Our Deep Knowledge of Burwood’s Unique Climate
Living in Burwood means dealing with Canterbury’s notorious nor’west winds, frosty winter mornings, and those unpredictable temperature swings that can catch you off guard. Your coastal location brings its own challenges too – from salt air affecting equipment to the need for systems that can handle humidity changes throughout the day.
I’ve been installing and servicing heat pumps in Burwood since 2015, and I’ve learned that cookie-cutter solutions just don’t work here. That’s why I take time to understand your specific home, from its orientation and insulation to your family’s heating patterns.
“Every Burwood home is different, and that’s why I never recommend a heat pump without seeing how your house sits, which way it faces, and understanding your family’s lifestyle,” I always tell my customers.

Common Heat Pump Questions from Burwood Residents
Q: Will the salt air from the coast affect my heat pump?
A: Yes, coastal locations do require special consideration. I recommend models with corrosion-resistant coatings and schedule more frequent maintenance to keep your system running optimally in Burwood’s coastal environment.
Q: How do I know if my older Burwood home needs electrical upgrades for a heat pump?
A: Many older homes in Burwood may need electrical work. As a registered electrician, I can assess your current wiring during the consultation and handle any necessary upgrades as part of the installation process.
Q: What’s the best heat pump for a home near the Avon River?
A: Homes near the river often experience higher humidity and temperature fluctuations. I typically recommend systems with good dehumidification capabilities and precise temperature control, like our Daikin or Mitsubishi Electric models.
Q: Can I use my heat pump during Christchurch’s power outages?
A: Standard heat pumps require electricity to operate. However, we can integrate your system with backup power solutions or solar battery systems for continued operation during outages.
Q: How often should I service my heat pump in Burwood’s coastal environment?
A: I recommend annual servicing for most homes, but coastal properties like those in Burwood may benefit from twice-yearly maintenance to handle salt air exposure and humidity changes.
Helpful Tips for Burwood Heat Pump Owners
- Clean your filters monthly, especially during high-use seasons, to maintain efficiency and air quality
- Keep your outdoor unit clear of vegetation and debris – coastal winds can blow sand and salt onto the unit
- Use the timer function to warm your home before you wake up or arrive home from work
- Set your temperature to 18-20°C for optimal comfort and efficiency
- Don’t block indoor units with furniture or curtains – they need good airflow to work properly
- Schedule professional maintenance before winter to catch any issues early
- Consider upgrading to a smart system if you have an older heat pump – the energy savings often pay for themselves
- Use your heat pump’s dehumidification function during Christchurch’s humid summer days
