About our servicing
Air conditioning
A heat pump is reverse-cycle air conditioning, so one system cools your home through hot nor'west summers as well as heating it.

Why Christchurch homeowners choose us
We're a local Christchurch team who size and fit heat pumps for the way Canterbury homes actually live, from frosty plains mornings to hot nor'west afternoons.
Sized right, not by guesswork
The size of the unit matters more than the badge on it. We work out the real capacity your rooms need for a hard frost, so your home actually heats instead of struggling on the coldest mornings.
A tidy, careful install
A neat install lasts longer and runs better than a cheap rushed one. We take the time to place pipework and units well, so it looks right and performs for years, not just on day one.
We stand behind our own work
We install heat pumps and we service the ones we install, so the same team that fits your system is the one you call later. That's our promise, not a sales line.

We fit all the major brands, from premium Mitsubishi Electric and Daikin to solid value options, and we'll tell you honestly which one suits your home and budget.
Clear, fixed pricing
You get a clear fixed price for your home before any work starts, so there are no surprises once the job is done.

Areas we cover
We install and service heat pumps right across greater Christchurch, from the central city and eastern suburbs out to Rangiora, North Canterbury, Rolleston and the wider Selwyn district.
Christchurch city
From Riccarton and Papanui to Cashmere and the eastern suburbs, we handle heat pump installation for post-quake rebuilds and older single-glazed bungalows alike.
Rangiora & North Canterbury
Frost pools hard on the plains north of the Waimakariri, so we size for cold starts on heat pumps in Rangiora & North Canterbury, from new Pegasus builds to rural lifestyle blocks.
Rolleston & Selwyn
Selwyn's fast-growing estates catch dry nor'westers and hard frosts, so we focus on frost-mode performance for heat pumps in Rolleston & Selwyn and older Lincoln cottages.
Common questions
Are heat pumps good for cold Christchurch winters?
Yes. A properly sized heat pump handles Christchurch's hard overnight frosts and sub-zero mornings well, as long as it is a cold-climate model matched to your home. On frosty starts you need more capacity than the nameplate suggests, so getting the size right matters more than the brand. Our heat pump sizing calculator gets you close, and our heat pump servicing keeps it performing right through winter.
How much does a heat pump cost in Christchurch?
Most single-room high-wall heat pumps run between $2,000 and $6,000 supplied and installed, depending on the size and how tricky the job is. Whole-home ducted systems start around $12,000. The final figure comes down to your home, so check our full installation cost guide, see whether the Warmer Kiwi Homes grant could help, and get a free quote for a fixed price.
Which heat pump brand is best in New Zealand?
There's no single best brand. For hard Canterbury frosts we often fit Mitsubishi Electric heat pumps and Daikin heat pumps at the premium end for their low-temperature output, alongside solid mid-range and value options. What matters far more is correct sizing and a tidy install for your home. Compare the different types of heat pump and we'll match one to your rooms and budget.
Can a heat pump cool my home in summer?
Yes. A heat pump is a reverse-cycle air conditioning unit, so the same system that warms your home in winter cools it through hot, dry nor'west summers. For open-plan living, ducted heat pumps heat and cool the whole house evenly. We install across the areas we serve, from the central city out to the Canterbury plains.
