heat without an oil tank.

What a house in Montuïri asks of its heating

Montuïri is inland, far from the sea, which is what softens the winter on the coast. PVGIS, with data from 2005 to 2020, gives an average January temperature of 10.7 °C here, almost a degree less than in Palma (11.6 °C). It is not a harsh winter, but it is a long one, and the house feels it.

Village houses: little space, well used

In a terraced house there is no room to spare. The indoor part of a heat pump, with its hot-water tank, takes up about as much space as a tall fridge and fits in a utility room or under the stairs. The outdoor unit goes in the back yard or on the flat roof terrace, on anti-vibration mounts, where it won't disturb the neighbours.

Fincas with an oil boiler

If the finca already has radiators and a boiler, the heat pump connects to the same circuit. The size of the radiators is checked, because a heat pump performs better the less hot the water has to be, and you can do away with the oil tank and its refills.

Well water: tested first

The Balearic Water Plan describes the Montuïri aquifer as having chlorides (330 mg/l on average) and sulphates (220 mg/l) of natural origin. If the house is supplied from a well, we ask for a water analysis before choosing the hot-water tank: each manufacturer states in its manual what water quality it accepts.

Grants

Heat pump grants in Montuïri

FACTOR 2026, from the Balearic Govern, pays a private individual 70 % of a heat pump. The calculation is based on a maximum of €1,000 per kWt of the unit's output, plus €450/kWt if new distribution is fitted (low-temperature radiators or underfloor heating), with a cap of €25,000 per installation (BOIB no. 83, 2 July 2026). Deadline: until 28 February 2027 or until the budget runs out.

Conditions worth knowing beforehand: the unit has to exceed a seasonal performance (SPF) of 2.5, air-to-air units in homes do not qualify and the grant requires a home address in the Balearic Islands.

Montuïri's construction tax (ICIO) rebate is for the solar installation, not for the heat pump. If you add panels, see solar panels in Montuïri.

If the energy certificates from before and after show the improvement the law requires, in your main home or in one you let, the income tax (IRPF) deduction for energy-efficiency works may apply (additional provision 50 of the Income Tax Act 35/2006; works until 31 December 2026). You claim the income tax (IRPF) deduction yourself in your Spanish tax return, with the invoices and certificates we give you.

We prepare the paperwork and, with your authorisation, submit the grant application and its justification; you sign the application and the grant is paid into your bank account. Whether it is awarded is up to the authorities.
