Dealing with Our Unique Local Climate

Handling the Seasons

Being on Christchurch’s western edge means this area cops some specific weather patterns. Our recommendations take these local conditions into account for the best performance year-round.

For winter, we consider:

• Systems sized to handle those westerly winter winds
• Cold-climate performance so it works even on those frosty mornings
• Defrost cycles tuned for local humidity
• Backup heating options for the really cold snaps

For summer, we look at:

• Cooling that can handle warm, dry summer days
• Dehumidification for when it gets sticky
• Energy-efficient cooling so your power bill doesn’t skyrocket
• Air filtering for when the nor’wester brings in dust and pollen

This seasonal approach makes sure your system performs sweet as, no matter what’s happening outside.

Local Environmental Factors

The mix of homes and industrial areas in Hornby creates some unique environmental considerations when choosing and installing heat pumps. Our recommendations take these factors into account to give you the most appropriate system for your specific spot.

We think about:

• Air quality for properties near the industrial zones
• Noise reduction for systems in those more packed residential areas
• Placement of outdoor units to protect them from the elements
• Filter options for properties near Main South Road or other busy routes
• Wind protection for those exposed western locations

These thoughtful touches ensure your system performs reliably despite whatever local challenges your specific location might have.

Questions People Often Ask Us

“Why are heat pumps so good for homes in this area?”

Heat pumps are incredibly efficient and versatile, which is perfect for our local climate. They both heat and cool from a single system, giving you year-round comfort without chewing through power. For newer homes with decent insulation, they can slash heating costs by up to 75% compared to those old electric heaters.

They’re also choice at keeping an even temperature despite Christchurch’s sometimes rapid weather changes, which is particularly handy in our more exposed western spots.

“How do I know what size heat pump I need?”

Getting the right size depends on a few things – room size, insulation, windows, and how you use the space. Our techs will come round and do a proper assessment of your place to figure out the perfect size.

We particularly think about exposure to those prevailing winds, afternoon sun on western walls, and ceiling heights to make sure your system can handle both the freezing winter mornings and scorching summer afternoons.

“How long will it take to install?”

Most homes get sorted within a day, with standard systems usually taking 4-6 hours from when we arrive to when we leave. More complex multi-room setups might take 1-2 days depending on what’s involved.

For businesses, we’ll work out a custom timeline based on how complex your system is, with detailed planning to minimize any disruption to your operations.

“How often should I get it serviced?”

For local conditions, we reckon you should get professional servicing at least once a year, ideally before winter hits. If you’re near the industrial areas or main roads, you might benefit from more frequent filter cleaning because of the extra dust and gunk in the air.

Our maintenance agreements include scheduled service with reminders, so you don’t have to remember when it’s due.

“Will a heat pump actually work in our winter?”

Too right they will! Modern heat pumps are designed specifically to handle Christchurch’s climate. The systems we install work brilliantly even during the coldest winter days, and we’ve got specialised cold-climate models for particularly exposed spots.

Even on those frosty mornings, these systems quickly warm your place up while using way less power than traditional heating.
