Air Conditioning in Illetes
The sea is close enough here that salt is on everything all year, and an outdoor unit is a machine made of thin metal fins with a fan pulling that air through it continuously. Equipment lasts a different length of time on this coast than it does two kilometres inland. Say how close to the water the property sits and we pass that on too.

What salt actually does to a system
It attacks the coil. The fins are aluminium, thin by design so that heat moves through them quickly, and salt corrodes them from the surface inwards. A corroded coil rejects heat badly long before it looks damaged, so the first symptom is not a failure, it is a system working harder for the same cooling and costing more to run.
It also reaches the parts nobody looks at. Fixings, brackets, fan bearings and electrical connections all suffer, and a bracket that has been quietly rusting on a seafront balcony for eight years is a safety question rather than an efficiency one.
None of that is a reason to install less. It is a reason to specify for the location and to wash the outdoor coil far more often than an inland property needs, which is the single cheapest thing an owner on this coast can do.
What is worth doing on a seafront property
- Ask whether coated or coastal-specification coils are available for the equipment
- Stainless or properly treated brackets and fixings, not the standard set
- A position out of direct spray and away from the prevailing wind where possible
- Rinsing the outdoor coil with fresh water far more often than inland
- Servicing that actually inspects the fins rather than washing the casing
- Checking bracket condition as part of every visit, not once in ten years

Does equipment really wear out faster near the sea?
Yes, and the difference is large enough to plan around. The coil is the part that suffers, and because a corroded coil loses efficiency gradually rather than failing outright, the cost usually appears on the electricity bill before it appears as a fault.
Can I wash the outdoor unit myself?
Rinsing the fins gently with fresh water, with the power isolated, does real good and is worth doing several times a year here. What is not worth doing is aiming a pressure washer at them, because the fins bend flat and a flattened fin blocks the airflow the unit depends on.
Is there equipment made for coastal use?
Manufacturers offer treated or coated coils and better fixings for exactly this, and on a seafront property it is worth asking whether the quoted equipment is that version. It is the kind of item that quietly separates two prices that otherwise look identical.
