooling and heating, with the outlet temperature noted.
- The washable filters of each split taken out, washed, dried and put back.
- The condensate drain checked: a tray that overflows ends up as a stain.
- The outdoor unit looked at: leaves, nests, unusual noise, brackets and visible connections.
- Error codes and remote batteries photographed, and sorted if that is all it is.
- A report with photos and, if something does not work, the alert so the installer you choose can come.
Why this matters now
Most faults in an air conditioner that has been idle are small and show up in ten minutes of running. The problem is not the fault: it is finding it on the day you arrive in forty degrees, when every installer on the coast is fully booked. Tested in May or October, it gets fixed without a rush.
What this service is NOT
We are not installers. Handling refrigerant gas is reserved by law to certified professionals (Royal Decree 115/2017), and so are repairs: we tell you, send you the photos, and the installer you choose invoices you directly. Ours is what the owner would do if they were here: switch on, look, clean the filters and warn you.

Questions about this service
How many units are included?
All of them in the property. A house with four splits and one with a single unit pay the same; what costs is the trip, not the unit.
Do you do the mandatory installation inspection?
No. The inspections that the rules require for certain installations, and any work involving the gas, are done by a licensed company. We do the user check, the one that avoids surprises, and tell you when you need to call one.
And if I have an air-source heat pump for hot water?
We check that it starts, shows no error and heats the tank, with photos of the display. Technical maintenance remains the installer's job.
