A condenser on a galvanised stand on a rendered terrace, with masts in the harbour below

Air Conditioning in Port d’Andratx

The houses above the harbour are cut into rock on plots that step steeply towards the water, and the few level surfaces they have tend to be the ones with the view. That puts equipment in the most exposed positions on the property, which is a corrosion problem and a placement problem at the same time. Say what there is to stand equipment on and we send the request on.

A condenser in a dark recess of a low rendered building, dry scrub and open water behind it

The only place it fits is the worst place for it

On a rock plot there is no digging a discreet plant area into a bank and no spare corner behind a garage. What exists is a terrace, a roof, or a narrow ledge, and all three are open to the water. So the position that is physically available is usually also the one taking the most salt and the most wind.

That has consequences worth planning for rather than discovering. Fixings need to be specified for the exposure and not taken off the standard list. The unit needs to be raised and mounted so that water drains away from it rather than sitting under it. And it needs to be reachable for the frequent rinsing this coast requires, which rules out positions that can only be got at with a ladder over a drop.

The other constraint is fixing into rock at all. Brackets that would be bolted into blockwork elsewhere have to be resolved differently here, and it is one of the reasons a local company prices this work more accurately than a company from the other side of the island.

What a harbour-side installation has to solve

  • A position that is level, load-bearing and not a terrace in use
  • Fixings specified for full exposure rather than the standard set
  • Mounting that keeps the unit clear of standing water
  • Safe access for servicing, on a plot that steps steeply
  • Pipe routes across or around rock rather than through it
  • Noise, since neighbouring terraces are often directly below or above

Can the outdoor unit be hidden from the terrace?

Usually, and the constraint is airflow rather than appearance. A louvred screen with genuine clearance around the unit works. A solid enclosure built to make it disappear makes the machine hotter, louder and shorter lived, which is the commonest expensive mistake on plots like these.

How often should equipment be rinsed here?

Considerably more often than inland, and it is the single cheapest thing an owner on this coast can do. It has to be fresh water, the power has to be off, and it should be a gentle flow rather than a pressure washer, which flattens the fins it is meant to clean.

Does fixing into rock cost more?

It usually does, and it is worth having in the quote rather than found on the day. It is also one of the reasons a company that works this stretch of coast prices the job more accurately than one that has only seen photographs of it.
