The climate for heat pumps in Felanitx
Felanitx lies at about 120 m above sea level, in climate zone B3 of the Spanish Building Code (CTE). According to the 2014–2023 PVGIS series (European Commission), the coldest month is January, averaging 12.0 °C, and the municipality has about 301 heating degree days a year, similar to Palma. For comparison, Santanyí has 165 and Manacor 283.
In this climate, for a 120 m² home built between 1980 and 2006 we estimate a heating demand of about 5,473 kWh a year and about 7.1 kW of power, covered by a 8 kW Vaillant aroTHERM plus.
Compared with an oil boiler (about €1,515 a year for heating and hot water for 3 people), a heat pump with radiators would cost about €472: indicative savings of €1,043 a year. Underfloor heating or fan coils improve efficiency further.
Heat pump grants in Felanitx
If the heat pump replaces an oil, propane or gas boiler, a Vaillant unit earns about €2,000 in Energy Saving Certificates (CAE). For a main home, Spanish taxpayers can also deduct 40% of the investment from income tax, up to €3,000. And the installation can be financed interest-free.

The Balearic Government’s FACTOR 2026 programme closed to applications on 17 October 2026 because its budget ran out. For reference, a 8 kW unit would have received up to €5,600 (€700 per kW of heating output). If you already applied, we help you with the final paperwork.
What to consider in Felanitx
On rural properties we often replace oil or propane boilers; a heat pump removes the fuel tank and deliveries.
Near the sea we protect the outdoor unit against salt air and position it to reduce noise.
Complete, certified installation
We calculate heat loads, choose the emitters, install the unit and hot-water tank, certify it under RITE and handle the CAE and the energy certificates for the income-tax deduction.

Heat pumps in Felanitx: large stone houses
Town and country houses in Felanitx tend to be big, with high ceilings and thick walls. There it pays to calculate the loads carefully and, where possible, work in zones: there is no point conditioning the whole house if only a few rooms are used. We go through it room by room during the survey.
