Seafront L'Olla and Cap Negret
Apartments facing the pebble beaches of L'Olla and Cap Negret get sea breeze and salt all year. We fit units with anti-corrosion protection and place the outdoor unit out of the worst of the wind.
Mascarat and Altea Hills
Cliff-top villas in Mascarat and homes in Altea Hills have big terraces, large glazing and lots of sun. Zoned ducted air or a heat pump is the norm here, with phone control for owners who spend months away.
The old town
In the cobbled streets of the upper town, the facade comes first. We hide the outdoor unit on a roof or in a courtyard and use slim, discreet wall units.
How quiet should it be?
A good indoor unit runs at about 20–25 dB in night mode, quieter than a whisper, and the outdoor unit at about 45–50 dB at a metre. In the villas of Altea Hills and Mascarat, where the terrace is living space, we site the unit away from bedrooms and the neighbour's pool.
What we're asked for most
In Altea, the jobs we're asked for most are ducted air conditioning, split installation and servicing and cleaning, though we handle the full range.
Frequently asked questions
Can you install in Altea old town without the unit showing?
We nearly always find a spot on the roof or in an inner courtyard. We assess it at the survey.
I have a villa in Altea Hills and I'm away for months. Can I control the air con remotely?
Yes. With a wifi module you can switch it on before you arrive and keep an eye on the temperature while you're away.
What protection does a seafront unit in Altea need?
We specify an outdoor coil with anti-corrosion coating, stainless steel fixings, and a fresh-water rinse of the outdoor unit at every service.
