Air Conditioning in Felanitx and Portocolom
The town is old sandstone and the harbour is a great deal newer, and the difference shows as soon as anything has to be fixed to a wall or run through one. What is routine in one is careful work in the other. Say what the walls are and how old they are, and the request goes on.

Soft stone does not take fixings the way block does
The local sandstone is workable, which is why it was built with, and it is soft enough that a heavy bracket bolted into it the way it would be bolted into concrete is not a reliable fixing. Outdoor units are heavy, they vibrate, and they hang there for years. Getting that right in old stone is a different job from getting it right in a modern wall.
Chasing is the same story. A pipe route cut through soft stone opens more easily than through block and it also weakens more, and the making good afterwards has to match a material that does not accept a cement patch happily. Companies that work with these buildings route around rather than through wherever they can.
Down at the harbour the construction is later and more conventional, so fixings and chases behave predictably. What Portocolom brings instead is exposure to the water and a lot of property that stands empty outside the season.
What differs between the two
- Old town: soft stone that needs fixings chosen for it
- Old town: routes taken around walls rather than through them
- Old town: thick mass, so the cooling load is lower than it looks
- Harbour: conventional construction and predictable fixings
- Harbour: salt air, and equipment that ages faster because of it
- Harbour: a lot of property closed for half the year

Can an outdoor unit be fixed to an old stone wall?
Usually, with the right approach, and it is worth asking how a company intends to do it. Soft stone does not hold a standard fixing under the vibration of a running machine the way blockwork does, and the answers range from a different fixing to standing the unit on the ground rather than hanging it.
Does the old town need less cooling?
Generally yes, because thick stone and small openings keep the load down. What those houses need instead is air movement in the rooms that have no external wall, and often heating in the winter, when the same mass works against the occupants.
