Air Conditioning in Son Vida
The houses here are large, detached and mostly a few decades old, and a great many of them are still running the system that was put in when they were finished. Since then rooms have been added, terraces glazed and kitchens opened into living rooms, and the machine has been quietly asked for more every year. Tell us what the house is now, not what it was, and we pass it on.

A system that was right once
Undersizing here is rarely a mistake somebody made. It is what happens when a house changes and its system does not. Enclosing a terrace adds a glazed room to the load. Taking out the wall between a kitchen and a living room turns two spaces that were cooled separately into one that needs more air than either unit was chosen to move. Neither shows up until an afternoon in August.
The symptom is characteristic: the system runs continuously, the rooms are almost comfortable, and nothing is technically broken. Owners tend to read that as the equipment wearing out, and it sometimes is, but the more common answer is that the house grew.
It is worth establishing before spending anything. A survey that measures the house as it is today, rather than reading the capacity off the label on the old outdoor unit, is what separates a replacement that solves the problem from one that repeats it with newer equipment.
What usually changed since the system went in
Each of these adds load that nobody added capacity for.
-
01
A terrace was glazed
A shaded outdoor space becomes a hot indoor one, and it is usually on the side with the view, which is usually the side with the sun.
-
02
Walls came out
Open plan means one volume where there were two, and air has to reach across it from wherever the unit happens to be.
-
03
The guest wing became a guest wing
Rooms that were rarely used are now used properly, often by more people than the house was designed around.
-
04
Glazing got larger
Replacement windows here almost always mean more glass, and glass is where the heat arrives.

The system runs all day and the house is still warm. Is it broken?
Possibly, and it is at least as likely to be too small for the house as it now stands. A system running continuously without reaching its setting is behaving exactly as an undersized one does, so the first useful step is a survey of the house as it is rather than a repair to the machine.
Should the replacement match what is there?
Only if the house has not changed, which here it usually has. Matching the old capacity copies a decision made about a different building. The capacity should come from the glazing, the orientation and the way the rooms are used today.
Is it worth zoning a large villa?
On a house of this size it is usually where most of the running cost is decided. Bedrooms, living space and guest accommodation are occupied at different times, and conditioning all of them to suit whichever room the thermostat sits in is the expensive default.
