Air Conditioning in Costa de la Calma
These are small open plots with little around them: no dense neighbouring building to throw shade, no old trees, and nothing between the house and the sun from the middle of the day onwards. The result is a building that has been absorbing heat for hours before anybody comes home to it. Tell us how exposed the plot is and we pass the description on.

The whole envelope is warm, not just one room
On an exposed plot the roof takes sun for the entire afternoon and the west wall takes it from mid-afternoon until evening. Both then hold that heat and release it inwards for hours, which is why the house here often feels worst at nine in the evening rather than at three.
That behaviour changes what helps. A system that cools air quickly deals with a room that is warm now; it deals much less well with a ceiling and a wall that are still giving heat back at midnight. Insulation at roof level, where it exists, does more for that than any amount of capacity.
It also changes how a system should run. Bringing the house down earlier and holding it, rather than starting from cold at seven, works far better on a building whose fabric is the problem, and that is a scheduling decision rather than an equipment one.
What helps on an exposed plot
- Insulation at roof level, which is where most of the gain arrives
- Shading built rather than planted, since planting takes years here
- Capacity in the rooms under the roof rather than spread evenly
- A schedule that holds the house rather than starting from cold each evening
- Attention to the west side, which stays a problem after sunset
- An outdoor unit that is not itself standing in full afternoon sun

Why is the house hottest in the evening?
Because the roof and the walls have spent the afternoon absorbing heat and are releasing it inwards long after the sun has gone. On an exposed plot with little insulation that lag is hours, which is why the worst part of the day indoors is often after the worst part of the day outside.
Does where the outdoor unit stands matter?
More here than in a shaded spot. A unit in full afternoon sun against a hot wall is trying to reject heat into air that is already hot, so it works harder for less. A shaded position with clear airflow is worth asking for even when it costs a longer pipe run.
