Solutions for Every Space

Systems We Install

Every home and business is different. We install a full range of heat pump types so we can recommend the right system for your specific needs — not a one-size-fits-all solution.

Hi-Wall Units

The most popular choice for New Zealand homes. Hi-wall heat pumps deliver efficient heating and cooling to individual rooms with whisper-quiet operation. Modern inverter technology adjusts output to match demand, keeping energy bills low while maintaining a consistent temperature.

Ducted Systems

Whole-home climate control through a network of concealed ducts in your ceiling space. One system heats and cools every room with zone control, giving you the ability to set different temperatures in different areas. The ideal solution for new builds and major renovations.

Cassette Units

Ceiling-mounted units that deliver powerful 360-degree airflow, making them perfect for open-plan living areas, offices, and commercial spaces. Cassette systems sit flush with the ceiling for a clean, unobtrusive look while providing even air distribution throughout the room.

Floor Console

Low-profile units that sit at floor level, making them ideal for rooms without suitable wall space or where you prefer the warm air to rise naturally. Floor consoles are a great option for bedrooms, conservatories, and homes with large glass windows.

Common Questions

Heat Pump FAQ

How much does a heat pump cost to install in the Waikato?
The cost of a heat pump installation in Te Awamutu and the wider Waikato depends on the type of system, the size of the space, and the complexity of the installation. A single hi-wall unit for a bedroom or living room typically starts from around $2,500 to $4,500 fully installed. Ducted whole-home systems range from $10,000 to $25,000+ depending on the number of zones and the size of the home. We provide free, no-obligation quotes so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
What is the best heat pump brand in New Zealand?
As a Hitachi authorized installer, we recommend Hitachi heat pumps for their reliability, energy efficiency, and build quality. Hitachi systems are manufactured in Japan and consistently rank among the top performers in independent testing. Their inverter compressors are exceptionally quiet and deliver precise temperature control. That said, the best system for you depends on your specific needs — we will always recommend the right solution for your space, not the most expensive one.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
A standard hi-wall heat pump installation typically takes 3 to 5 hours, including mounting the indoor unit, positioning the outdoor unit, running refrigerant lines, and completing the electrical connection. Ducted systems take longer — usually 2 to 4 days depending on the number of zones and whether ductwork needs to be installed in the ceiling space. We always discuss the timeline during your free consultation so you can plan accordingly.
How often should I service my heat pump?
We recommend a professional service at least once a year to keep your heat pump running efficiently and to maintain your warranty. During a service, we clean filters and coils, check refrigerant levels, inspect electrical connections, and test the system performance. Between professional services, you should clean or vacuum your indoor filters every 4 to 6 weeks — it takes two minutes and makes a real difference to airflow and efficiency. Regular maintenance can extend the life of your system from 10 years to 15 years or more.
