What to Expect During a Professional AC Installation

Learn the step-by-step process of how our technicians install your new climate control system cleanly, safely, and efficiently.

The Peace of Mind of Hiring True Professionals

Deciding to buy a new climate control system is just the first step. The quality of the installation is what truly determines whether your investment will last 15 years running flawlessly or if it will give you constant headaches. At AirPro Marbella, we understand that letting technicians into your home requires trust. That is why we have standardized a rigorous, clean, and transparent installation process. Here we explain exactly what to expect on the day of your air conditioning installation in Mijas or anywhere on the Costa del Sol.

1. Initial Assessment and Space Preparation

Everything starts long before a drill is turned on. Our certified technicians arrive at the agreed time and inspect the work area. We review electrical connection points, drains, and the optimal location for the outdoor unit. Immediately after, we proceed to protect your home: we cover furniture, floors, and valuables with plastic sheeting and protective blankets. We pride ourselves on leaving your house exactly as clean as we found it.

2. Drilling and Line Routing (The Dirty Work, Done Cleanly)

To connect the indoor unit with the outdoor unit, a hole must be drilled through the wall. We use drills with integrated vacuum systems to minimize dust. Next, we run the copper refrigerant pipes, interconnecting wiring, and the drain tube, wrapping everything in aesthetic trunking so the visual impact is minimal and the finish is professional.

3. Refrigerant Connections and the Crucial Vacuum Test

This is the step where technical expertise shines. After flaring and connecting the copper pipes to both machines, we perform a fundamental process: vacuuming the system. Using a specialized vacuum pump, we extract all air and moisture from the pipes. This guarantees that the refrigerant gas is not contaminated, ensuring maximum energy efficiency and preventing serious compressor breakdowns in the long run. Many unqualified installers skip this step; for us, it is non-negotiable.

4. Commissioning, Smart Home Setup, and Final Cleanup

Once the circuit is sealed and the gas released, we turn on the equipment and measure pressures, temperature drops, and electrical consumption to ensure 100% performance. After confirming that the unit cools and heats perfectly, we gather all our tools, clean the area, and remove the packaging for proper recycling.

5. Customer Education: Getting the Most Out of Your Equipment

Before we leave, we don't just hand you the remote control. We explain in detail how to use advanced features, how to clean the basic filters to maintain good indoor air quality, and we help you connect the equipment to your home's Wi-Fi network so you can control it from your phone (smart home automation). We explain the best settings to maximize your savings on your electricity bill.
