There is a common myth amongst those who move to the Costa Blanca: “you don’t need heating here”. However, the high relative humidity of our area means the cold seeps into your bones, even with mild temperatures. The best technical solution to combat this thermal sensation and raise the standard of a home is the installation of underfloor heating and air source heat pumps.

At La Quinta Fachada, we know that true luxury is sensory; it is felt but not seen. That is why, in our full renovation and new build projects, we firmly commit to this technology. It is the system that guarantees your home remains a warm, efficient, and healthy haven, far surpassing the performance of traditional radiators or noisy air pumps.

Why choose this climate control system?

Forget appliances that take up useful wall space and stain curtains over time. Choosing invisible climate control offers a superior comfort experience.

Homogeneous and enveloping heat

The system pumps water at a low temperature through a network of pipes installed beneath the flooring. Unlike hot air, which tends to rise and stay at the ceiling (leaving you with cold feet), underfloor heating and air source heat pumps emit heat from the bottom up.

The result: Warm feet and a cool head, which is the ideal thermal distribution for human well-being. Furthermore, you gain total freedom to decorate, placing sofas or bookcases wherever you wish, without radiators getting in the way.

Unbeatable energy efficiency

The key lies in the water temperature. While radiators require water at 70-80ºC, this system works at low temperatures (30-40ºC). The heat pump extracts energy from the outside air to heat the circuit, consuming far less electricity than any conventional gas or oil boiler. The savings on the monthly bill are drastic.

Health and silence: A healthier home

Beyond financial savings, installing underfloor heating and air source heat pumps is a direct investment in health, a feature especially valuable for families with children or allergy sufferers.

No draughts: By not using forced air to heat, dust, lint, and mites are not stirred up, keeping the environment much cleaner.
Constant humidity: This method does not dry out mucous membranes or the throat, avoiding that “stuffy air” feeling typical of air conditioning splits in winter.
Absolute silence: The comfort is there, but it is not heard. There are no buzzing fans or noises of pipes expanding.

Zoning: Total control room by room

One of the great advantages of current technology is management capability. It is no longer necessary to keep the whole house at the same temperature. We install independent thermostats in each room. This allows the underfloor heating and air source heat pumps system to adapt to the real usage of the dwelling: you can keep the living room at 21ºC, the bedrooms at 19ºC for better sleep, and completely switch off guest areas that are not being used, maximising consumption efficiency.

The perfect ally for solar panels

If you are looking for total sustainability, this is the way forward. As it is a system that runs on electricity (the heat pump), it can be powered directly by photovoltaic energy. If you install solar panels on the roof of your villa, you could heat your home at practically zero cost during sunny hours, storing that thermal energy in the inertia of the floor for the night.

Underfloor cooling in summer

We must not forget that the system is reversible. In summer, we circulate cool water (at about 18ºC) through the same pipes. This creates a wonderful “wine cellar” effect, where the floor absorbs excessive heat from the room, keeping the house naturally cool without direct cold draughts.

Investing in quality of life requires making sound technical decisions. Underfloor heating and air source heat pumps are, without a doubt, the foundation upon which the comfort of a modern luxury home is built. Contact us to study the feasibility of integrating it into your next project.
