Air Conditioning in Costa d’en Blanes
The houses here tend to be built over several half levels following the slope, and warm air does what warm air does. The top of the house is a different climate from the bottom of it before anybody installs anything, and a system that treats the whole property as one space will always be right somewhere and wrong somewhere else. Say which levels are uncomfortable and we pass that description on.

The house is already zoned. The controls usually are not
In a stepped house, heat rises through the open stair and collects at the highest occupied level, which is very often where the bedrooms are. The lowest level, part buried into the slope, stays cool without help and sometimes stays cool when nobody wants it to. Those are two different requirements in one building.
The commonest arrangement is one thermostat somewhere in the middle. It satisfies itself in a space that is neither the warmest nor the coolest part of the house, switches the system off, and leaves the top level warm and the bottom one cold. Nothing about that is a fault in the equipment.
The fix is control rather than capacity. Separate zones per level, each with its own sensor in a representative place, and the recognition that the lowest level may need heating in winter while the top one needs cooling in summer.
What a stepped house tends to need
- A zone per level rather than one setting for the house
- Sensors placed where people actually are, not in the stairwell
- Recognition that the lowest level is a heating question, not a cooling one
- Capacity concentrated at the top where the heat collects
- Attention to how much air moves up the open stair
- Controls simple enough that whoever uses the house will use them

Why is the top floor always warmer?
Because warm air rises and an open stair is an excellent route for it. In a stepped house that effect is stronger than in a house on one level, and it means the upper rooms carry a load that has arrived from the rest of the building as well as through their own walls and glass.
Can one system handle the whole house?
One system can, provided it is zoned. What does not work is one system on one thermostat, because there is no single place in a stepped house that represents the whole of it. The equipment matters less here than where the sensors go and how the zones are drawn.
Does the lowest level need anything at all?
Often it needs heating rather than cooling. A level cut into the slope stays cool in August, which is welcome, and cool and damp in February, which is not. That is a different question from the rest of the house and it is worth raising at the survey.
