Torre del Mar (Vélez-Málaga)
Efficient hot water and climate control on the seafront and in town.
Heat pumps · Torre del Mar
Most homes in Torre del Mar are apartments, penthouses and townhouses near the promenade. In an apartment, a heat pump is mainly about hot water: a compact unit or a heat-pump water heater replaces the butane heater or the electric boiler. In townhouses and houses it can also handle heating and cooling. Being a few minutes from our Vélez-Málaga office, visits and servicing are quick.
In apartments we look at where the outdoor unit can go (terrace, utility area or roof) and, if the roof is shared, what the community of owners needs to approve. In townhouses we check space for the tank and the heat emitters. Near the sea we choose units and brackets protected against salt corrosion.
Our whole team speaks English, and Daniel Hill is a native speaker, so you can handle everything in English from the first call.

Rules and rebates
Salty seafront air is hard on the outdoor unit's heat exchanger: an anti-corrosion treatment and regular servicing are advisable. With hot summers, a reversible system that also cools gives you more use from the investment.
