Housing type in Hortaleza

A district built for families

Hortaleza is made up of good-quality blocks built between the 1970s and the 1990s, with three- and four-bedroom homes, generous terraces, and proximity to Parque Juan Carlos I. These are homes designed to be lived in for many hours a day: someone works from a bedroom turned into a home office, the children occupy another area, and the living room is used at different times from the rest. It's precisely that variety of use that an old air-conditioning system, designed to run as a single block, doesn't handle well. The original electrics, for their part, were rarely designed with today's number of devices in a family home in mind.

Climate control

Every bedroom, its own temperature

With ducted air conditioning and Airzone zoning, the children's bedroom can stay cooler at night while the study stays warm during the day, all without the system having to run at full power across the whole home at once.

The system is built into the false ceiling in hallways and shared areas, leaving the main rooms with discreet diffusers and no indoor units visible in any bedroom. Less noise, lower consumption, and a much more even temperature across the different areas of the home.

Electrical

An installation built for a house with everything switched on

Washing machine, tumble dryer, several air-conditioning units, computers and chargers all running at different times of day: we check the contracted power and the state of the consumer unit, and renew whatever is needed so the installation can handle the real demands of a family home, with the corresponding electrical certificate.

We replace the lighting with LEDs and add simple smart-home features to automate household routines — an all-off setting at night, study or dinner scenes — without anyone having to go room to room flicking switches.

A common case in Hortaleza

In Hortaleza's family blocks it's common for the original consumer unit to fall short as soon as the household adds a second air-conditioning unit plus the appliances that come with a larger family. The RCD trips during the busiest hours, typically in the early evening. We check the actual power needed before installing anything new.

Smart-home integration of air conditioning, blinds and lighting in a recently built home

Cause: In Hortaleza's newer homes there are often several systems — AC, heating, motorised blinds — installed separately, each with its own remote or app.
Effect: The owner ends up juggling three or four different apps that don't talk to each other, and loses real control over the home's overall energy use.
Prevention: Choose a common smart-home protocol before installing each system separately, rather than trying to unify them afterwards.
ANNA's diagnosis: ANNA reviews what equipment already exists and which smart-home protocol can bring it together under a single control panel, without replacing what already works well.
