The climate for heat pumps in Sóller
Sóller is a mountain area. For a 120 m² home built between 1980 and 2006 we estimate a heating demand of about 7,830 kWh a year and about 10.0 kW of power, covered by a 12 kW Vaillant aroTHERM plus.
Compared with an oil boiler (about €1,172 a year for heating and hot water for 3 people), a heat pump with radiators would cost about €615: indicative savings of €557 a year. Underfloor heating or fan coils improve efficiency further.
What to consider in Sóller
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.
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 Sóller: the coldest part of the island
In the Sóller valley and the Serra temperatures drop further than on the coast, so we size the heat pump with margin and pay particular attention to pipe insulation. The stone houses, with their thermal mass, work very well with underfloor heating running continuously.
