Heat pumps in Sant Joan,
for the finca and for its guests.

Your village

Sant Joan: big houses, thick walls and a lot of hot water

The manor houses of Sant Joan's possessions (traditional estates) and its fincas have stone walls, high ceilings and many rooms. When they host guests, they also use a lot of hot water at once. Those are the two things that decide the installation.

Fincas lived in all year round

A stone house is slow to warm up and slow to cool down. With a heat pump that works long hours at low output, it stays warm without the ups and downs of a wood stove or of a boiler that starts and stops. If the finca has solar panels, part of that electricity comes from its own roof.

Agroturismos: hot water comes first

An agroturismo is not a building used exclusively as a dwelling, which is what art. 3.2 excludes, so its hot water falls under RD 487/2022 on legionella prevention: at least 60 °C in the final storage tank and more than 50 °C in the return and at the taps (annex III, section I, part A, point 7). The heat pump does the bulk of the heating and the final step is handled with the right equipment. We explain it in the guide to legionella in Mallorca.

Village houses

In the village centre, smaller houses side by side: a compact heat pump, the outdoor unit in the back yard and, if there are no building works, connection to the existing radiators.

Grants

Heat pump grants in Sant Joan

FACTOR 2026 (Balearic Govern, BOIB no. 83, 2 July 2026) gives private individuals 70 % of a heat pump: a cost of up to €1,000/kWt is counted, which can be increased by €450/kWt if new distribution is installed, and the grant reaches a maximum of €25,000 per installation. Until 28 February 2027.

The call has different percentages and caps depending on who applies; if the finca is a tourism business, we look with you at which group of beneficiaries you fall into before doing the sums. In every case the unit must exceed an SPF of 2.5.

The Sant Joan bylaws we have reviewed give no municipal tax rebates for heat pumps.

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.
