Practical guides, real prices and expert advice for property owners in the Alt Empordà
Lighting is one of the elements that most defines the final result of a design renovation. Integrating the electrical installer in the project from the start is the difference between lighting that works and lighting that is mediocre.
Underfloor heating is the heating solution interior designers prefer: no radiators or splits to disrupt the design.
The challenge of air conditioning in design homes is making it disappear. With current solutions it is possible to air-condition any space without any visible unit.
The installations planning in a new build is the document that coordinates each contractor's entry with the construction phases.
At the end of a build, the installer must deliver complete technical documentation certifying that all installations have been correctly executed and comply with regulations.
Coordination between architect and installer is one of the factors that most influences the final cost and quality of a build. An integral installer who starts from the project stage is an asset for the architect.
A complete energy renovation in Alt Empordà covers: new electrical installation, plumbing, aerothermal (boiler replacement), air conditioning and optionally solar panels.
The main objection to underfloor heating in renovations is the floor height increase. With current low-profile systems (20–35 mm), it can be installed in most renovations.
A new build is the best time to install solar panels: the roof is designed for them, the electrical panel is sized from the start and installation cost is lower than in a retrofit.
In a new build, ducted air conditioning hides all units in the false ceiling, with no visible wall units. Maximum efficiency and clean design.
In a new build, timing matters as much as materials. Hiring the installer after the walls are up is the main cause of surprises and extra costs.
Energy renovation grants have never been as generous as now. The Next Generation EU programme, ICAEN grants and municipal programmes can reduce the cost of an energy renovation by 20–50%. The problem is that the bureaucracy is complex and many homeowners never apply. Here we explain how it works.

Oversizing is the most common mistake in aerothermal installations. A heat pump too large for the home works in short cycles, uses more energy and lasts less. In this article we explain how to correctly size a heat pump and why a prior technical visit is essential.
When a client asks us which heat pump brand is the best, the honest answer is: it depends. But there are real differences between brands worth knowing before making a €10,000–20,000 investment. As official installers of all four brands, we explain without bias what we've learned.
