Homes Without Gas Heating
Many Valencia apartments have no gas connection — a heat pump replaces electric radiators with a far cheaper way to stay warm.
What's Included
What Heat Pump Installation Covers
Every heat pump job starts with sizing the system correctly for the room or apartment, then runs through supply, fitting and commissioning so the unit is heating and cooling from day one.
- ✓Free on-site or photo/video assessment and heating and cooling load calculation
- ✓Fixed written quote with no hourly billing or hidden extras
- ✓Supply of a reversible aerothermal indoor and outdoor unit pair
- ✓Wall or floor bracket mounting for the outdoor condenser
- ✓Refrigerant pipe run, insulated and routed through wall or trunking
- ✓Condensate drain installation with correct fall to a drainage point
- ✓Dedicated electrical circuit and isolator, sized to the unit's power draw
- ✓Vacuum pressure test of the refrigerant line before gas release
- ✓Commissioning in both heating and cooling mode, with performance checks
- ✓Wi-Fi app pairing and thermostat or remote handover with a walkthrough
- ✓Site clean-up and packaging removal
- ✓2-year written workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer's unit warranty
Is This Right For You?
Who Chooses a Heat Pump Over Standard AC
A heat pump costs more upfront than a cooling-only split unit, but it replaces a second heating appliance — here's who typically benefits most from the swap.
Full Renovations
Owners re-plastering or rewiring an apartment can route heat pump pipework and cabling while walls are open, avoiding a second job later.
Energy-Conscious Owners
Anyone replacing an old resistive heater or looking to cut electricity bills benefits from a heat pump's three-to-one heat output ratio.
How It Works
Our Heat Pump Installation Process
Assessment
We measure the room or apartment, check insulation and existing heating, and calculate the load for both seasons.
Fixed quote
You get one written price covering the unit, pipework, electrics and commissioning — confirmed before any work starts.
Unit mounting
The outdoor condenser is fixed to a wall bracket or ground frame; the indoor unit is mounted at the agreed position.
Pipework & electrics
Insulated refrigerant lines, condensate drain and a dedicated circuit with isolator are installed and vacuum-tested.
Commissioning
The system is run in both heating and cooling mode, pressures and airflow are checked, and the app or remote is paired.
Handover
We walk you through the controls, hand over warranty paperwork and leave the workspace clean.
Pricing
What Affects the Price of a Heat Pump
Heat pump installation costs more than a cooling-only split because the unit, electrics and controls all have to work in reverse cycle — the exact price depends on a handful of factors we check on-site.
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Heating & cooling capacity (kW) | Larger or poorly insulated rooms need a higher-output unit to reach temperature efficiently in both seasons. |
| Number of indoor zones | Single-zone systems cost less than multi-split heat pumps serving several rooms from one outdoor unit. |
| Electrical supply | Some properties need a new dedicated circuit or consumer unit capacity check before the heat pump can be wired in. |
| Pipe run & access | Longer refrigerant runs, high walls or ceiling routing add material and labour time. |
| Brand & efficiency rating | Higher-COP models from Daikin or Mitsubishi Electric cost more upfront but lower running costs over the unit's life. |

Why Square Meter
One System for Both Summer Cooling and Winter Heating
Square Meter Air Conditioning is the dedicated AC and heat pump division of Square Meter, the Valencia renovation, plumbing and electrical group — so if a job needs a new circuit or wall chase for pipework, it's handled by people already on the team, not a subcontractor we've never worked with.

FAQ
Heat Pump Installation Questions
A heat pump is built on the same refrigeration cycle as an air conditioner but the cycle is reversible, so the same indoor and outdoor unit pair can cool a room in summer and heat it in winter. Most air-to-air heat pumps installed in Valencia homes look identical to a standard split AC unit and are controlled with the same type of remote or app.
A single-zone aerothermal heat pump installation starts from EUR 2,200 supplied and fitted, with the final figure depending on the unit's heating and cooling capacity, the number of indoor zones, pipe run length and wall or roof access. Square Meter confirms the exact price in a written quote after a free on-site or photo/video assessment.
Yes — Valencia's winters rarely drop below freezing, which is exactly the temperature range where air-to-air heat pumps run most efficiently, often delivering three to four units of heat for every unit of electricity consumed. Homeowners get a heating bill lower than electric radiators or portable heaters, plus the cooling capacity for summer, from one installed system.
A single outdoor unit can be paired with either one indoor unit for one room or multiple indoor units in a multi-split configuration to heat and cool several rooms independently. Square Meter's engineers size the system to the apartment's layout and insulation during the free assessment so every room reaches temperature without oversizing the unit.
A single-zone heat pump installation is typically completed in one working day, from mounting the indoor and outdoor units to running pipework, vacuum-testing the line and commissioning the system. Multi-zone installations with several indoor units usually take one to two days depending on pipe runs and wall access.
Because a heat pump runs in both directions and often for more months of the year than a cooling-only AC unit, annual servicing matters more, not less — filter cleaning, coil checks, drain clearance and a refrigerant pressure check keep efficiency up through both seasons. Square Meter's maintenance visits start from EUR 69 per unit, or from EUR 180 per year on a multi-unit contract.
