The cost of running an air conditioning system in Spain is dependent on the price of electricity, which as of July 2022, stands above €200 per MWh. According to the Spanish government, a renowned rate comparer, the cost of operating an air conditioning unit is approximately €0.45 per hour during peak times. Peak times are generally on weekdays between 10 am to 2 pm and 6 pm to 10 pm. 

It’s worth noting that the cost of running an air conditioning unit has seen a slight increase from 2021 when it cost €0.33 cents per hour. However, it’s crucial to remember that these costs can be influenced by factors such as the efficiency of your air conditioner, the size of the room, and how the unit is used. 

To keep your running costs low, we recommend regular maintenance services to ensure that your air conditioning system operates at its highest efficiency, and using your air conditioning more during off-peak times when electricity rates are lower.

At Solare Energies, we recommend a routine service of your air conditioning system at least once per year. Annual servicing ensures that your unit is operating at its highest possible efficiency and reduces the risk of an unexpected breakdown. Consistent, scheduled servicing can help in spotting and rectifying potential issues early, saving you from potential inconvenience and larger repair bills in the future.

Our comprehensive AC maintenance service includes several crucial tasks. We start by inspecting the entire unit for any potential issues, which includes checking all internal components, examining for leaks, and ensuring all electrical connections are secure. The service also involves cleaning the system thoroughly, replacing air filters, and checking the refrigerant levels. Our professional technicians also verify that the system controls and thermostat are functioning correctly and will provide recommendations on how to optimize the performance of your unit.

AC system might need servicing if you notice any abnormal signs. These could include less effective cooling, unusual noises, a sudden increase in your energy bills, or unpleasant odours emanating from the unit. Sometimes, the system might frequently cycle on and off, which could indicate a potential problem. Even if the signs aren’t obvious, we recommend routine annual maintenance to ensure that your AC system continues to function at peak efficiency.

Regular AC maintenance is essential for the health and longevity of your system. Failing to maintain your AC system can lead to decreased efficiency, causing the system to work harder and consume more energy, leading to higher utility bills. Over time, this can also result in significant wear and tear on the components of your AC system, potentially resulting in costly repairs or even the need for a complete system replacement.

Yes, it is necessary. Regular AC servicing is like a health check for your system. Even if your AC seems to be working perfectly, there could be underlying issues that aren’t immediately noticeable. These minor issues can gradually escalate into major problems that could compromise the efficiency of your system or lead to its breakdown. Regular servicing ensures these potential issues are caught and rectified early, thereby extending the lifespan of your unit.

There are certain simple maintenance tasks for portable units that homeowners can undertake, such as cleaning or replacing the air filters regularly and ensuring that the outdoor unit is clean and clear of any debris. However, for more technical tasks like checking the refrigerant level, inspecting electrical connections, and comprehensive system checks, we recommend engaging professional services. Our skilled technicians at Solare Energies are well-equipped to perform these tasks safely and effectively.

Some of the common signs of a faulty AC system include insufficient cooling, inconsistent temperatures, unusual noises or odours, water leaks around the unit, and a sudden spike in your energy bills. If the system frequently switches on and off or fails to turn on at all, these are also clear signs of a problem. It’s important to call in professionals at the first sign of trouble to prevent small issues from escalating into major problems.

Regular servicing can significantly improve the efficiency of your AC unit. A well-maintained AC unit operates at peak performance, cooling your home more effectively and consuming less energy in the process. Servicing also ensures that all components of the system are in good working condition, preventing the system from overworking and reducing unnecessary energy consumption. Regular servicing can ultimately lead to lower energy bills and a more comfortable living environment.

A typical AC maintenance appointment with Solare Energies usually lasts about one to two hours. However, the duration of annual service can vary depending on the specific air conditioners used and complexity of your system. We always strive to conduct our services thoroughly and efficiently, ensuring minimal disruption to your day.

The cost of AC servicing can vary based on different factors such as the type of your system, its age, and the specific servicing tasks required. At Solare Energies, we strive to provide competitive pricing while maintaining the highest quality of service. We recommend contacting us directly for the most accurate estimate tailored by a professional company and to your specific needs.

Regular maintenance plays a crucial role in prolonging the lifespan of your AC system. Maintenance tasks such as replacing air filters, cleaning the condenser coils, checking, and correcting refrigerant levels, and ensuring all electrical connections are secure, can significantly enhance your system’s performance and durability. Regular check-ups also help in detecting and addressing potential issues early, preventing major damages that can lead to the premature failure of your system.

Absolutely! Regular servicing can help your AC system run more efficiently, and an efficient system uses less energy. Servicing ensures that all parts of the system are working properly, which reduces the system’s need to work harder and consume more energy. So, in addition to keeping your home at a comfortable temperature, regular servicing can also lead to lower energy bills.

Ideally, it’s best to get your AC serviced in the spring before the peak cooling season starts. This ensures that your system is in optimal condition to handle the demands of the hot summer months. However, it’s never the wrong time for a service if your AC is due for one, and at Solare Energies, we’re ready to assist you all year round.

Even if your AC system is new, it’s still a good idea to have it serviced regularly. A new system may run smoothly in the beginning, but over time, dust and dirt can accumulate and minor issues may develop. Regular servicing helps to keep your new AC system in top shape, maximizes its efficiency, and prolongs its lifespan.
