AC not cooling — Torrevieja, Valencian Community
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 Torrevieja
Torrevieja's summer temperatures regularly exceed 35°C with high relative humidity from the salt lakes, creating a particularly oppressive combination that makes AC failure critical. Outdoor condenser units on sea-facing or lakeside balconies suffer accelerated corrosion from the saline aerosol. AC filters require cleaning 3–4 times per season due to salt and dust loading.
