AC not cooling — Madrid, Madrid
When your air conditioner runs but fails to cool, the problem could be a refrigerant leak, a dirty filter, a frozen evaporator coil, or a malfunctioning compressor. An HVAC technician can diagnose the issue, recharge refrigerant if needed, and restore comfortable temperatures.
Waarom dit veel voorkomt in Madrid
Madrid's continental climate demands both: substantial winter heating for sub-zero nights and increasingly powerful summer AC for 40 °C+ heat, so many homes run dual systems that double the maintenance burden. F-Gas certified technicians are required for refrigerant work, and demand splits into an autumn heating-prep peak and a late-spring cooling-install rush, with installer waits at both.
