Air Conditioning Installation in Alvalade

About our service in Alvalade

In a planned neighbourhood like this, the rear courtyard is the best ally of a well-made installation. Standing the outdoor unit on the ground, on a damped base and in the shade of the trees the neighbourhood has kept, cools it better than a façade wall exposed to the afternoon sun and greatly reduces the sound heard indoors. Against that, the courtyard is common space shared with residents on several floors, so we take the proposal to the building management and agree the position and the pipe route with the people who live there. We also allow for the obvious: a machine at ground level collects leaves, soil and grass cuttings, and needs its grille cleaned more attentively. Much of the work that reaches us on the Avenida da Igreja, in São João de Brito and near the Campo Grande is not a first installation but a replacement. Many flats have units fifteen or twenty years old, with bearing noise, high consumption and a refrigerant that can no longer be recharged. The decision then turns on the existing pipework: if it is in good condition, with intact insulation and a compatible diameter, it can be reused once flushed and tested; if it has run with an older refrigerant and mineral oil, replacing the line is safer than risking contamination of the new compressor. We tell you which case it is before ordering equipment. There is one more use that suits these homes and is rarely discussed: heating. Alvalade blocks are poorly insulated and many residents run electric heaters through the winter. An inverter unit in heating mode works as a heat pump and warms the same room for less consumption, provided it is chosen with that in mind and not only for the summer. We explain the difference, set comfort temperatures and show how to programme the remote, something we go through patiently with people living alone who would rather not fight with menus.
