Is a heat pump worth it in Spain?
The air-source heat pump is one of the technologies with the greatest savings potential in Spain. It works as heating in winter and AC in summer with a single unit.
In climates like Madrid, Granada or inland areas with cold winters, a heat pump can reduce heating consumption by 60-75% compared to a gas boiler.
On the Mediterranean coast (Alicante, Málaga, Valencia), the heat pump is ideal for cool winter nights and intense summers.
Typical installation cost for a 100 m² home: €5,000-€9,000. With MOVES III and IRPF deductions, net cost can be 40-60% lower.
Our recommendation: a heat pump is almost always a good investment in Spain, especially combined with insulation and solar.
