Apartments & Flats
A single split system is often the fastest way to cool one or two rooms in a Valencia apartment without touching shared building services.

Is It Right For You?
Where a Single Split System Makes Sense
A split system is the most common way to add cooling to one room at a time, and it works well in most Valencia properties without structural changes.
Bedrooms
A correctly sized 2.0-2.5kW unit keeps a Valencia bedroom cool through August nights without drying the air or running loud.
Living Rooms & Studios
Larger glazed living rooms usually need a 3.5-5kW unit positioned to spread airflow across the seating area rather than straight at the sofa.

FAQ
Split AC Installation Questions
Straight answers to what Valencia homeowners ask us before booking a split AC installation.
A single split air conditioning installation in Valencia typically costs from EUR 650 to EUR 950 for one indoor and outdoor unit pair, including supply and fitting. The final price depends on the unit's capacity, the length of the refrigerant pipe run, and how easy the wall or ceiling access is, and is always confirmed in a written quote before work starts.
Most single split air conditioning installations in a Valencia apartment or house are completed within a single working day, from mounting the indoor unit through to gas charging and testing. Jobs with a longer pipe run, reinforced concrete walls, or restricted outdoor unit access can take longer and are scoped during the free site survey.
Sizing depends on room area, ceiling height, sun exposure and glazing, but as a guide a small bedroom of around 12-16 square metres usually needs a 2.0-2.5kW (around 9,000 BTU) unit, while a larger or south-facing living room of 25-35 square metres often needs 3.5-5kW (12,000-18,000 BTU). Square Meter Air Conditioning calculates the exact capacity during the free on-site assessment rather than relying on a generic rule of thumb.
The outdoor condenser unit is normally mounted on an exterior wall bracket, a balcony, a terrace, or a ground pad, positioned with clear space around it for airflow and away from bedroom windows where possible to reduce noise. In Valencia apartment buildings, community rules sometimes restrict visible outdoor units, and Square Meter Air Conditioning can advise on compliant placement before installation begins.
Yes, every split air conditioning installation carried out by Square Meter Air Conditioning includes a 2-year written workmanship warranty covering the installation itself, on top of the separate manufacturer's warranty on the indoor and outdoor units.
In Spain, handling and charging refrigerant gas legally requires certification, so a DIY split AC installation is not compliant even though wall brackets and pipe covers are easy to buy online. Square Meter Air Conditioning uses certified, insured engineers for every installation, which also keeps the manufacturer's warranty valid.
Yes, most of the split systems we install are reversible heat pumps that provide both cooling in summer and heating in winter from the same indoor and outdoor unit. If you only want a cooling-only model, let us know during the site survey and we'll quote accordingly.
