Heating installation in Barcelona — Solutions for every home
At JAG Alcaide we have been installing heating systems in Barcelona since 1952. We work with all currently available technologies — gas boilers, underfloor heating, wall-mounted gas heaters and aerothermal systems — and advise you on the best option for your home, consumption and budget.
We are official Junkers Bosch installers and all our technicians hold a Category A gas licence issued by the Departament d’Empresa i Coneixement of the Generalitat de Catalunya.
When it comes to warming up your house, local or office you can find different solutions in order to answer your energy efficiency requests and savings. In order to do that, in JAG Alcaide you’ll find the right people that will give you the best advices so you can find the solution that fits your particular circumstances the most. If you put your trust on us you’ll also find a team of experts that has been installing heating systems for more than 40 years.
Heating installations will be designed taking into account both technical criteria and your feedback regarding the operational temperature you want to have in your home or the location of radiators for aesthetic reasons. We will always discuss with the client the pros / cons of the various locations raised, always reasoning with technical arguments in order to agree on which the best solution is.
Our heating installations are always made with quality materials (all pipes are copper, no plastic), and we will hide the pipes as much as we can, so they remain almost unseen. Also, if the customer wishes, we can offer other types of design radiators in order to make the heating installations look more attractive.
Our installations always follow the guidelines set by the Regulation of Thermal Installations (RITE RD2013) and so do our calculations, which result from the values set by the heating power regulation. We will also calculate the required heating power room by room, never by doing a uniform calculation for all room. Aspects such as the inner walls / Outdoor walls, the housing position within the building, the geographical orientation of the building rooms will always be taken into account (which rooms are north etc.).
Also, in case you want to make a new heating system installation where it never existed before, we will give you an advice regarding which one is the boiler that better suits the characteristics of your home. Not only will we consider the square footage of the flat, but also the heating output of the radiators that need to be installed, and the demand for HSW (hot sanitary water) that the flat requires.
In the following tabs you can see the main options we offer you.

The main options that we offer you
At JAG Alcaide we have been exclusive Junkers and Neckar installers in Barcelona since 1952 — over 70 years working with a single brand because it consistently delivers the best results. This means we know every model inside out, we can anticipate problems, and we offer real, specific advice rather than generic recommendations.
We install condensing boilers for all types of property: flats with a single bathroom, large homes with high hot water demand, urgent replacements and new builds. Before recommending any model, a technician assesses your current installation, the number of radiators, bathrooms and typical usage. The aim is to match you with the right output — not oversell capacity you do not need.
As an official Junkers Bosch service centre, we manage warranties directly with the manufacturer and have immediate access to original parts and replacements.
Wall-mounted gas heaters are the ideal solution when you want heating in one or more rooms without installing a central boiler or carrying out major building work. Each heater operates independently, allowing you to run only the rooms in use and set the temperature room by room.
We install them in flats with no central heating, commercial premises, rooms added to an existing property, or as a supplement in cold areas of the home. The installation only requires a gas supply point and a flue outlet to the exterior.
We work with Kromschroeder and Fondital, two manufacturers with a long track record in the Spanish market. During the preliminary visit we assess the space and available gas flow rate to ensure the chosen model performs correctly from day one.
Underfloor heating is the most efficient domestic heating system available. It heats from the floor upwards, distributing warmth evenly throughout the room with no draughts and no cold spots. It operates at lower water temperatures than conventional radiators, making it particularly well suited to condensing boilers and aerothermal heat pumps.
We install it in new builds and full renovations where the floor is being lifted. It is not a viable option in finished properties without building work, but whenever structural work is planned it is the system we consistently recommend for long-term performance.
The installation is calculated room by room, taking into account the orientation of the property, exterior walls and the intended use of each space. All pipework is copper and the layout is designed around the floor finishes planned by the client.
Electric thermal emitters are the solution for properties or commercial spaces without a gas supply, where building work is not possible, or where independent heating is needed in a specific area without connecting it to the central system.
They work by storing heat during off-peak electricity tariff hours (usually overnight) and releasing it gradually throughout the day. Current models allow hourly programming and ambient temperature control, which significantly improves efficiency compared to older generations.
We install them in both residential and commercial properties. Since no gas installation or building work is required, installation time is minimal and the impact on the property is virtually zero.
Any heating or hot water installation running on gas requires the supply line and internal pipework to be fully compliant: correct pressure, approved materials, accessible shut-off valves and a valid legalisation certificate.
At JAG Alcaide we carry out new gas installations, modifications to existing systems and official legalisation procedures. All our technicians hold a Category A gas installer licence — the highest qualification available in Spain — which authorises us to work on any type of installation regardless of pressure or complexity.
Whether you are replacing a boiler, carrying out a renovation or simply need a technician to inspect and certify your gas installation, we also handle all necessary paperwork with the distribution company when required.
If you live in Barcelona and are thinking about changing your home’s heating system, the first thing you should know is that you need to contact heating installers you trust, who offer the best results and solutions at a competitive price. We consider these to be some of the defining characteristics of JAG Alcaide, a company you can entrust with your heating-related work without any problems and with the assurance that the job will be done to the highest standard.
But what should a company have to become the best choice for heating installation in Barcelona?
We should always choose a company that offers us security, so the treatment from both its sales agents and later its technical staff should be friendly, always trying to explain even the less common terms in standardized language that everyone can understand, so that everyone knows exactly what will be done, what components will be installed, and why they will be positioned in a particular way. At Alcaide, we don’t have salespeople who are just trying to make a sale or maximize profit. What has allowed us to have over 60 years of experience and such a large client base is the importance we place on providing our clients with the most appropriate solutions for their installations.
Heating systems can be installed in many ways, so it’s always essential to find the most suitable method, taking into account the aesthetics and structure of the installation, correctly calculating the pipe width, and placing air vents where air may accumulate. Failing to have air vents in the correct locations can, in the long run, cause some radiators in the system to stop heating, in addition to continuous, annoying noises when the heating is turned on. Therefore, it’s important that before installing the heating system, a technician always visits the client’s home to design it according to the characteristics of the house, considering the coldest areas, interior walls, and exterior walls, etc.
Another fundamental aspect of heating system installation is choosing high-quality radiator materials, using copper pipes, and ensuring proper soldering. At JAG Alcaide, we always work with leading brands in the sector to avoid material damage that could lead to water leaks in the heating system and the resulting problems.
Meeting deadlines is also crucial. While it’s true that delays in material delivery are often beyond the control of the companies themselves, as this depends on the distributors, a company’s responsibility is to adhere to the installation timeline specified in the quote. Once the installation begins, it shouldn’t be delayed beyond the agreed-upon number of days. Of course, the company will always assure you that it will meet deadlines without issue, so it’s always a good idea to research other customers’ experiences with the company online. Customers often don’t leave reviews when they have a positive experience, but they frequently highlight the company’s poor performance when they encounter problems. At JAG Alcaide, we are proud to say that thanks to the experience accumulated over all these years, we always meet the established deadlines, and in most cases, we even manage to shorten them, without ever compromising the quality of the installation.
Warranty. It is essential that the installation company is also able to provide solutions should any problems arise with the heating system, boiler, or any of its components. This warranty usually has some limitations, so we must consider not only the warranty period but also what it actually covers. Misuse of the system or damage to the heating circuit is typically excluded from the warranty.
