Air conditioning in Mallorca
Split, multi-split, ducted and water-based systems, with data-sheet examples and what the RITE says.
See the full guide →Air conditioning · Santa Margalida
We're Joaquín and Juan. Santa Margalida is an inland village with two coastal settlements, Can Picafort and Son Serra de Marina. We fit and service air conditioning in village houses, rental flats and homes that open only in summer. We're a RITE-registered installer and F-gas certified. We don't subcontract anyone.

Your area
The village is inland; Can Picafort and Son Serra de Marina are on the bay of Alcúdia. There is no AEMET station in the municipality: the nearest are Muro-S'Albufera (2 m), for the coast, and Sineu-Poliesportiu, on the central plain, for inland; their data is on aemet.es. Coast and inland ask for different things, and how the house is used even more so.
A rental flat has many users and many hours of running. A unit with a simple remote, filters that are easy to remove and a service before the season make sense. If the building has a community of owners, the outdoor unit follows the Horizontal Property Act (art. 7.1) and the statutes.
A house shut for months by the sea gathers dust in the filters, humidity and salt on the outdoor unit. Before switching on in June: clean filters, a clear drain and the outdoor coil checked. Refrigerant, if needed, only by certified staff (Royal Decree 115/2017).
In the village houses, the same heat-pump split that cools in August heats in January. If there is a courtyard or yard, the outdoor unit goes there, in the shade and away from the neighbours’ bedrooms.
Where the savings are
SEER is seasonal cooling efficiency: how many kWh of cooling the unit delivers per kWh of electricity, calculated under the standard over a whole season. For example, the General ASEH09KJCAL declares a SEER of 9.2, class A+++. The higher it is, the less it uses for the same cooling; what you pay also depends on hours and setpoint.
26 °C or higher in summer: each degree lower is around 7% more consumption. In a rental flat, leaving the recommended setpoint on the remote and a note with IDAE’s tips —shutters down in the sunny hours— saves more than any gadget.
How we work
Send us photos of each room, of where the outdoor unit would go and of the fuse box. We size the unit with a heat-load calculation, as the RITE requires, and send you an itemised quote; if we need to see it, we come.
We fit it ourselves, under our F-gas certification: vacuum, leak test, condensate drain and commissioning. No subcontractors.
You get the invoice, the 3-year legal guarantee (arts. 115 quater and 120 TRLGDCU) and the servicing the regulations require or, if the manufacturer asks for more, what the manufacturer asks for.

Common questions
The legal minimum is set by the RITE (IT 3, table 3.1) by output and use, and if the manufacturer asks for more, the manufacturer rules. With guests every week the filters need frequent cleaning: the General ASEH09KJCAL manual, for example, asks for every two weeks. And a check of coil, drain and gas before the season.
Clean filters, a clear condensate drain, no leaves or sand around the outdoor unit and no salt on the coil. If it cools poorly or ice forms on the pipes, it may be short of gas: then the leak is found and fixed before recharging, as Regulation (EU) 2024/573 requires.
Three splits means three outdoor units; a multi-split runs the three indoor units off a single outdoor one, which takes less space on the balcony. We decide after sizing each room from its heat load, as the RITE requires.
The price of an installed split varies with each home; we give you a fixed price from your photos and details. It varies with output, pipe length, access, electrical work and brand; a multi-split depends on the number of rooms. With your photos we send an itemised quote.
It’s the efficiency class on the energy label, which comes from its cooling SEER. For example, a SEER of 9.2 like the one the General ASEH09KJCAL declares is A+++. It’s the manufacturer’s test figure: real consumption depends on hours, setpoint and insulation.
