Air Conditioning Installation in Amadora

In Amadora, the part of an installation that tends to spring surprises is not the pipework: it is the electrics. The 1960s to 1980s housing stock has small consumer units, patched wiring and a tight contracted supply, and air conditioning connected to an already loaded circuit causes trouble.

About our service in Amadora

Before we talk about machines, we open the consumer unit. In flats in the Damaia, the Reboleira, the Venteira or the Brandoa we still find old boards with no room for new breakers, installations with no residual current device or with a single one protecting the whole home, and socket circuits already carrying the fridge, the washing machine and the oven. Connecting equipment with a high starting current there leads to repeated trips that nobody understands and that end up blamed on the new unit. What we do is check the state of the board, the protection in place and the supply available, and say clearly what has to be added before the installation. The technical rule is simple: air conditioning equipment should have its own circuit, with a dedicated breaker and a cable sized for the current and the distance back to the board. In many cases that means pulling a new line, in trunking or along an existing route, from the board to the position of the unit. It is work allowed for in the quote and not at the last minute, and it is also what separates an installation that works for years from one that starts tripping on every hot day. Where the contracted supply is not enough for everything in the home, we explain the situation so you can take it up with your electricity supplier. With the electrics settled, the rest follows the usual course: choosing the outdoor unit position according to the owners' association rules, drilling the wall, running insulated pipework, connecting the condensate, vacuuming the circuit and testing in both modes. In the blocks of the Falagueira, Alfragide and the Casal de São Brás, with exposed elevations and small balconies, we pay particular attention to ventilation clearances and to fixing into cavity walls, where an ordinary plug has nothing solid to grip.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions about air conditioning in Amadora:

Does air conditioning really need a circuit of its own?

Yes. The equipment draws current peaks on starting and, sharing a circuit with appliances, causes the breaker to trip. A dedicated circuit, with its own protection and a correctly sized cable, is what makes operation stable and safe.

How is the quote put together?

It adds up the output and the number of units, the metres of pipework, the type of wall and access to the outside, and the electrical work required: breaker, new cable and any work at the board. We carry out a site visit and present a no-obligation quote with everything set out separately.

Is my contracted supply enough for the unit?

It depends on what the home already has connected and on the output of the equipment chosen. We check on site and, if it is not enough, explain what should be asked of your electricity supplier. We would rather warn you beforehand than leave you with constant trips through the summer.
