The climate for heat pumps in Pollença
Pollença lies at about 51 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 11.1 °C, and the municipality has about 408 heating degree days a year, 37% more than Palma (297). For comparison, Alcúdia has 322 and Sa Pobla 383.
In this climate, for a 120 m² home built between 1980 and 2006 we estimate a heating demand of about 7,418 kWh a year and about 8.3 kW of power, covered by a 10 kW Vaillant aroTHERM plus.
Compared with an oil boiler (about €1,904 a year for heating and hot water for 3 people), a heat pump with radiators would cost about €590: indicative savings of €1,314 a year. Underfloor heating or fan coils improve efficiency further.
Heat pump grants in Pollença
If the heat pump replaces an oil, propane or gas boiler, a Vaillant unit earns about €2,500 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 10 kW unit would have received up to €7,000 (€700 per kW of heating output). If you already applied, we help you with the final paperwork.
What to consider in Pollença
Winters in the Serra de Tramuntana are colder and damper than on the coast, so we size the heat pump with a margin and position the outdoor unit to fit the protected landscape.
For holiday homes, app control lets you switch on heating or cooling before you arrive.
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 Pollença: stone houses and cooler winters
The stone houses of Pollença have a lot of thermal mass: they take a while to warm up but hold the heat well once they do. That is why they work so well with underfloor heating and a system that runs gently and continuously. Being next to the Serra, we size with a little more margin than on the south coast.
