Our Local Knowledge Makes All the Difference

Templeton sits in an interesting spot, just inland from the coast but close enough to feel those temperature swings that make Canterbury weather so unpredictable. I’ve been installing heat pumps here for years, and I understand how the local conditions affect system performance.

The rural feel of Templeton means many homes have unique heating challenges. Some properties are larger, some have older insulation, and many residents want systems that can handle both the frosty winter mornings and those surprisingly hot summer days we get.

“I always tell my Templeton customers that the key is choosing a system that’s sized correctly for your specific home, not just going with the cheapest option,” I explain to clients during consultations. “A properly sized system will save you money in the long run.”

What Our Customers Say About Our Work

“Nate and his team were fantastic from start to finish. They took time to explain exactly what size system I needed for my home and didn’t try to oversell me on features I didn’t need. The installation was clean and professional, and they even showed me how to use the app to control the system remotely.

Common Heat Pump Questions from Templeton Residents

How well do heat pumps work in Templeton’s windy conditions?

Heat pumps actually handle wind quite well, but proper installation is crucial. We always consider your property’s exposure to Canterbury’s nor’west winds when positioning the outdoor unit. Strategic placement and quality mounting prevent vibration and noise issues that can occur with poor installation.

Can a heat pump heat my whole house from one unit?

It depends on your home’s size and layout. Many Templeton homes can be heated effectively with a single well-sized unit, especially if you have good insulation and an open-plan design. For larger homes or those with separate living areas, a multi-room system might be more efficient.

What size heat pump do I need for a typical Templeton home?

Most Templeton homes suit a 7-9kW heat pump for main living areas, but this varies significantly based on insulation, ceiling height, and window placement. We always do a proper assessment rather than guess, because an incorrectly sized system will cost you more to run and won’t keep you comfortable.

Are heat pumps worth it if I already have a fireplace?

Absolutely. Many of our Templeton customers use their heat pump as primary heating and keep their fireplace for ambiance and backup heating. Heat pumps are much more convenient for everyday use, and you’ll save money on firewood while having cleaner air in your home.

Practical Tips for Getting the Most from Your Heat Pump

After installing hundreds of heat pumps in Templeton, I’ve learned what really makes a difference to system performance and running costs:

• Set your temperature to 20-22°C for the best balance of comfort and efficiency
• Clean your filters monthly during heavy use periods, especially in dusty rural areas
• Keep curtains and blinds closed during the day in summer to reduce cooling load
• Use a timer to start heating 30 minutes before you wake up or come home
• Don’t constantly adjust the temperature, let the system maintain a steady level
• Clear leaves and debris from around your outdoor unit regularly
• Have your system serviced annually to maintain efficiency and catch problems early
• Consider upgrading your insulation if your heat pump is working too hard

“The biggest mistake I see is people turning their heat pump on and off constantly,” I often tell customers. “These systems work best when they can maintain a steady temperature rather than trying to heat a cold house from scratch every day.”
