Heat pumps in Vilafranca,
one machine for the whole year.

Your village

Vilafranca: two-storey houses, and new builds on the outskirts

Vilafranca de Bonany is a village on the plain, with straight streets, houses with a ground floor and an upper floor, and new homes on the edges. A heat pump fits in both, but the approach differs depending on whether there are building works or not.

New build or full renovation: underfloor heating

When the floors are being taken up, the most efficient option is underfloor heating for warmth: it works with low-temperature water, which is where a heat pump performs best. Summer cooling comes from fan coils or ducts connected to the same machine, never through the floor.

A lived-in house, without building works

Without lifting floors, the heat pump connects to the existing radiators or to new fan coils, which also cool. A monobloc unit simplifies the works: the whole refrigerant circuit is inside the outdoor unit and only two water pipes enter the house.

The spot for the outdoor unit

In terraced houses, the outdoor unit goes in the patio or on the flat roof terrace. We check that it has good airflow around it, that the condensate drain has an outlet and that the noise doesn't reach the neighbour's bedroom: the limits come from the municipal noise bylaw and from the values to which the Balearic Noise Act 1/2007 refers (art. 16 and fourth transitional provision).

Grants

Heat pump grants in Vilafranca de Bonany

The grant in force is FACTOR 2026 (BOIB no. 83, 2 July 2026). For a private individual it covers 70 % of the heat pump installation, with two limits: the cost taken into account does not exceed €1,000/kWt of output (€450/kWt is added if there is underfloor heating or other new distribution) and the grant does not exceed €25,000 per installation.

It is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis until 28 February 2027. 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.

The Vilafranca tax bylaws we have reviewed give no rebate on either the property tax (IBI) or the construction tax (ICIO) for renewable energy installations.

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.
