Housing type in La Florida

Chalets with history and their own gardens

La Florida is one of the most established chalet areas in north-west Madrid, with private-garden plots and architecture that, in many cases, combines the home's original structure with piecemeal refurbishments carried out over the years. This type of house often carries electrical and climate-control installations that were modern in their day but now limit the real comfort a home of this size could offer. Updating them thoughtfully means gaining efficiency without losing the character of the house.

Climate control

Modernising climate control without losing the character of the house

Replacing old heating systems with an air-source heat pump and underfloor heating and cooling is, in chalets like those in La Florida, one of the interventions with the biggest impact on everyday comfort, especially on floors that previously had uneven temperatures.

We position the outdoor unit in a discreet corner of the garden and adapt the routing of ducts or manifolds to the available space, without invasive building work in an already established home.

Electrical

An electrical installation that meets today's needs

In many La Florida chalets, fitting the garage with an EV charging point to ITC-BT-52 standards first requires reviewing the contracted power and, if necessary, arranging the corresponding electrical certificate.

We also take the opportunity to renew the lighting with LED and add home automation that makes everyday life easier, with lighting scenes for the living room, garden and entrance.

A common case in La Florida

In La Florida's older chalets it's common to find electrical installations with several successive extensions added over the years, each one bolted on without an overall plan. The result is usually a fuse board that's difficult to maintain and has less safety margin than a home of this value should have.

Garden lighting: light points ageing in the open air

Cause: Garden spotlights and bollard lights on established plots like those in La Florida have spent years outdoors, with connections degrading from damp and sun.
Effect: Some lights stop working, flicker, or trip the residual-current device when it rains, with no obvious cause.
Prevention: Periodically check the weatherproofing of boxes and connections in outdoor lighting, especially after several winters.
ANNA's diagnosis: ANNA reviews the outdoor electrical installation as part of the safety diagnostic, identifying degraded points before they fail.
