Why New Plymouth homeowners choose us
We're local, we know Taranaki homes, and we'd rather size a heat pump right than sell you the biggest box on the shelf.
Local to Taranaki
We work across greater New Plymouth every day, from the coast at Oakura to Bell Block and inland to Inglewood, so we know how these homes heat and hold damp.
Sized for your home, not oversold
The right size beats brand or grunt every time. We work out what your rooms actually need, so you're not paying to run a unit that's too big.
Built for the salt air
Coastal siting matters here. We mount and site outdoor units to shrug off salt-laden westerlies, then show you how a quick rinse keeps them going.
Honest, fixed quotes
You get a clear fixed price before we start, with the things that affect it explained plainly. A tidy install matters more than the cheapest sticker.
We back our own work
We install, service and repair only the systems we fit, so there's no passing the buck later. That's our guarantee, plain and simple.
Damp, not just cold
Most Taranaki homes battle lingering moisture more than frost. We choose and set up units that dry the air and clear those cold, damp mornings.
Brands we install
We install all the major brands and match the unit to your home and budget, never a one-size-fits-all deal. From premium Mitsubishi Electric and Daikin to strong-value Fujitsu, Panasonic and Hitachi.

Common questions
How much does a heat pump cost in New Plymouth?
Most single-room high-wall heat pumps run from about $2,200 to $6,000 supplied and installed, depending on the size of the unit and the room. Multi-room and ducted systems cost more. Our installation cost guide breaks down the ranges, and the Warmer Kiwi Homes grant can cover 90% of an eligible heat pump up to a $3,450 cap for older homes.
What is the best heat pump for a New Plymouth home?
There's no single best heat pump. Getting the size right for your room matters more than the brand or sheer grunt. Reliable choices include Mitsubishi Electric heat pumps and Daikin heat pumps, with strong-value options too. Older bungalows with little wall space often suit floor console heat pumps, while open-plan homes suit high-wall or ducted. Browse the types of heat pump, or use our heat pump sizing calculator to find your fit.
Do heat pumps work well in damp coastal climates?
Yes, and here they earn their keep. A well-sized heat pump warms the room and pulls moisture out of the air, which is exactly what most damp Taranaki homes need. The same unit doubles as air conditioning to cool and dehumidify muggy summers. Regular heat pump servicing keeps it running well in the salt air.
How long does a heat pump last near the sea?
A quality unit will typically last 10 to 15 years or more, but salt air is hard on outdoor units near the coast. Careful, corrosion-resistant siting during the heat pump installation, plus a regular rinse of the outdoor coil, makes a real difference to how long it lasts. That's why we mount coastal units with a bit more thought.
