In western Alpes-Maritimes, temperature differences between the seafront and the heights of Grasse or Saint-Vallier-de-Thiey are noticeable. Choosing a heat pump is therefore done case by case.
Constraints specific to the area
On the Cannes and Antibes coast, many homes are in condominiums: installing an outdoor unit often requires the condominium’s agreement and compliance with façade appearance rules.
Around Grasse and Sophia Antipolis, detached villas heated by oil, gas or direct electricity are numerous. A heat pump is often relevant there, provided insulation and emitters are checked.
What we check in this area
- Winter temperatures according to the commune’s altitude
- Condominium agreement and façade appearance rules
- Compatibility of existing emitters
- Home insulation and real heating needs
- Position of the outdoor unit on sometimes sloping plots

Frequently asked questions
Do you work in the hills above Grasse?
Yes, the Grasse area is part of our service area. Sizing takes the lower temperatures at altitude into account.
Can my condominium refuse the outdoor unit?
The condominium rules and the owners’ meeting can govern or refuse a visible installation. We help you prepare the request.

Financial aid: whether aid exists, its amount and your eligibility depend on your situation (income, status, type of home), on the technical characteristics of the project and on the schemes in force at the time of the study. We check these points with you; no aid is guaranteed in advance.
