Warmth that wraps around you
Heat rises evenly from the whole floor, not from one spot. No cold zones, no cold feet and none of the dry air of radiators.

Underfloor heating in Mallorca · Joaquín and Juan since 1998
We're Joaquín and Juan. We've been installing underfloor heating across Mallorca together since 1998: warmth that rises evenly from the floor in winter and, with a underfloor heating for the winter; the cooling, with fan coils. Powered by aerothermal heat pumps to keep running costs to a minimum. A RITE-certified company: we install, repair and certify. Juan comes, Joaquín comes, or we both come — we never subcontract.

Why JSL
Underfloor heating in Mallorca, properly installed
Comfort starts beneath the floor. What you see is a clean floor; what you feel is a warm, even home.
It also cools in summer
In Mallorca the floor doesn't cool: with 70% humidity it would condense. The same heat pump delivers the cooling through fan coils, and the underfloor system gets on with what it does best, heating.
Minimal running cost
It works at a low temperature (35-40 ºC), exactly where aerothermal heat pumps perform best. The perfect pairing for a lean bill.
Zero radiators
No units on the walls and no visible grilles. You gain space, freedom to decorate and a cleaner, quieter home.
A healthier home
As it doesn't move air, it doesn't stir up dust or dry out the room. A comfortable option for people with allergies and for homes with children.
RITE-certified company
Installations carried out and, where applicable, certified before the Industry authority under the RITE, with an official warranty and invoice.
Before you decide
How underfloor heating works
Beneath the flooring runs a network of pipes laid out in circuits. Low-temperature water circulates through them, spreading heat across the whole floor surface, and from there it rises naturally into the room. Here are the key points to decide wisely.
Water-based underfloor heating
This is the system we install: circuit pipework on an insulating panel, manifolds that distribute water to each zone and a thermostat per room. Compared with radiators, it heats more evenly and at a lower temperature, so it uses less for the same comfort.
Underfloor heating and fan coils
The same circuits can cool in summer: the aerothermal heat pump sends cool water and the floor absorbs the room's heat, lowering the temperature a few degrees gently. It isn't an air conditioner in a full heatwave, but it gives very pleasant comfort for much of the year, with no draughts or noise.
The perfect pairing: aerothermal + underfloor
Underfloor heating runs at 35-40 ºC, exactly the range where aerothermal is most efficient. That's why they go hand in hand: with a single machine you get heating, cooling and hot water, harnessing the energy in the air and — if you add solar panels — almost free during sunlight hours.
New build or renovation?
In new builds, underfloor heating is practically the standard. In renovations it's possible too: there are low-profile panels that raise the floor level by only a few centimetres, so you don't have to do more building work than necessary. We look at your case and tell you what fits.
How we work
Your underfloor heating in 3 steps
1
Survey and design
We see your home, measure rooms and needs and calculate the circuits. We recommend the right system and heat pump and give you a fixed, free, no-obligation quote.
2
Careful installation
We lay the insulating panel, circuits and manifolds, pressure-test everything and leave it ready for the screed and your flooring. Clean, well-finished work.
3
Commissioning and warranty
We balance the circuits, program the thermostats and show you how to get the most out of it. Official warranty and maintenance if you want it.
What we do
Underfloor heating services
From a complete installation to repairing a circuit that has stopped heating.
Complete installation
Water-based underfloor heating for new builds and renovations: panel, circuits, manifolds and thermostats, sized to your home.
Cooling with aerothermal
Underfloor heating powered by an aerothermal heat pump: the floor heats in winter and fan coils cool in summer, all from one machine.
Repair and leaks
We locate circuits that won't heat, manifold faults and leaks in existing installations, with a quote before acting.
Maintenance
Annual check of the manifold, valves and heat pump, circuit bleeding and water-quality control so it lasts for years.
Real work
Underfloor heating in a house in Llucmajor
These photos are from a real job we did ourselves: a home in Llucmajor fully climated with aerothermal underfloor heating. We laid the circuits across the whole floor, connected them to balanced manifolds and built the plant room with its heat pump, valves and thermostats.
The result: even warmth in winter, cool floors in summer and a home without a single visible radiator. All carried out and certified before the Industry authority under the RITE, with its documentation and warranty.

Right to every corner
The layout reaches every room to leave no cold zones.
Installation detail
The perimeter edge strip prevents thermal bridges and cracks.
Plant room

Room-by-room control
Each zone at its own temperature, stable and efficient.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions about underfloor heating
What is underfloor heating and how does it work?
Hydronic underfloor heating is a pipe network beneath the floor finish, usually supplied with water at about 35-40 °C. That low flow temperature suits a heat pump; in Mallorca we size the loops, insulation and finish for each room. Technical source: IDAE guide to heat pumps in renovation.
Does underfloor heating cool in summer in Mallorca?
It can provide cooling, but in Mallorca humidity and dew point must be controlled to prevent condensation. AEMET's normal values for Palma Airport show high monthly relative humidity, while Spain's RITE uses summer design conditions of 23-25 °C and 45-60% relative humidity. We therefore assess condensation control, dehumidification or fan-coil support before recommending radiant cooling. Sources: AEMET and RITE (BOE).
How much does underfloor heating cost in Mallorca?
In Mallorca the price depends on usable m², loop count, insulation, floor finish and whether it is a new build or renovation. The indicative 45-70 €/m² range for the emitter system does not necessarily include the heat pump, screed or finishes; JSL provides an itemised quote after measuring the property.
Can underfloor heating be fitted in a renovation without lifting the whole floor?
Yes, but door clearances, steps and finished levels must be measured. Low-profile systems used in Mallorca renovations can raise the floor by only a few centimetres; the exact build-up depends on panel, pipe, screed and finish and is checked against UNE-EN 1264 system data before specification.
What flooring can I put over underfloor heating?
Tile, stone and other conductive finishes generally transfer heat well; wood can be used if its manufacturer approves it for underfloor heating. In Mallorca we check the thermal resistance of the complete build-up and adjust the flow temperature, commonly around 35-40 °C, to the chosen finish.
Does underfloor heating need maintenance?
The concealed loops need little direct intervention, but the heating system still needs the maintenance specified for its equipment and applicable programme. In a Mallorca home we check the manifold, valves, pressure, venting, water quality and heat pump; Spain's RITE regulates maintenance and requires access for cleaning, servicing and repair. Source: RITE (BOE).
How long does it take to feel the warmth with underfloor heating?
It has more thermal inertia than a radiator, so response can take several hours depending on screed, flooring, insulation and flow temperature. In Mallorca we set schedules and weather compensation for stable low-temperature operation, commonly around 35-40 °C, without promising the same warm-up time for every home.
Do you cover the whole of Mallorca?
Yes, we work across the whole island of Mallorca. We assist you in English, Spanish and German, and reply within 24 hours on working days to arrange the visit and the quote. See our work and customer reviews on the JSL Google Maps profile →.
