Heat pumps in Santa Eugènia,
for the year-round home.

Your village

Santa Eugènia: three kinds of house, three ways to fit it

The municipality has village houses, villas and fincas, and three protected hamlets. The heat pump is the same; what changes is where the outdoor unit goes and which permit is needed.

In ses Alqueries, ses Olleries and ses Coves

The three hamlets have been assets of cultural interest (BIC) since 2009, declared by the Consell de Mallorca (BOE no. 115, 12 May 2009). Putting an outdoor unit in view on a façade or a roof is not your decision alone: the work needs a building permit and may also need Heritage approval (Balearic Historical Heritage Act 12/1998, art. 37). We look for a patio, a back yard or an annexe where the machine can be neither seen nor heard from the street.

Village houses and villas

Outside the protected ensembles there is more leeway. At a villa, the outdoor unit goes in the garden, away from the bedrooms; at a village house, in the back yard or on the flat roof terrace. In both cases, on anti-vibration mounts and with the condensate drain sorted.

Houses lived in all year round

In a main residence, the system works long hours: heating from November to March, hot water every day and cooling in summer. The more it is used, the more the unit's efficiency counts and the more sense it makes to pair it with solar panels.

Grants

Heat pump grants in Santa Eugènia

To swap the boiler for a heat pump, FACTOR 2026 is open: 70 % for private individuals. The amount comes from applying that percentage to a maximum cost of €1,000/kWt (or €450/kWt more if the distribution is renewed), without exceeding €25,000 per installation (BOIB no. 83, 2 July 2026), and the deadline runs to 28 February 2027 if the money doesn't run out first.

Requirements: an SPF above 2.5, a home address in the Balearic Islands, and the unit must not be an air-to-air system in a home.

Santa Eugènia's property tax (IBI) and construction tax (ICIO) rebates are for solar energy, not for heat pumps. If you install panels at the same time, they are worth having: see solar panels in Santa Eugènia.

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.
