Family Values at the Heart of Our Business

Our Story

Built on Trust, Driven by Expertise

King Cooling & Heat Pumps was founded in 2008 by Brad Johanson with a simple belief: that Waikato families and businesses deserve reliable, honest climate control services from people who genuinely care.

With over 18 years of hands-on experience in refrigeration and HVAC, Brad built the company from the ground up — starting with a ute and a toolbox in Te Awamutu. Today, King Cooling serves the entire Waikato region, from residential heat pump installations to complex dairy refrigeration systems.

As a family business, we treat every customer's home or farm like it's our own. We don't cut corners, we don't oversell, and we always stand behind our work. That's the King Cooling promise.
