Heat Pump Services Across Christchurch, We Know Every Corner of Canterbury
Looking for local heat pump experts who actually understand your neighborhood? You’ve come to the right place. At Heat Pump HQ, we’ve been sorting out heating and cooling across Christchurch for over 10 years, and there’s honestly nowhere in Canterbury we haven’t been.
“I’ve installed heat pumps everywhere from character villas in Merivale to new builds in Rolleston, and every area has its own quirks. That’s why local knowledge matters,” says Nate Thompson, founder of Heat Pump HQ.
From those windy western suburbs that cop the nor’westers to the coastal areas dealing with salt air, we know what works where. Our local team understands your specific conditions and can get you set up with the perfect system for your patch.

Why Location Matters for Heat Pumps
Climate Variations Across Christchurch
“People don’t realise how much microclimates vary across Christchurch. Sumner might be 5 degrees warmer than Yaldhurst on the same day, and that affects which heat pump system works best,” explains Nate Thompson.
Coastal areas like New Brighton and Sumner deal with salt air that can affect outdoor units, plus they’re generally milder but more humid.
Hill suburbs like Cashmere and Mount Pleasant get temperature inversions and can be significantly colder than flat areas.
Western suburbs cop the nor’west winds but also get excellent sun exposure, affecting heating and cooling needs.
Eastern areas get the morning sun first but can be cooler in the afternoons.

- Heritage homes in Fendalton and Merivale often need careful placement to preserve character
