Heat Pump Installation on the Costa del Sol

The price is quoted individually after a survey. It depends on the capacity needed (pool volume, home size or hot-water demand), the brand and model, the pipework length and the electrical work required. A free survey gives you a written quote for your property.

A common rule of thumb is about 0.3 kW of heating output per cubic metre of pool water, so a 40 m³ pool starts at roughly 12 kW. A cover, shelter from wind and a shorter season reduce the size you need; an exposed or shaded pool and year-round use increase it. We confirm the size at the survey.

Usually they are separate units, because a pool needs a large flow of warm water while domestic hot water needs a hotter storage tank. Some air-to-water systems can serve heating, hot water and a pool depending on the model and capacity. We confirm what is possible for your property at the survey.

Yes. A jacuzzi holds much less water than a pool, so it needs a smaller unit, or it can be connected to the pool plant. We check the volume, insulation and cover before recommending a solution.

It depends on the pool size, target temperature, cover, hours of use and your electricity tariff. A heat pump typically delivers around three to five kWh of heat per kWh of electricity, more in mild weather and less on cold nights. We estimate the running cost for your property, and our pool heating cost comparison shows the options side by side.

Yes. Winters are mild, so the air still holds usable heat, but efficiency falls as the air gets colder and the unit needs defrost cycles. A cover and correct sizing keep the pool comfortable and the running cost under control.

Yes. Scheduling the heat pump and pool filtration for the middle of the day lets your panels cover a share of the electricity, and a battery can carry part of the load into the evening. We can design the heat pump and the solar system together, or connect the heat pump to panels you already have.

Spain and Andalucía have programmes and tax deductions for some residential energy-efficiency works, but they usually have conditions such as habitual residence and an energy certificate, and they change from year to year. Pool heating is generally not covered. We do not process applications, so check the current rules with your tax adviser or gestor before relying on one.

It depends on the model. We check your phase (single or three-phase), contracted power, cable size and protections at the survey, because an undersized supply is a common cause of problems.

The unit needs good airflow, a stable base and a condensate drain, and should sit away from bedroom windows and neighbours. Noise depends on the model, and inverter units are generally quieter at part load. We choose the position at the survey.
