Air conditioning installation in Marbella

Split, multi-split and ducted systems for villas, apartments, shops and restaurants. We size every system by calculation, fit it in one or two days and leave you with the warranty and the paperwork in order.

Which system suits your property

Split
One indoor unit on the wall and one outdoor unit. The right choice for a bedroom, an office or a living room, and the quickest to fit.
Multi-split
Up to five indoor units on a single outdoor unit. Useful where the community limits how many units can go on the façade or the terrace.
Ducted
A concealed unit above a false ceiling that feeds each room through grilles, with zoning so every room has its own thermostat. The usual choice for villas, and for renovations where the ceilings are coming down anyway.
Cassette and floor units
For shops, restaurants and offices, sized for doors that open all day and kitchens that add their own heat.

How we size a system

A unit that is too small runs flat out and never catches up. One that is too big switches on and off all day, leaves the room clammy and wears out early.

We calculate the load for each room from its size, glazing, orientation and insulation, then add a margin for the days when the hot wind blows from inland. In a west-facing living room with floor-to-ceiling glass, that sum looks very different from a rule of thumb per square metre.

What installation day looks like

Two engineers, dust sheets down and a core drill with extraction for the wall. The copper pipework is pressure-tested with nitrogen and vacuumed before any refrigerant is released. Outdoor units go on anti-vibration mounts, with stainless fixings near the sea.

Condensate drains are run with a proper fall or a pump. A dripping drain is the most common fault we are called to fix on other people’s installations.

Paperwork, done properly

In Spain, air conditioning has to be installed by a registered company with certified technicians, under the RITE regulations. We provide the installation certificate, register the system when its size requires it and activate the manufacturer’s warranty in your name.

If your community of owners wants a drawing or a noise figure before it approves the outdoor unit, we prepare that too.

Questions people ask

How long does installation take?

A single split takes half a day to a day. A multi-split with three or four indoor units takes two days. Ducted systems take two to four days, depending on the ceiling work.

Can you replace an old unit and keep the existing pipes?

Sometimes. If the pipes are the right diameter and in good condition, and the old system ran on R410A or R32, we can flush and reuse them. Pipework from an old R22 system usually has to go, because the oil left inside contaminates the new unit.

Where can the outdoor unit go?

Somewhere with free airflow, shade if possible, access for servicing and a route for the drain: a terrace, a flat roof or a wall bracket. In apartment blocks the community’s statutes often decide it for you.

Will it be noisy?

A modern inverter unit runs at around 19 to 25 decibels indoors on low speed, which is quieter than a whisper. Outdoor units are louder, so we place them away from bedrooms and neighbours’ windows and mount them on rubber feet.
