Why Heat Pumps Make Sense in Addington
Slash Those Power Bills
The beauty of energy efficient heat pumps is they’re really efficient in our climate. For every unit of power they use, they pump out 4-5 units of heat. Most of our customers see their heating costs drop by a third to half after switching to a decent heat pump.
We can even do an energy efficiency assessment of your home to find where you’re losing heat and help with efficiency upgrades.
And here’s something not everyone knows – you might qualify for a heat pump subsidy, which could save you even more money on your installation.
Made for Our Mad Weather
Let’s face it, Christchurch weather is all over the show. One day scorching, next day freezing. Our cold climate heat pumps handle it all – they’ll keep you toasty on those frosty mornings and cool during those northwesterly scorchers. Our low temperature heat pumps are designed specifically to work efficiently even when it’s brass monkeys outside.
Plus, they’re brilliant at dehumidifying the air on those damp, foggy days, which keeps the mould at bay in those classic old Addington villas.
One System Does It All
Unlike your gran’s old electric heater that just pumps out hot air, heat pumps sort you out year-round. They’ll warm you up in winter and cool you down in summer. Easy as. Curious about how heat pumps work? We’re always happy to explain the science behind these brilliant machines.
Solutions For Every Type of Addington Home
Old Character Homes

Living in a shoebox? No drama. We’ve got compact, whisper-quiet heat pumps that’ll keep your space comfortable without dominating the room or keeping the neighbours up. Not sure what size you need? Check out our handy heat pump sizing guide or use our single room heat pump calculator.
Rentals and Investment Properties
Landlords, listen up – chuck a heat pump in your rental and watch the tenant applications roll in. Not only will you meet those Healthy Homes standards and building codes, but you can probably bump the rent up a bit too. Win-win.
Breathe Easier with Better Air Quality
If you or your family suffer from allergies or asthma, our allergy and asthma solutions can make a world of difference. We can even perform air quality testing in your home to identify potential issues and recommend the best system to address them.
Our heat pumps don’t just circulate the same stale air – they filter out dust, pollen, and other nasties. Plus, our heat pump deodorising service keeps your system smelling fresh as a daisy.
Questions We Get All The Time
“What size heat pump do I need?”
Honestly, it depends. How big’s your place? How’s the insulation? High ceilings? Loads of windows? Our team will pop round, have a proper look, and work out exactly what you need. We’ll even help with heat pump zoning for larger homes. No point getting something too small that struggles, or too big that costs you more than needed.
You can work it out yourself with our handy DIY heat pump sizing calculator.
“How much is it gonna set me back?”
For a basic single-room setup in an Addington home, you’re looking at roughly $2,500-$3,500 including GST. Multi-room systems cost more, obviously. We’ll give you a clear quote after checking out your place – no nasty surprises.
“How often should I get it serviced?”
Once a year at a minimum, ideally with our winterisation service before the cold hits. If you’ve got pets shedding fur everywhere or live on a dusty street, maybe twice a year. Regular heat pump servicing keeps your system running longer and better, saving you money in the long run.
“Will it actually handle those freezing Christchurch mornings?”
Too right they will. The modern units are super good, even when it’s properly cold out. They’ll keep cranking out the heat even when there’s frost on the ground. We’ll help you choose the right type of heat pump for your specific needs.
“Which brand’s best for round here?”
We fit Mitsubishi, Fujitsu, Panasonic, and Daikin – all solid performers in our climate. Check out our heat pump brands comparison to see the differences. Each has their strengths, and we can help you pick which one suits your needs and your wallet best.
Going Green with Your Heat Pump
For the environmentally-minded, we offer ENERGY STAR qualified heat pumps and can even help with solar-powered heat pump integration if you’re looking to reduce your carbon footprint even further. We can also perform a heat pump carbon footprint analysis to show you exactly how much you’re helping the planet.
Keep track of your system’s performance with our energy consumption monitoring solutions.
