Air Conditioning in Andratx
The town houses in the old centre are deep, attached on both sides and built of stone thick enough that they change temperature over days rather than hours. They are pleasant for most of the summer for exactly that reason, and difficult in a long heatwave for the same one. Tell us how the house behaves through a hot week and we pass it on.

A house that changes its mind slowly
For most of the year the lag works in the owner favour. The house is cool at midday because it is still holding the night, and a hot week passes without much complaint. What breaks it is a run of hot days and hot nights together, because then the stone never gets a chance to unload and it arrives at the following week already warm.
The same lag then works against any attempt to fix it quickly. Switching a system on at eight in the evening cools the air in a room whose walls are still radiating, which is why owners of these houses often describe air conditioning as not really working. It is working; it is fighting the building.
What actually suits these houses is running earlier, gently and for longer, so the fabric comes down rather than just the air. That is a controls decision, and it usually costs less to run than a short burst of maximum output in the evening.
What tends to be true of these houses
- Deep plans with rooms that have no external wall at all
- Party walls on both sides, so only two elevations are yours
- Small original openings, which limit both light and any cross draught
- Stairwells that move more air between floors than anything installed
- Very little space outside for plant, and neighbours close to all of it
- Winters that feel colder indoors than the outside temperature suggests

Air conditioning in this house never seems to work. Why?
Usually because it is being asked to cool a room whose walls are still warm. In a thick stone house the fabric holds the temperature, so cooling the air alone gets undone within the hour. Running earlier and for longer at a lower output usually transforms it without any change of equipment.
Where can the outdoor unit go in the old centre?
It is genuinely tight, and the usual answers are a rear elevation, an internal patio or a roof terrace. Neighbours are close on every side, so noise and where the air is blown matter more than they would elsewhere, and both are settled at installation rather than afterwards.
Is heating worth installing here?
If the house is used through the winter, it usually is. A thick stone house that has been cooling since November is cold in a way that visitors find surprising, and warming the air in it is a slow and expensive way to achieve very little.
