The climate for heat pumps in Pollença
Pollença is a coastal area. For a 120 m² home built between 1980 and 2006 we estimate a heating demand of about 5,400 kWh a year and about 7.1 kW of power, covered by a 10 kW Vaillant aroTHERM plus.
Compared with an oil boiler (about €885 a year for heating and hot water for 3 people), a heat pump with radiators would cost about €467: indicative savings of €418 a year. Underfloor heating or fan coils improve efficiency further.
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 apply for available grants.

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.
