Grupo Aplus, a leader in efficient climate control, has highlighted the growing interest in aerothermal energy as a solution that promotes both sustainability and profitability for users from the very first year of use. Recently, this technology has evolved from limited awareness to becoming the preferred option for many households looking to reduce their energy consumption without sacrificing comfort.
Experts from Grupo Aplus have observed that families are increasingly interested in avoiding high heating costs and reducing their reliance on fossil fuels such as gas or oil. They state, "People value savings, Wi-Fi connectivity, and sustainability, and aerothermal energy is currently the most logical and efficient solution." This system can extract energy from the outside air, achieving an efficiency that can reach up to 500%. This means that for every kilowatt of electricity consumed, it can generate five kilowatts of thermal energy, in contrast to traditional boilers, which rarely exceed 90%.
The resulting potential savings are considerable, with the possibility of reducing annual energy bills by up to 70%, especially when combined with photovoltaic solar panels. The Institute for Diversification and Energy Savings (IDAE) has recorded a notable increase in the sale of aerothermal heat pumps, with more than 209,000 units sold in Spain in 2023. This growth is expected to continue into 2025 as more homeowners choose to move away from gas systems without giving up comfort.
Luis Quesada from Grupo Aplus has noticed an increase in demand for quotes for aerothermal installations, both in new constructions and existing homes. It is noted that there are currently solutions adapted for previously built homes, including apartments, as long as certain technical requirements are met.
Regarding the cost of aerothermal installation, it remains stable, estimated at approximately €6,728 for a 1,076 square foot (100 m²) home and €8,954 for a 2,152 square foot (200 m²) home. The lifespan of these systems is estimated to be up to 20 years, with a return on investment of less than six years, suggesting that aerothermal energy will solidify as a primary alternative for home climate control in Spain.
In addition to economic savings, the transition to aerothermal energy significantly enhances comfort. When combined with underfloor heating or radiators, it ensures uniform and efficient climate control throughout the year. This electric nature limits dependency on fossil fuels, aligning with the decarbonization objectives set by the European Union.
Grupo Aplus has highlighted its experience with over 3,000 projects in single-family homes, apartments, and small communities, emphasizing the importance of personalized advice for each installation. A well-sized system tailored to the actual needs of the home ensures excellent results and a high level of satisfaction.
