Air conditioning in Porreres, for houses with many rooms
Houses in Porreres tend to be large: several floors, high ceilings, many rooms. Putting a split in each one fills the back yard with units. We fit multi-splits and ducted units that solve it with fewer outdoor units, as well as splits where they fit. We are Joaquín and Juan, a RITE-registered installer also certified for F-gases: we don't subcontract anyone.

What a house in Porreres needs
Porreres sits at around 130 metres, between the Pla and the Migjorn. On PVGIS data (ERA5 reanalysis, 2011-2020), mean August maximums are around 31 °C. In a three-storey house, the heat builds up at the top.
One outdoor unit for several rooms
A multi-split connects several indoor units to a single outdoor unit: fewer machines in the back yard or on the flat roof. It has a limit on the metres of pipe between the outdoor unit and each indoor one, which the manufacturer sets and which we check against your house.
High ceilings
With ceilings over three metres, the cold air falls and the warm air stays up top. Where the unit is put and which way it blows matter more than raising the output.
Fincas and seasonal houses
In a house that is opened now and then, each zone has its own controller: what is in use gets cooled. With wifi, it is switched on from your phone before you arrive.

Where the saving is in a Porreres house
The saving starts with not cooling what isn't in use: a large house is air-conditioned by zones. And it continues with the unit: we fit inverters because they modulate instead of starting and stopping. As a manufacturer's example, the General ASEH09KJCAL declares a SEER of 9.2. We work with every brand.
IDAE recommends 26 °C in summer and reckons around 7% for each degree. The output of each indoor unit is calculated from its room's thermal loads, as the RITE requires; in a multi-split, moreover, the outdoor unit is sized for what runs at the same time.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions about air conditioning in Porreres
My Porreres house has three floors: how many units do I need?
Fewer than it seems. A multi-split connects several indoor units to a single outdoor one, and a ducted system air-conditions a whole floor with one machine. We calculate the thermal loads of each room of your Porreres house, as the RITE requires, and see what runs at the same time in order to size the outdoor unit.
What distance limit does a multi-split have?
The one set by the manufacturer of the unit: each model has a maximum pipe length per indoor unit, a total length and a maximum height difference between the outdoor and indoor units. In a village house in Porreres on several floors we check it against the actual route before proposing it, and the installation is legalised under the RITE.
Where does the outdoor unit go in a village house?
In the back yard, on the flat roof or on a rear roof, with open air around it. On the street façade, only if there is no other option and Porreres Town Council allows it. The noise has to comply with the Balearic Noise Act 1/2007.
With high ceilings, is more output needed?
Not always: in a Porreres house with high ceilings what is needed, above all, is to place the unit well. Cold air falls and warm air rises, so in summer it works well and in winter the air has to be directed downwards. The output comes from the room's thermal loads, as the RITE requires, which already take the volume into account.
How hot does it get in Porreres in summer?
According to PVGIS temperature data (ERA5 reanalysis, 2011-2020), mean July and August maximums in Porreres are around 31 °C, and August minimums, around 22 °C. IDAE recommends setting the air to 26 °C: each degree lower means around 7% more consumption.
How often is a multi-split serviced?
Whichever is stricter, the regulations or the unit's manual. The RITE (IT 3.3, table 3.1) sets as a minimum, in homes, a service every 4 years up to 12 kW and every 2 years between 12 and 70 kW, and the manufacturer asks for the filters to be cleaned every few weeks. In a large house in Porreres, a multi-split can exceed 12 kW: we note it in the documents.
