Air Conditioning Costa Blanca, Spain

Hola, Below is a few of our previous frequently asked questions, if you have a question you would like us to answer please contact us on our quick contact form on the right side of this page.

Although some of the graphics we have scanned in from other sources the written content of this page has taken time to collaborate with our engineers, if you see the same written content on other AC websites please beware of inferior and possibly unknowledgable companies.

Things to look out for:

AC technology is changing all the time, so when you receive a quote from any company, it may be a good idea to ask for the model numbers. This will ensure you have the latest models available so that manufacturing warranties and parts are readily available in case something goes wrong. Always agree and discuss, exactly where and how you would like your units fitted. For example the easiest option is not always the neatest.

What is an inverter?

One of the most common mis-conceptions is that an Inverter means that it is a Hot and Cold unit, this is not correct. An Inverter is a power conversion circuit which can regulate the voltage, current and frequency of a device. The Inverter circuit in an Air conditioner controls the revolutions of the Compressor, therefore its output. Raising the frequency increases the output, lowering the frequency reduces it. With the unit working in this way the Inverter models provide much finer temperature control than conventional models.

What are the advantages of an Inverter?

Firstly, it provides the exact amount of power it needs to rapidly heat or cool the room, therefore it reaches the desired temperature in about a quarter of the time of a conventional unit. Secondly, after reaching the set temperature, it finely adjusts the output power to maintain a constant temperature which means there are no uncomfortable temperature swings, even if the number of people in the room changes. Thirdly, and probably most importantly, although the Inverter models reach temperature in a quarter of the time and can easily hold a constant temperature it is also extremely more energy efficient than a conventional model, therefore keeping electricity consumption to a minimum, resulting in lower energy bills.

Is a Grade A conventional machine as Economical as a grade A Inverter?

Any Energy Grade A machine is economical to run, however it is technically impossible for a conventional compressor to run more efficiently than an Inverter compressor. This is due to the Inverter having the technology to regulate its own running speed and power.

As we are also offering Reverse Osmosis systems for an ubeatable price at the moment we thought we should explain exactly what it is. We have had some competitors trying to put the RO system down on their website, I hope to answer any of the questions or concerns that may have arisen due to their uneducated statements.

What is Reverse Osmosis?

The Reverse Osmosis Process uses a semi-permeable membrane to seperate and remove dissolved solids, organics, pyrogens, submicron colloidal matter, viruses and bacteria from water.

The Process is called "reverse" Osmosis since it requires pressure to force pure water across a membrane, leaving the impurities behind. Reverse Osmosis is capable of removing 95-99% of the total dissolved solids (TDS) and 99% of all bacteria, thus providing safe, pure, drinkable water.

To state that the water makes the water too pure to drink and is equal to distilled water is absolutely absurd. The water provided by the RO system is usually prescribed to patients with heart, kidney and liver problems as it is the best water you can possibly drink for your body.

Obvioulsy there is a wastage ratio as it is impossible to completely change every drop of your tap water in to pure drinking water. However the ratio is not as high as a Reverse Osmosis machine which you would find on an aquarium, which I am guessing most people are relating this process to.

The higher your water pressure the lower the ratio of wastage, If your water pressure is not quite up to the job, we can offer the option of a small, silent pump which can be attached to the RO system absolutely free.

The system can be turned off while your away to preserve your filters and stop all concerns of any leaks while your not there, However providing the system is installed by qualified people there will be no chance of any leaks.

The RO system we offer is made in the USA and is certified by ISO.

What is TDS? (Total Dissolved Solids)

TDS affects everything that consumes, lives in or uses water, from fish and plants to plumbing and laboratories. For people however , the lower the TDS level in the water you drink, the more efficiently your body cells are hydrated. The higher the TDS level in the water, the greater the probability of harmful contaminants that can pose health risks or hinder the absorption of water. The U.S EPA´s Maximum Contaminant Levels of TDS for human consumption is 500ppm.

e.g. Your tap water before an installation of the Reverse Osmosis system will read anything from 520ppm and above. After the installation you will get a reading of anything between 20-80ppm. (Beware: Two part filtration systems will not alter your TDS only alter Chlorine levels and taste).
