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.
