Heating and hot water solutions in Demre
Demre is an Antalya district without a natural gas network. Its small-scale settlement pattern, farming and greenhouse-based economy, and its mix of standalone houses and low-rise apartments give it a different profile from the larger central districts. Most homes here currently heat with LPG boilers, radiator boiler systems, or electric heaters; Devka Doğalgaz brings Vaillant aroTHERM heat pumps alongside traditional radiator/boiler installation.
Quick comparison: heat pump vs LPG boiler
| Criteria | Heat pump | LPG boiler |
|---|---|---|
| Fuel/energy | Electricity | LPG (bottle/tank) |
| Running cost | Usually lower, depends on electricity tariff | Depends on LPG price, can fluctuate |
| Best paired with | Underfloor heating / oversized radiators | Standard radiators |
Heat pump or boiler system?
For new builds or homes undergoing major renovation, a heat pump is generally the better choice for running cost and maintenance simplicity. For homes with an existing radiator boiler that don't want a major upfront investment right now, servicing the current boiler - or replacing it with a new combi unit - can be the faster fix. We help decide which path fits during the site visit, based on the existing system and budget.
Practical installation in a small settlement
Demre has a high share of standalone houses with gardens, which usually gives flexible options for the outdoor unit - garden or side wall placement is common. For homes near greenhouse zones, we keep the unit away from dust and agricultural spraying, in a spot that's easy to clean regularly.
Hot water needs
In homes with a heat pump, hot water can be supplied through an integrated storage cylinder. For homes keeping their existing LPG boiler, maintenance and repair service keeps hot water output efficient.
Standalone houses and low-rise apartments
Demre's building stock is largely standalone houses and low-rise apartments; large gated complexes are rarer here than in the coastal centres. That means radiator and heat pump installation can usually be planned for a single unit without involving neighbouring flats. In low-rise apartments without a shared riser, each unit typically has its own heating system, so we size the unit to that flat's specific needs.
Maintenance priorities for a more remote district
Being some distance from central Antalya, we keep commonly needed spare parts on hand to avoid delays if something breaks down. Customers who book a pre-winter maintenance visit significantly reduce the risk of an unexpected breakdown during the cold months.
How the process works
We start with a phone call to clarify your needs, then schedule an on-site survey. During the visit we assess the existing installation, electrical capacity and heat loss, then provide a written quote; once approved, we complete installation and commissioning.
Why Devka Doğalgaz
As a Vaillant authorised dealer, we handle installation and commissioning ourselves, so your device warranty registers without issue; we also provide a written warranty for our workmanship and installation. We hold the same certified team and material standard in Demre as anywhere else in our service area, even though it's further from central Antalya.
Pre-winter checklist
- Clean dust and leaf build-up off the outdoor unit / heat exchanger
- Bleed air from the boiler and radiators (a radiator that's cold at the top usually has trapped air)
- Check expansion tank pressure
- Set the thermostat/control unit schedule for winter
- If running a boiler, check the flue and combustion efficiency
Doing these checks once a year, ideally in autumn, significantly cuts the risk of an unexpected mid-winter breakdown.

Frequently asked questions
Is there natural gas in Demre, or is it coming soon?
No, Demre currently has no natural gas distribution network and no confirmed date for one. It is more realistic to plan heating around an LPG boiler, a radiator boiler system, or a heat pump.
Can a heat pump be installed near a greenhouse-farming area?
Yes - a residential heat pump has nothing to do with greenhouse heating; they are entirely separate systems. For homes near greenhouses, we position the outdoor unit somewhere well-ventilated and away from dust or agricultural spraying.
Can I keep my existing radiators with a heat pump?
Usually yes. The aroTHERM plus can produce flow temperatures up to 75°C, so it can run on an existing radiator system; we check radiator sizing and pipe diameter during the site visit to confirm the best result.
