Villa Maintenance & Handyman in Elounda

Discreet, high-standard technical care for luxury villas and homes in Elounda, Plaka and Schisma, about 50 minutes from Hersonissos.

Villa Electrician, Plumber and A/C Specialist in Elounda and Plaka

Elounda looks out over the sheltered waters of the Mirabello bay towards the island of Spinalonga. The old fishing harbour of Schisma is now lined with tavernas, the old salt pans and the causeway lead across to the Spinalonga peninsula, and the coast road continues north to the small village of Plaka directly opposite Spinalonga. On the hillsides above are some of the most exclusive villas in Crete, many with infinity pools, large terraces and full home automation.

Properties at this level have a lot of technology packed into them: several A/C units, pool and garden lighting, pumps, alarm systems and smart controls. Owners and guests expect all of it to work without a hitch, and the sea air close to the shore slowly attacks anything metal outdoors. Good maintenance is what keeps a premium villa premium.

From Hersonissos I reach Elounda in about 50 minutes, via Agios Nikolaos and the coast road. I work quietly and tidily, respect the privacy of guests and keep owners and villa managers informed in English or Dutch. As a certified plumber, electrician and HVAC technician I can handle most technical issues in one visit instead of sending three different trades.

What I do for villas in Elounda

  • A/C installation and service: multi-unit villas need cleaned filters and coils every season, I keep them quiet and efficient.
  • A/C repair: fast fault finding when a bedroom unit stops on a hot night with guests in the house.
  • Smart home: setting up, repairing and simplifying villa automation for lighting, shutters and climate.
  • CCTV and alarms: cameras and alarm systems that owners can check from abroad.
  • Lighting: pool, garden and terrace lighting, including corroded outdoor fittings near the sea.
  • Water filtration: softeners and filters that protect expensive taps, showers and appliances from limescale.
  • Water pumps: pressure and booster pumps for villas with many bathrooms and garden irrigation.
  • Heat pumps: efficient comfort for villas that are rented out in spring and autumn as well.
  • Villa maintenance: preventive checks before the season, between bookings and after it closes.
  • Pressure cleaning: terraces, pool surrounds and driveways ready for the first guests.

Luxury villas by the sea

The more a house can do, the more there is to look after. In Elounda the most common issues I am asked to solve are:

  • Salt corrosion on outdoor A/C units, pool lights and garden fittings
  • Limescale in showers, mixer taps and water heaters, especially in villas without a softener
  • Smart home and alarm systems that were installed once and never updated
  • Pressure problems when several bathrooms and the irrigation run at the same time
  • Small faults that guests notice immediately, like a flickering light or a slow drain

Working discreetly around guests

Most villas here are rented out or used by owners for a few weeks a year. I work with villa managers and owners abroad to schedule maintenance between bookings, and when guests are present I keep my visit short, quiet and tidy. After every job you receive photos and a short note on WhatsApp, so you know exactly what was done.

The best approach is a preventive check in spring and a second one in autumn, with urgent repairs in between. That keeps surprises to a minimum during the high season.

Who I work for in Elounda

Private villa owners from across Europe, local and international rental managers, and residents who live here year-round. Whether it is a single villa or several properties, you get one reliable contact for electrics, plumbing and climate.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you be in Elounda?

Elounda is about 50 minutes from Hersonissos. For urgent problems with guests in the villa I come as fast as I can; maintenance is planned in advance between bookings.

Do the travel costs make sense for a villa in Elounda?

For a full A/C service, a smart home fix or a seasonal check of the villa, the drive is a small part of the total. For one loose socket it is a different story, so I suggest keeping a short list of small issues, or booking them on a day I am already working in Elounda or Agios Nikolaos.

How often should the A/C in a sea-view villa be serviced?

At least once a year, ideally before the season, and twice for villas that are rented all summer. Close to the sea I also check the outdoor units for corrosion and clean the coils.

Can you work while guests are staying in the villa?

Yes, if it cannot wait. I arrange the time with the manager or guests, work quietly and leave everything clean. Non-urgent jobs I plan between stays.

Do you also cover Plaka and Schisma?

Yes, the whole Elounda area including Schisma, Plaka, Pines and Selles is part of my service area.

Can you check my villa before I arrive from abroad?

Yes. I can run all systems, test the A/C, water heater and pool area electrics and send you a short report with photos before you travel.
