I’ve been doing heat pumps in Fendalton for years now. When it’s freezing cold in winter or stinking hot in summer, you need something that works.
If you want it done right, call me on 03 242 1023.
Most of the jobs I do in Fendalton are because someone’s had enough of their old system playing up. Last month I replaced a unit for a family on Clyde Road, their old one packed it in during that cold snap we had. The week before that, it was a place on Glandovey Road where the previous installer had botched the job completely.
I don’t do fancy sales pitches. I come look at your place, tell you what you need, give you a fair price. No nonsense.

Our Local Expertise in Fendalton
Fendalton’s tree-lined streets and established homes present unique heating challenges. Many of your neighbours live in beautiful older homes with high ceilings and large windows, which can make heating efficiently quite tricky.
I’ve worked in dozens of Fendalton homes and understand the specific challenges you face. The mature trees that make your neighbourhood so beautiful can also block winter sun, while those gorgeous character features like bay windows and high ceilings can make traditional heating systems work overtime.
“Every Fendalton home tells a story, and I make sure the heating solution I recommend respects that story while delivering modern comfort and efficiency,” says Nate Thompson, founder of Heat Pump HQ.
Canterbury’s nor’west winds can be particularly challenging in your area, and I’ve learned exactly how to position and size heat pumps to handle these conditions effectively.

Common Heat Pump Questions from Fendalton Residents
Absolutely! High ceilings actually help with heat distribution once we size the system correctly. I recommend units with good air throw patterns and sometimes suggest ceiling fans to help circulate the warm air more effectively.
This depends on your home’s layout and how you use different rooms. Many Fendalton homes benefit from a multi-room system because you can control different zones independently, saving energy in unused areas.
In Fendalton’s close-knit community, we’re extra careful about placement. We typically recommend positioning units away from bedrooms and living areas, using sound barriers if needed, and choosing quieter models like Mitsubishi Electric’s whisper-quiet range.
Yes, this is often a smart approach in larger Fendalton homes. We can design hybrid systems that use your existing ducts while adding the efficiency of heat pump technology.
I recommend annual servicing, with an additional check before winter. Canterbury’s dusty nor’west winds and temperature extremes mean your filters and coils need regular attention to maintain peak performance.
Helpful Tips for Fendalton Homeowners
Here are some insider tips I’ve learned from years of working in your neighbourhood:
- Plan for Canterbury’s extreme weather – Size your system for the coldest days, not average temperatures
- Consider your mature trees – They’re beautiful but can block winter sun and affect system performance
- Don’t ignore your home’s character – Modern systems can be installed sensitively in heritage homes
- Think about zones – Multi-room systems let you heat only the areas you’re using
- Regular maintenance pays off – Canterbury’s dusty conditions mean filters need frequent attention
- Position matters – Outdoor units should be sheltered from nor’west winds where possible
- Consider smart controls – Perfect for busy professionals who want to arrive home to comfort
- Don’t forget about cooling – Our hot summers are getting hotter, so plan for year-round use
The key to success with any heating system in Canterbury is understanding that our climate is unique. We get everything from snow to 35-degree days, often in the same month!
