Ready for a Cosy Christmas
If you don’t have a log fire in your home on the Costa del Sol, then you’ll be needing to put the heating on this Christmas to get nice and cosy for the celebrations ahead!
Whilst the Costa del Sol might not seem like a place that you’d need to pop the heating on, what many people fail to realise is the lack of central heating in Spanish homes! Most homes on the Costa del Sol are built to be kept cool, so they’re not great at holding heat. To combat this, many people have installed air con units to use in both summer and winter, helping to keep your home nice and cool in the summer, but warm and toasty in the winter.
Winters on the Costa del Sol can feel particularly cold, especially when living right beside the sea or inland, so these types of dual hot/cold air con systems are key to keeping your home warm this winter.
We’ve put together our top tips for this Christmas season to keep your home on the Costa del Sol nice and warm throughout the season’s festivities!
Get your air con checked
If you’ve managed to hold off on putting the heating on so far this winter, then you might find a surprise when you come to switch it on again after the summer. Regular servicing helps to keep your air con in clean, working order all year round. Our preventative maintenance service costs as little as €50 and includes a thermostat check, refrigerant level check, inspection of the lines for any leaks and damage, as well as cleaning all the filters and an air temperature check.
Clean your filters
It’s amazing how much dust can gather in your air con and how much it can affect it if it’s not cleaned regularly! First, determine if your air filter can be cleaned, as some different types of air conditioners have filters that are meant to be disposed of after a certain amount of time. If yours can be washed, simply pop open the face of the unit and retrieve the filter, then gently wash it with warm soapy water. Once it’s thoroughly dry, pop it back in and you’re good to go. If yours can’t be washed, it’s not a problem, just give it a good brush or vacuum through to remove all the dust and debris.
New air conditioning for winter
If you’re wanting to beat the rush and get your air conditioning ready ahead of summer 2023, or perhaps just keep warm for the winter, then just get in touch with us. We work with many different brands, as well as both split wall air conditioning units and ducted air systems. With our wall units, many brands even offer the ability to provide humidity control and ventilation to prevent damp and moisture from building up in your home.

Is Your Air Con Ready For Winter?
Refreshingly cool air is a must during Costa del Sol summers, but is your air con ready for the cooler winter months ahead too?
Is Heating Needed on the Costa del Sol
Famous for its sunshine, the Costa del Sol may not seem like the obvious candidate for heating installation or maintenance in Marbella, Fuengirola, or elsewhere along the Costa del Sol, but as winter approaches, summer temperatures go steadily down and can be quite the change from the blistering heat the area can be known for, especially for those who live in Spain year-round.
Mornings and evenings can be chillier than you realise too, and inland can get particularly colder than you expect, even for areas that are well-known for warm summer days and nights. Having adequate heating, therefore, is an important part of staying comfortable at home or work in Spain this winter.
Preparing Your Air Con For Winter
Like the air con servicing you’ve likely done in preparation for the summer months, preparing your air con for winter is an important step in making sure your home remains at a comfortable temperature and lowering the chances of it requiring serious maintenance or repair later on, saving you time and money -particularly important over the holiday season!
Regular maintenance is the best option for making sure your air con is ready for winter, and putting your trust in a certified air con specialist is the easiest and most beneficial way of ensuring your home, office, or building’s air con is ready for winter. They’ll be able to not only check your air con’s functionality, but its efficiency, too, which can save you expense in repair or replacement costs as well as through significant energy efficiency.
At Cool Services, our preventative air con maintenance includes a number of checks that will ensure your air con works effectively and efficiently through the winter months as well as it did through the summer. For as little as 50€, we’ll check and clean the thermostat, check the refrigerant charge level, inspect the unit’s visible lines for leaks or other damage, clean all the filters, and confirm the air temperature output to double-check all our work. Should you need or want it, we can also take on the repair or installation of air con units to get your home winter ready.
Cool Services have been in business for over 16 years, offering air con maintenance, air con repair, and air con installation for happy clients up and down the Costa del Sol, from Sotogrande to Estepona, San Pedro to Marbella, Fuengirola to Benalmadena, and inland. Our engineers are F-gas certified with ample experience in all kinds, makes, and models of air con units and climate control systems, are well-versed in all the ways to keep it working its best, and are dedicated to customer satisfaction with transparent pricing, attention to detail, and commitment to quality work.
As the autumn approaches, now’s the time to get your air con service appointment booked and ensure your heating is working and running as effectively as possible in time for winter. Give us a call at Cool Services to request a call out for your air con maintenance check and make sure your home is comfortable all season long, no matter what the weather.
