Year-Round Homes · Old Town Houses · Seafront Flats · Heat Pumps
Most homes in Villajoyosa are lived in all year, so a system has to cool in August and warm a chilly room in January. We install, service and repair air conditioning here, with a free quotation.
Villajoyosa is not a resort that closes in winter. Families live here throughout the year, which changes what people ask of air conditioning. Instead of a unit used for a fortnight each summer, it may run for months, so quiet operation, sensible controls and reliability count for more than a long feature list.
The housing is varied. Tall seafront houses and apartments stand close to the water, old-town streets hold narrow townhouses with thick walls, and villas sit on the urbanisations inland. Each has a different layout, different places where an outdoor unit can go and different ways of staying cool.
Our firm has been active along this coast since 1999. We supply recognised brands and recommend a system from what we see in the property, not from whatever is on a shelf. You decide how much to do, and we put the options in writing so you can compare them.
Old town
In the old streets the challenge is rarely the indoor unit. It is finding a place for the outdoor one. There may be no balcony, a shared roof or a facade that the neighbours and the town hall care about. We look at the options at the survey and say whether the town hall may need to be asked first.
Thick walls keep rooms cool for longer, which is a help, but they also make pipe runs harder. We plan routes that avoid cutting through anything decorative and cover pipework neatly. Pipes can be hidden inside a cupboard or behind a cornice, and the indoor unit chosen for a slim profile.
Because such houses are often tall and narrow, one multi-split serving several floors can be tidier than separate machines in every room. It means one drain, one outdoor machine and far less visible work on the front of the building.
Running costs
A reverse-cycle heat pump cools in summer and gives heat in winter from the same unit. For people living here all year, that can replace a portable heater that is awkward to move and an uncomfortable draught to sit in.
Efficiency depends on the house as much as the machine. A well-sealed room with shutters closed in the afternoon asks less of the system than one with the sun pouring in. We talk through these habits when we hand over, as they affect comfort and the electricity bill.
We do not promise particular savings, but inverter models generally adjust their output to the demand, which tends to be quieter and steadier than older fixed-speed units. You can also set a schedule, so a room is already pleasant when you walk in from the street.
Seafront and inland
Seafront apartments mean a balcony or terrace unit within reach of salt air. Positioning it where spray is limited, fixing it firmly and cleaning it when serviced helps it last. Check the building's rules on outdoor units before you decide.
Villas on the inland urbanisations usually have room for outdoor units at ground level and often benefit from a multi-split or ducted system, especially if the house has several bedrooms facing different ways. Ducted systems hide the equipment in a ceiling void, but need space above and a tidy plan, so we say early if a house cannot take one.
Whichever you own, a service before the hot weather starts is the simplest way to avoid a breakdown during a heatwave, when engineers are hardest to book. Book it early in spring; once the first heat arrives, engineers everywhere are busy.
How it works
We begin with a conversation about the rooms, how you use them and what is not working now. A visit lets us measure, check where pipes and the outdoor unit can go and look at the electrics. A written quotation follows.
After you accept, we agree dates and carry out the installation or repair, test the system and show you the controls. The property is left tidy. Our work carries a guarantee, and the quotation states its scope. Ask us anything first.
Questions
Usually, yes. The main question is where the outdoor unit goes. We look at the building at the survey, plan neat pipe routes and mention if the town hall may want to be asked first.
For the mild coastal winters it often is, especially in a well-sealed room. It depends on the size of the space and its insulation, and we advise honestly at the survey. We also measure the room to choose a unit of the right capacity.
Once a year before the hot season is a sensible habit, and more often if the unit runs most of the year. Servicing covers filters, coils and drainage. Servicing keeps drains clear, which is the usual cause of leaks.
Yes. We remove the old unit, check the pipework and drain, and fit a new one sized for the room. If existing pipes are unsuitable we say so before quoting. We confirm the timing in the quotation so you know what to expect.
Across the area
We install and service air conditioning in several other towns along this coast and in the hills behind it. Their pages describe how the right system changes with the type of home and where it stands.

Tell us the type of property, which rooms you want cooled or heated and whether you live here all year. Photographs of the wall where the outdoor unit might go save time.
A visit follows, then a written quotation, which costs nothing. You decide whether to go ahead, with no pressure either way. Ask any questions before deciding; we are happy to explain our reasoning.
