Heat Pumps in Mijas — Why We Are the Local Installer
Agua Therm has a physical base in Mijas (del Hornillo, C. Labiérnago, 29651), making us the closest aerothermal installer to most Mijas Costa properties. That means 25–30 minute response times for the initial survey, during installation, and for any aftercare. We are not a Marbella company that gets to Mijas when it can — we are local.
Mijas is a municipality covering an enormous spectrum of properties: from historic village houses in Mijas Pueblo with thick stone walls, to modern luxury villas in Mijas Golf and Los Arqueros with underfloor heating already installed. Each property type requires a different aerothermal approach, and we know them all well.
Mijas climate — mild on the coast and slightly cooler in the inland village — is ideal for heat pump efficiency. Winter temperatures rarely fall below 7°C even in Mijas Pueblo, meaning the system operates at high COP during heating months. Our Mijas clients replacing electric or oil heating typically see annual costs fall by 60–75%.
Recent Project: La Cala de Mijas — Oil Boiler Replacement
Replacement of a 15-year-old oil boiler in a 220 m² villa in La Cala with a 16 kW Mitsubishi air-to-water heat pump. The villa had existing underfloor heating on the ground floor and radiators upstairs. The new system feeds both circuits. Estimated saving: 68% on heating and hot water costs. Installation completed in 2 days.

What heat pump system works best for a Mijas Golf villa?
Mijas Golf villas are typically newer builds with good insulation and accessible ceiling voids — ideal for a full aerothermal system with ducted distribution and Airzone zoning. The aerothermal unit provides heating in winter, cooling in summer, and domestic hot water year-round from a single outdoor unit. For villas with existing underfloor heating, this combination runs at maximum efficiency.
Can I install a heat pump in a Mijas Pueblo village house?
Yes, though older village houses require more careful sizing. The thick stone walls actually provide good thermal mass, meaning once the house is heated it retains warmth well. We often recommend a small air-to-water heat pump with a fan coil system for Mijas Pueblo properties where underfloor heating is not practical. A free survey is essential to recommend the right system.
Is aerothermal cost-effective in Mijas compared to Marbella?
Yes — Mijas has very similar climate characteristics to Marbella. The mild winters (rarely below 8°C even inland) mean the heat pump operates at high COP all year. Clients in Calahonda and La Cala replacing old electric heating typically see energy bills drop by 65–75% after switching to aerothermal.
Do you serve all of Mijas Costa from your Mijas base?
Yes. Our Mijas branch (del Hornillo, C. Labiérnago) means we can reach any Mijas Costa address — Calahonda, Riviera del Sol, El Chaparral, Las Lagunas, La Cala de Mijas, Mijas Golf — within 25–30 minutes. This also means faster aftercare response compared to companies based only in Marbella or Fuengirola.
How much does aerothermal heat pump installation cost in Mijas?
A single-unit aerothermal system with hot water cylinder for a 150–200 m² villa in Mijas typically costs €8,000–€14,000 supply and install. Larger properties or systems with zone control cost more. We provide a fixed written quote after a free home survey — no hidden extras.
What permits are needed for heat pump installation in Mijas?
We handle the declaración responsable required by the Mijas Ayuntamiento for heat pump installations, and any ICP electrical upgrade if your supply needs increasing. In Mijas Pueblo, outdoor unit placement may also require specific positioning under local heritage rules — we know these rules and design accordingly.
