Air Conditioning in Santa Ponsa
A lot of the housing here went up quickly and was glazed generously, which was a good decision for the view and an expensive one for the afternoon. In these properties most of the heat arrives through the glass, and a system sized on floor area will spend August removing something that could partly have been stopped at the window. Say which windows the sun reaches and the request goes on from there.

Glass is where the load comes from
A square metre of unshaded glass facing the afternoon sun admits many times the heat of a square metre of wall beside it. That is why two rooms of identical size in the same house can be completely different problems, and why a specification based on square metres will be comfortable in one and hopeless in the other.
It also means the cheapest capacity in the building is shade. External shutters, an awning, a pergola or a deep overhang stop the heat before it is inside, and heat stopped outside never has to be removed by a machine that costs money to run. Internal blinds help far less, because by then the energy is already in the room.
None of this replaces a system. It changes how large the system needs to be and how hard it works, which is a running cost decision as much as an installation one, and it is worth raising with whoever surveys the property.
What the survey should be looking at here
- Which direction the large windows face, and at what time they are hit
- Whether there is any external shading, or only internal blinds
- Whether the glazing is single, and whether replacing it is on the table
- Sliding doors onto terraces that stand open through the evening
- Rooms with glass on two sides, which are usually the worst in the house
- How much of the roof is exposed above the rooms that suffer

Why is one room so much worse than the others?
Almost always the glass and the direction it faces. A room with a large window taking the afternoon sun is receiving several times the heat of a similar room facing the other way, and no amount of capacity elsewhere in the house helps it. The room has to be assessed on its own.
Is external shading worth doing as well?
It is the cheapest capacity available. Stopping heat outside the glass means it never enters the room, so the system runs less and for shorter periods. Internal blinds are much less effective, because the energy is already inside by the time they intercept it.
Should the whole property be conditioned?
In these houses usually not. The load is concentrated in the glazed rooms facing the sun, and solving those properly is a better use of a budget than spreading capacity into rooms that are already tolerable.
