A condenser bracketed to a rendered wall in a narrow cobbled lane between old stone houses

Air Conditioning in Calvià

Calvià covers two kinds of building that behave in opposite ways. Inland there is village stone with thick walls and small openings; towards the coast there is lighter resort construction with a great deal of glass. A system that suits one is usually the wrong answer for the other, so the first useful question here is which of the two you have. Say what the walls are made of and we hand the request on.

Heavy and light are different problems

A thick stone house takes a long time to warm and just as long to cool, so it rides through a hot afternoon and then stays warm well into the night. It responds slowly to anything, which means it rewards a system that holds a temperature and punishes one that is switched on when the room is already uncomfortable. It is also genuinely cold in January, because that same mass has been cooling for weeks.

A light coastal house is the reverse. It gains heat quickly through glass and thin walls, and it loses it again overnight. It responds well to a system that can bring a room down fast, and it rarely needs much winter heating because it warms as readily as it overheats.

The mistake is applying the same reasoning to both. A schedule that works in a stone village house leaves a glazed apartment behind on a hot afternoon, and a fast intermittent schedule in a stone house never quite catches up with the walls.

Which one is your property

  1. 01

    How thick are the walls

    A deep window reveal is the giveaway. If the wall is half a metre, the building is a store of temperature rather than a barrier to it.

  2. 02

    How much glass is there

    Large sliding doors and windows on more than one side mean the load arrives fast and the answer is capacity in those rooms.

  3. 03

    How does it behave overnight

    A house that is still warm at midnight is heavy. One that is comfortable by eleven and cold by six is light.

  4. 04

    Is it used in winter

    Heavy houses are cold in January in a way light ones are not, and that turns the conversation from cooling to heating.

My village house is cold in winter. Is that normal?

For thick stone, yes, and it surprises people who bought for the summer. The mass that keeps the house tolerable in August has been losing heat since November, and warming the air inside it does very little while the walls and floors are still cold. That is the argument that leads most of these houses towards a floor system.

Can the same company handle both kinds of property?

Many do, and the useful test is whether they ask about the construction before they talk about equipment. A survey that starts with the wall thickness and the glazing is one that has noticed which of the two buildings it is standing in.
