Heating Marbella & Costa del Sol | Heat Pumps & Underfloor

Heating Specialists

Proper heating, properly installed

Heating is often an afterthought on the Costa del Sol — until January arrives and you realise your property has none, or what it has doesn't work properly. We've been designing and installing heating systems here since 2000.

We handle the whole project: heat source selection, emitter specification, controls and commissioning. Daikin Altherma heat pumps are our primary recommendation for most properties — highly efficient, reversible (cooling in summer), and eligible for energy subsidies.

All work is carried out by our own qualified engineers. No subcontractors, no surprises.

Heat Sources

Choosing the right heat source

The heat source is the engine of your heating system. Get this right and everything else follows. We'll give you an honest recommendation based on your property and how you use it.

Our Primary Recommendation

Air-to-Water Heat Pump

Heat pumps extract warmth from outside air and transfer it indoors — even when it's cold outside. For every unit of electricity they use, they produce 3–4 units of heat. That's an efficiency you simply can't get from a boiler or electric heater.

They're also reversible: the same unit provides cooling in summer. The Daikin Altherma is our go-to — reliable, quiet and well-supported.

Can directly replace an existing gas or oil boiler. High-temperature models work with traditional radiators.

Efficient & Comfortable

Underfloor Heating

Underfloor heating works at lower flow temperatures than radiators, making it the ideal partner for a heat pump. It heats the whole floor surface, so the warmth rises evenly — no cold corners, no hot spots near the radiator.

We can install underfloor heating into almost any floor build-up, including retrofits. Correct insulation beneath the pipes is critical and something we always specify.

Best suited to new builds and full renovations. Can be combined with high-efficiency radiators in rooms where floor replacement isn't practical.

Supplementary Source

Solar Thermal

Solar thermal uses roof-mounted collectors to heat water for domestic use and space heating. On the Costa del Sol it makes a strong contribution to domestic hot water year-round.

As a space heating source, it's most useful in low-temperature systems like underfloor heating. In winter, shorter days and lower sun angles limit its output — so we always pair it with a reliable backup heat source.

Best used for domestic hot water (DHW). Useful for pool season extension. Not a standalone heating solution for winter.

Heat Emitters

How the heat reaches your rooms

The emitter is what you see and feel. Choosing the wrong one for your heat source undermines the whole system's efficiency. We always specify them together.

Underfloor Heating

The best match for a heat pump. Underfloor systems operate at 30–45°C flow temperature, which is where heat pumps run most efficiently. The large surface area means gentle, even warmth across the entire floor — no radiators to plan around and no cold spots.

We can lay underfloor circuits into almost any floor build-up. Insulation beneath the pipes is essential and non-negotiable — without it, you're heating the ground, not the room.

High-Efficiency Radiators

Where underfloor heating isn't practical — renovation budgets, tiled floors, structural constraints — modern high-efficiency radiators are the answer. They're not the heavy cast-iron units of old: today's low-temperature panel radiators work well with heat pumps when correctly sized.

We size and specify radiators for your actual heat loss, not a rule of thumb. Oversized radiators waste money; undersized ones leave you cold. The calculation matters and we do it properly.
