Air Conditioning Installation in Odivelas

In Odivelas we work both in flats on the newer estates and in houses in Famões, Caneças and the Ramada, many of them built on a slope. In those houses the outdoor unit almost always ends up in the same place: on the roof, or up against the parapet.

About our service in Odivelas

Putting an outdoor unit on the roof solves two problems at once — it frees up the façade and moves the noise away from the windows — but it has to be executed properly. On an accessible terrace we mount on feet or on an anti-vibration base that does not pierce the waterproofing membrane; a mechanical fixing driven through a roof in a hurry is a leak waiting for the first winter. On a pitched roof the equipment sits on a frame bearing on the purlins, or is fixed to the parapet with a profile sized for the weight and for the wind, which at the heights of Caneças and Famões is not a small matter. We also check that the parapet is sound before loading anything onto it, because in older building stock there are copings that will not take it. Next comes the pipe route, which in these houses is far longer than in a flat. From the roof down to the living room or the bedrooms you cross floors, and every extra metre has to be counted in the sizing, with continuous insulation along the whole run and the correct fall on the condensate line. We use stairwells, service ducts, lofts and garages wherever they exist; when the route really has to go outside, we fit proper trunking set to the line of the elevation, rather than bare pipe clipped wherever it lands. On the newer estates of Odivelas centro, the Pontinha and the Póvoa de Santo Adrião the picture is different and simpler: technical positions already allowed for, balconies with room to work in and owners' associations with clear rules. There the job is about sizing room by room and choosing between several separate splits and a single multi-split. In both cases we hand the installation over tested in cooling and in heating, and explain the controller to whoever will be using it day to day. In a two-storey house we also check whether the staircase acts as a chimney for warm air, which changes the output needed upstairs, and we leave you the pressure test record at the end.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions about air conditioning in Odivelas:

Does putting the machine on the roof cause leaks?

Only if the fixing is done carelessly. On a terrace we use feet or a base that does not pierce the waterproofing; on a pitched roof we bear on a frame of our own or fix to the parapet, once we have confirmed it will take the weight and the wind.

How do you cost an installation in a house?

By the rooms to be treated and the output each one needs, the metres of pipework between the roof and each indoor unit, the route available, the type of fixing required outside and the access conditions. We carry out a site visit and present a no-obligation quote.

Does the pipework have to show on the façade?

We avoid it whenever there is an alternative: stairwell, service duct, loft or garage. Where an external route is unavoidable, we fit trunking aligned with the elevation and in a matching colour, which looks tidy and protects the pipe insulation.
