Heat pump installers by town in New Zealand

Most heat pump installers work within about half an hour of their base, so the best place to start is your own town. The ones who clearly install heat pumps are at the top. If your town isn't shown, pick the nearest one.

Heat pump services in New Zealand

All heat pump services

Not every installer does every kind of job. Some only fit high-wall units, others specialise in ducted systems, and a few do nothing but cleaning and servicing. Pick the job and you'll only see the people who say they do it.

How we vet every heat pump installer

Every business goes through the same four steps before it appears here, whether it's one person with a van or a big company. Getting listed is free. A business can pay to be shown first in its town or to add its own photos, and those spots are always labelled, but paying never changes its rating, its reviews or what we write about its work.

  1. 1

    Start with Google

    We start with every business Google lists as an air conditioning or heating contractor anywhere in New Zealand.

  2. 2

    Take out the ones that don't fit

    Then we take out anything closed, doubled up, without a single review or not updated in a year, plus other trades like car air con and wood fires.

  3. 3

    Read each website

    We read each business's own website to see what heat pump work it actually does, from high-wall units to ducted systems and servicing.

  4. 4

    Never guess

    If a website doesn't mention a service, the listing says so. We'd rather tell you we don't know than guess.

If you own one of these businesses, you can claim your listing to fix the details or add photos, and a person checks every claim.

How to choose a heat pump installer in New Zealand

A heat pump above a window in a cosy lounge on a frosty morning

Choosing a heat pump installer comes down to three things: who connects it, what size unit goes in, and where the outdoor unit sits. Get those right and the brand on the front matters less than most quotes make out.

Before anyone gives you a price, have them come and look at the room. A good installer asks about the size of the space, the windows, how well the house holds its heat and when you'll run it, and tells you why they've picked that size. If someone quotes over the phone without asking any of that, keep looking. The steps below cover the rest, using what councils, WorkSafe and EECA say rather than sales talk.

  1. Check the electrician

    Connecting a fixed heat pump is prescribed electrical work. The person who does it must be registered with the Electrical Workers Registration Board and hold a current practising licence. Ask to see the licence card, check the expiry date, and look the person up on the board's public register by name or registration number.

  2. Know what the council needs

    A heat pump that heats your home doesn't usually need a building consent. Councils from Auckland to Central Otago say so, as long as a registered electrician connects it. The outdoor unit still has to meet your district plan's noise rules, so ask the installer where it will go and how it will be mounted.

  3. Compare like with like

    EECA's Zoned Energy Rating Label shows heating capacity at 7°C and 2°C outside, and more stars means more efficient. The right size depends on the room and its windows, so compare quotes for units of the same kW size. Read the service grid on each listing to see who does high-wall, ducted, multi-room and floor console work. Ask each installer to put the model number on the quote, so you can look up its label and compare it yourself.

  4. Ask these on the first call

    • Who does the electrical connection, and their registration number
    • Which model, the kW at 7°C and 2°C, and the star rating
    • Where the outdoor unit will sit, and how it is mounted
    • What the warranty covers, on the unit and on the installation
    • Whether you will get a Certificate of Compliance

    Get every quote itemised and in writing, and compare them line by line. Under the Consumer Guarantees Act the work must be done with reasonable care and skill.

For landlords

Meet the Healthy Homes heating standard

If you rent out a property, it needs at least one fixed heater of 1.5 kW or more that can heat the main living room directly, and a heat pump has to have a thermostat. The Heating Assessment Tool on tenancy.govt.nz works out how much heating the room needs.

Heat pump questions from New Zealand homeowners

These are the questions people ask most before they get a heat pump put in. Each answer comes from council, WorkSafe or Tenancy Services information, not from someone trying to sell you a unit.

Does installing a heat pump need a building consent?

Usually not. Councils around the country, from Auckland to Christchurch and Central Otago, say a heat pump that heats your home doesn't need a building consent, as long as a registered electrician connects it and certifies the work. The outdoor unit still has to meet your district plan's noise rules, so ask your council if you are unsure.

Who is allowed to connect a heat pump?

Connecting a fixed heat pump is prescribed electrical work. Anyone paid to do it must be registered with the Electrical Workers Registration Board and hold a current practising licence, and they must give you a Certificate of Compliance for the wiring.

How do I check an installer's electrician?

Search the Electrical Workers Registration Board's public register by name or by the registration number on their licence card. It shows whether the person is registered and licensed, their licence history and any discipline in the last three years.

How do you choose which heat pump installers to include?

We start from public business records and keep the businesses that are open, have reviews and do this work. Each description is written from the business's own website. If you own one of these businesses, you can claim your listing to fix details or add photos.

Do businesses pay to be listed?

No. A basic listing is free and stays free. Businesses can pay for a Verified check or a Featured spot, and those are always labelled.
