Air conditioning in Mallorca
Splits, multi-splits, ducted systems and hydronic cooling, with how-to and maintenance videos.
See the air-conditioning guide →Air conditioning · Manacor
Most houses in the centre of Manacor are narrow, terraced and two or three storeys high: the challenge is not cooling, it is spreading the cooling without covering the façade in machines. We are Joaquín and Juan, a RITE-registered installer certified for F-gases, and we fit it ourselves: we don't subcontract anyone.

Your area
Manacor town sits inland, about a dozen kilometres from Porto Cristo. That cuts both ways: the outdoor unit is spared the salt of the seafront, but there is no sea breeze in the afternoon, and in winter the interior of the island is usually colder than the coast.
A narrow house with bedrooms upstairs and the living room downstairs needs a set point for each room. A multi-split runs several indoor units from one outdoor unit, usually on the roof terrace or in the back patio: the street façade stays clean.
In a block, the façade and the roof are common elements. Spain's Horizontal Property Act (art. 7.1) says works must not alter the external appearance of the building and the community's representative must be told first: check the statutes before deciding where the outdoor unit goes.
During a renovation we run the refrigerant line and the drain inside partitions or false ceilings. If the house is finished, we look for the shortest, most discreet route to the outdoor unit.
In numbers
We fit inverter units because the compressor doesn't start and stop: it changes speed to match the room, and starts are where the energy goes. For example, the General ASEH09KJCAL wall split modulates in cooling between 0.9 and 3.2 kW and its datasheet declares a SEER of 9.2 (A+++). That is a manufacturer test figure, not a bill: we work with every brand and choose the model with your house in front of us.
Capacity does not come from a table: we calculate it room by room from its thermal loads, as the RITE requires. In a town house the bedroom under the roof, the orientation of the façade and the party walls, which lose no heat to the street, change the numbers a lot.
How we work
Send us photos of the rooms and of the spot for the outdoor unit, with approximate sizes. If we need to see it, we come.
We calculate the thermal loads of each room, as the RITE requires, and send you an itemised quote.
We fit it ourselves: vacuum and leak test of the circuit, drain tested and the unit running, with the 3-year legal guarantee and the manufacturer warranty.
Common questions
In a Manacor town house it depends on how many rooms there are and where the outdoor unit can go. With three or four bedrooms and one good spot (roof terrace or patio), a multi-split avoids filling the façade with machines; if the rooms are at opposite ends of the house, two separate splits sometimes work better. We decide after calculating the thermal loads of each room, as the RITE requires, and measuring the pipe runs.
In a Manacor block, the façade belongs to the community. The Horizontal Property Act (art. 7.1) says works must not alter the external configuration or condition of the building and that the community's representative must be told first. Many communities set in their statutes where outdoor units go (terrace, light well, roof). Ask the administrator; we give you the unit's datasheet with its size and noise level to submit.
Yes, it is an air-to-air heat pump. AEMET's Palma airport series (1981-2010) gives an average January low of 3.8 °C; inland it is usually a little colder than on the coast, but far from the limit of a unit such as the General ASEH09KJCAL, which declares heating operation down to −20 °C. The manufacturer warns that in cold, damp weather the outdoor unit defrosts for up to 15 minutes: that is normal, not a fault.
For a Manacor house, IDAE, Spain's energy agency, puts it at around 7 % per degree. Going from 24 to 26 °C, the summer temperature it recommends, is about two degrees: roughly 14 % less on cooling. In a town house, lowering the blinds in the sunny hours, as IDAE also advises, helps as much as the remote.
No, neither in Manacor nor anywhere else. Regulation (EU) 2024/573 bans placing new equipment with certain gases on the market (since 2025, single split systems with less than 3 kg of gas with a GWP of 750 or more), but the unit you already have can keep running and be repaired, and its article 11 allows, under conditions, the sale of spare parts. Replacing it makes sense when the repair isn't worth it or when the savings of a modern inverter justify it.
The price of an installed split en Manacor depends on capacity, pipe length, access, electrical work and brand; a multi-split or ducted system depends on the number of rooms. We reply within 24-48 hours on working days and, with photos and measurements, send an itemised quote or tell you if we need to see it.

For example DAITSU, Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, General, Fujitsu, Midea, Gree, Panasonic, Samsung, LG, Toshiba or Haier: we choose the model for efficiency, noise and space, not for the badge.
