Air conditioning in Sencelles, with the units out of sight
In Sencelles and its hamlets, Biniali, Ruberts, Jornets and Cas Canar, the houses are stone-built and the fincas have room: the outdoor units can go on a rear terrace or behind a wall, where nobody sees them. We are Joaquín and Juan, a RITE-registered heating and cooling installer, F-gas certified: we don't subcontract anyone.

What a house in Sencelles needs
The Pla is inland: no sea breeze, long hot afternoons in July and August and nights that are slow to cool down. Stone houses hold out for the first few days; once the wall has warmed up, they no longer do.
Fincas with several rooms
In a country house with four or five bedrooms, the practical answer is usually one split per room. The outdoor units are grouped on a terrace or a service yard, lined up and on brackets, and each room is switched on only when it is in use.
Stone walls half a metre thick
Going through a stone wall is not like going through a partition: we look for a way through a window, a cupboard or the roof, and the refrigerant line is run where it shows least. The pipe length and height difference have a maximum set by the manufacturer of each unit.
Village houses in the hamlets
In Biniali, Ruberts or Jornets the streets are narrow and quiet. The outdoor unit goes in the yard or on the roof, away from the neighbour's window, within the limits of the Balearic Noise Act 1/2007.
In numbers
Where the saving is in a house in Sencelles
We fit inverter units because they adjust the compressor's speed instead of starting and stopping: start-ups are what use the most. For example, the General ASEH09KJCAL split declares a SEER of 9.2 on its data sheet. We work with every brand; the model is chosen for efficiency, noise and space.
In a stone house, closing the shutters in the sunny hours and setting the air conditioning to 26 °C, the temperature IDAE recommends, does more than turning the remote down: each degree means around 7%. We calculate the output for each room from its thermal loads, as the RITE requires.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions about air conditioning in Sencelles
I have a finca in Sencelles with five bedrooms: a multi-split or one split per room?
It depends on the distances. A multi-split saves on outdoor units, but each manufacturer limits the pipe length and height difference; in a long country house, one split per room usually works out better, with the outdoor units grouped on a terrace. We decide after calculating the thermal loads of each room, as the RITE requires. On the fincas of Sencelles, where terrace space is plentiful, it is usually the latter.
Where do the outdoor units go in a stone house in Sencelles?
Where they can't be seen from the entrance and don't bother anyone: a rear terrace, a service yard or behind a wall, on anti-vibration mounts. The noise limits are set by the Balearic Noise Act 1/2007. If the house is listed, we first check what the town hall requires.
How much does an installed split cost in Sencelles?
The price of an installed split depends on the output, the metres of pipe, the access, the electrical work and the brand. In a stone house, getting the pipes through is what changes it most. With photos and measurements we reply within 24-48 hours on working days with an itemised quote. On a finca in Sencelles, what moves the price most is the metres of pipe to the outdoor unit.
Can air conditioning heat a country house in winter?
Yes, room by room. A split is an air-to-air heat pump: for example, the General ASEH09KJCAL declares heating operation down to −20 °C outdoors. To heat the whole house and the hot water with a single unit, the right choice is an air-to-water heat pump. IDAE recommends 21 °C in winter. On a finca in Sencelles used at weekends, it is handy for warming the living room quickly.
Do I have to replace my old air conditioner because of the F-gas rules?
No. Regulation (EU) 2024/573 restricts the gases in new equipment, but the unit you already have can go on working and be repaired. The ones we fit today use R32, with a global warming potential of 675. Replacing it pays when the repair isn't worth the money or the saving from an inverter justifies it. In a country house in Sencelles with an old unit, we weigh it up with you.
How often do the splits on a finca in Sencelles need servicing?
As often as the regulations set or, if the manufacturer requires more, as the manufacturer says. The RITE (IT.3, table 3.1) sets a minimum of one service every 4 years in homes for units of up to 12 kW; the filters are cleaned every few weeks in season. On a finca in Sencelles, with dust and pollen, the outdoor units appreciate a clean too.
