Air conditioning in Alicante: installation, servicing and repair
Alicante packs half its air conditioning calls into June, July and August, and most are units nobody has opened for three or four summers. A split degrades slowly: first it cools a little less, then it draws a little more, and one Tuesday in July it stops cooling altogether.

Along the Playa de San Juan and Albufereta strip you have to add salt, which corrodes the outdoor coil and takes performance away year after year. With one clean a year the same unit lasts close to twice as long.
Our air conditioning services in Alicante
Split and multi-split installation
Charged by weight, vacuum-pumped and pressure-tested. Technicians hold a valid F-Gas certificate, the only legal way to handle refrigerant in Spain.
Annual servicing
Filters and coil cleaned, pressures checked, condensate trays emptied and the unit disinfected. It prevents most of the big failures.
Repairing units that will not cool
Usually a gas leak or a tired compressor. Diagnosed before quoting, with a clear word if it is not worth repairing.
Heat pumps
Units that serve the summer and the cold days in January, at far better efficiency than an electric radiator.
Cleaning and disinfection
That stale smell on start-up after months idle comes from dust and moisture in the indoor fan. A deep clean sorts it.
Why choose Manitas in Alicante
Access priced into the quote
In the centre you park a long way off and carry everything up narrow stairs. We count that at the survey rather than turning it into an extra on day one.
Vetted professionals
Paperwork, public liability insurance and reviews from previous customers before joining the network. Below 4.2 stars over more than ten jobs and you are out.
Fixed quote after the survey
No figures over the phone. What we sign is what gets invoiced, barring a hidden find we show you in photos before carrying on.
F-Gas certified, not a summer bodge
Without certification the manufacturer's warranty falls away and a gas leak leaves you with no recourse. Our technicians hold theirs in date.

Frequently asked questions
How often does it need servicing?
Once a year, in spring. On the beachfront do not skip it: salt attacks the outdoor coil far sooner than expected.
My community will not allow an outdoor unit on the facade, what are my options?
It depends on the building: an internal courtyard, the roof, or an approved grille where the rules allow one. We go through the statutes with you before you buy the equipment.
How long does an installation take?
A 1×1 split with a short pipe run and accessible outdoor unit takes three to five hours. A multi-split with several indoor units can take a full day or two.
Do you repair older units or only install new ones?
Both, as long as parts exist. If the repair comes to roughly sixty per cent of a new unit we tell you, and you decide.
