Heat Pump Installation in Nelson Done Properly

Good heat pump installation in Nelson starts with sizing the unit to your home, not the room. We measure heat loss, pick the right model for coastal air, place the outdoor unit well, and fit it tidily. That's what gives you reliable morning warmth without a power bill that stings.

Sizing the heat pump to your home, not just the room

Nelson's cold, still dawns and frost are the real test. A unit that looks fine on paper can fall behind at 6am if it was picked off a shelf instead of matched to your home. That's why we work out how much heat your rooms actually lose before we quote anything.

A single-glazed villa in The Wood or Washington Valley loses heat fast through the windows and gaps, so it needs more grunt than the same-sized room in a tighter modern Richmond or Stoke build. Getting that right matters more than the brand on the box or chasing the biggest unit. You can get a rough idea with our heat pump sizing calculator, then we'll confirm it on site.

There's no single best model either. We'll walk you through the types of heat pump that suit your layout, whether that's a high-wall in the living room or something to reach through the house.

Coastal salt air and choosing a unit that lasts

If you're in Tahunanui or Atawhai, salt air is hard on outdoor units. Standard coils and cabinets corrode faster near the coast, so we spec models built for it and give the unit the best shot by keeping it out of the worst of the spray and weather.

It's a small decision at install time that saves you an early replacement. We'd rather point you at the right unit now than have you back in a few years with a rusted-out coil.

How the fitting works, start to finish

We fit the indoor and outdoor units, run and lag the pipework, wire it in through a registered electrician, then vacuum and test the system before we hand it over. We tidy up as we go, so you're not left with a mess or brackets bolted on wherever was easiest.

A neat, well-flashed install keeps water out and keeps the unit running quietly for years. It's the part that separates a heat pump that just works from one that drips, rattles or short-cycles. When we're done we show you how to run it so it's cheap to keep warm.

Before you commit, it's worth reading up on installation cost so there are no surprises, and checking whether you qualify for the Warmer Kiwi Homes grant, which covers a share of an approved heat pump for eligible homeowners. You apply through EECA, not us.

Supply and install across Nelson, Richmond and Motueka

We supply and fit the whole system, so you deal with one team from the first quote to the final test. We cover installation across Nelson and out through Stoke, Richmond and Motueka.

Because we handle both the gear and the fit, we're the ones who look after it afterwards too. We only carry out heat pump servicing on units we installed, so keeping ours running well is on us.
