Air conditioning in Muro,
next to s'Albufera.
We're Joaquín and Juan. The municipality of Muro runs from the village to Platja de Muro, with the s'Albufera Natural Park in between. Village houses, flats and beach accommodation: in all of them, humidity rules. We're a RITE-registered installer and F-gas certified. We don't subcontract anyone.

Muro: the humidity of s'Albufera
AEMET has a station inside s'Albufera: Muro-S'Albufera, at 2 m, right in the wetland; its data is on aemet.es. Between the wetland and the sea, Muro’s summer is muggy, and an air conditioner here works as much at taking water out of the air as at cooling it.
Village houses
In the village there are many two-storey houses with a flat roof or courtyard. The outdoor unit goes on the roof, on supports that keep it off the floor and out of rainwater; the indoor unit on the wall that best throws air towards the room’s door.
Platja de Muro: hotels and holiday flats
In accommodation the units are bigger and the RITE is stricter: 12 to 70 kW, inspection every year, and above 70 kW, every month (IT 3, table 3.1). In flats with a community of owners, before fixing an outdoor unit, the Horizontal Property Act (art. 7.1).
Condensate: where many installations fail
With so much humidity, a split draws a lot of water. The drain needs a fall, a trap if it goes into a downpipe and an outlet that doesn’t wet the façade or the neighbour’s balcony. An overflowing tray or a pipe sloping the wrong way is the drip that ends up inside.
Where the savings are
Dehumidifying saves too
Dry before cold
The RITE takes 45-60% as the indoor design humidity for summer. With dry air you’re comfortable at the setpoint IDAE recommends, 26 °C or higher, and every degree lower you don’t ask for is around 7% of consumption saved. The splits’ “Dry” mode does exactly that: it cools a little and removes water.
The gas in new units
A new wall split, for example the General ASEH09KJCAL, uses R32, with a global warming potential of 675 according to Annex I of Regulation (EU) 2024/573. That regulation bans placing on the market, from 2025, single split systems under 3 kg with gas of GWP 750 or more, and from 2029 air-to-air splits up to 12 kW with gas of GWP 150 or more, unless safety requires it.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions about air conditioning in Muro
Why is the indoor unit of my air conditioning dripping in Muro?
It is almost always the condensate drain: a pipe sloping the wrong way, a dirty tray or a blocked trap. With the local humidity the unit draws a lot of water and any fault shows straight away. The tray and drain are cleaned and the fall corrected.
I have holiday flats in Platja de Muro: what servicing does the law require?
The RITE (IT 3, table 3.1) sets the minimum by output and use: for non-residential use, up to 12 kW every 2 years, 12 to 70 kW every year and above 70 kW every month. If the manufacturer asks for more, you follow the manufacturer. Refrigerant, always by certified staff (Royal Decree 115/2017).
A dehumidifier or the air conditioning?
Air conditioning already dehumidifies while cooling and has “Dry” mode for muggy days without much heat. In Palma average relative humidity in July and August is 62-65% (AEMET, airport, 1981-2010), and next to s'Albufera you feel it more; the RITE aims for 45-60% indoors.
My unit is old: can I keep using it under the new gas rules?
Yes. The bans in Regulation (EU) 2024/573 apply to selling new units: yours can keep running and be repaired, and article 11 allows, under conditions, the sale of parts to repair it. If it loses gas, the leak is repaired before recharging.
Can the outdoor unit go on a flat’s balcony?
If the balcony allows it and the community doesn’t forbid it, yes: on brackets, away from bedroom windows and with the drain piped away. The Horizontal Property Act (art. 7.1) requires telling the community’s representative first.
Do you speak German with owners who live abroad?
Yes, German, English and Spanish, and we reply within 24-48 hours on working days. With photos of the rooms and of where the outdoor unit would go we send an itemised quote.
