Elda Heat Pump Consumption: Daily Expenditure and Efficiency
Elda heat pump consumption is one of the biggest concerns when installing the Elda 90 + Elda HT model. The exact answer to daily spending is variable, but we can approximate it considering key factors: power, uptime, type of installation and the climate of your area. In this article, we analyze the daily consumption by assuming underfloor heating in a house with a Mediterranean climate.
How the underfloor influences the consumption of the heat pump
Underfloor heating is a very efficient heating system that distributes heat evenly. It works with a lower drive temperature (35–45 °C) than radiators, allowing the heat pump to operate at a higher POP and reduce power consumption. In addition, its thermal inertia maintains comfort, which can reduce the total hours of daily operation of the equipment.
Spain temperatures and heating needs
The climate of northern Spain is colder and more humid than in the rest of the country, with winters that usually oscillate between 3 and 12°C on average. This implies:
- The heating demand is higher: More hours per day are required to maintain a comfortable temperature (20–22°C indoors).
- The low external temperatures They affect the performance of the heat pump: The COP decreases slightly when the outside air is very cold, but modern systems such as the Elda 90 + Elda HT are designed to maintain efficiency even in these conditions.
- a house with good insulation Combined with underfloor heating optimizes consumption, reducing unnecessary energy peaks.
Approximate Calculation of Daily Expenditure
Now comes what we all want to know: How much does it really cost me to turn on my Elda 90 + Elda HT heat pump?
The good news is that the calculation is not complicated, and you will be surprised by what efficient and economical that this system can result, especially combined with underfloor heating.
Imagine this:
- You have your pump running in the middle of winter in northern Spain, when the cold really presses.
- Your underfloor heating keeps the house warm with much lower consumption than traditional radiators.
- And while you enjoy that feeling of comfort, your bill It doesn’t shoot as with other heating systems.
Let’s go with the numbers:
- Pump nominal power: 9 kW
- Average operating hours in winter: 10 h/day
- Medium COP with underfloor heating: 3.2 (very efficient!)
- electricity price: €0.16/kWh
Result:
multiplying by the price of electricity:
Yes, you read it well: Warm up your entire home in the middle of winter in Spain can cost you around 4,56 € a day.
And if you compare it with diesel boilers, pellets or electric radiators, the savings are brutal.
In short: Total comfort, adjusted consumption and savings on the bill, all thanks to the Elda 90 + Elda HT heat pump assembly.

Estimated daily expense comparison with other heating systems.
| heating system | ASSUMPTIONS OF USE* | daily estimated expense |
|---|---|---|
| Elda + Elda HT Heat Pump (with underfloor heating) | Power 9 kW, hours of use ~10 h, | ≈ €4.56/day |
| Diesel boiler (Spain standard housing) | Intensive daily use in winter, consumption | Approximately 6-10 €/day or more |
Pellet boiler | Biomass installation, variable consumption for housing of ~100 m² | ≈ 4-8 €/day |
| natural gas boiler (Housing medium size) | Annual expenditure data ~928 € For a system valued between 18,000-20,000 kWh/year | ~ 2-3 €/day (in optimal conditions) ~ 5-6 €/day (with intensive use) |
*The values are estimated and depend on many real factors: insulation, hours of use, outside temperature, system efficiency, fuel, rates, etc.
Conclusion
Is the Elda heat pump cheap? Yes, since its balance between installation, efficiency and maintenance makes it one of The most recommended options of this comparison of heating systems for family homes.In addition, it adds additional advantages such as Greater energy efficiency, Improved comfort and less dependence on fossil fuels, being 100% natural.
Which model of heat pump suits your home?
In the following blog we will explain in detail Which model of heat pump fits best for each type of home: Small flats, single-family houses, chalets or second homes.
Choosing the right model is just as important as knowing daily spending. Not all homes have the same needs:
- Flats and apartments: They usually need lower power pumps, designed for small spaces and with fewer hours of heating.
- Single Family Homes in the North of Spain: require more powerful models, such as Elda 90, capable of maintaining comfort even in cold and humid climates.
- Underfloor chalets: They make the most of the efficiency of high-end heat pumps, reducing electrical consumption thanks to the low supply temperature.
- Vacation or sporadic housing: Here is an interesting model that combines efficiency and speed in start-up, so as not to spend too much when the house is empty.
