Servicing and repairs
Cleaning, filter checks and repairs to keep the units we install running efficiently, and to keep salt-air corrosion off coastal outdoor units.
About our servicing
Air conditioning
A heat pump is a reverse-cycle air conditioner, so the same unit that warms you in winter cools the house through our long, muggy summers.
About air conditioningThe Warmer Kiwi Homes grant could cover most of your heat pump
For eligible owner-occupied homes built before 2008, the Warmer Kiwi Homes programme covers up to 90% of an approved heat pump, capped at $3,450 including GST. If you hold a Community Services Card or live in a higher-need area, it's well worth checking.

Why Tauranga homeowners choose us
We're a local team who knows Bay of Plenty homes, from salt-air coastal streets to cold valley suburbs, and we'd rather do one job properly than rush ten.
We know the Bay's homes
Older single-glazed timber bungalows and tightly insulated new builds heat very differently. We size for the home in front of us, not a rule of thumb.
Sized right, not just big
A correctly sized unit heats better and runs cheaper than an oversized one. Getting the size right matters more than the brand or the grunt of the unit.
Built for salt air
Homes at Mount Maunganui and Papamoa Beach cop salt-laden air year-round. We fit corrosion-rated units so your outdoor unit lasts the distance.
Honest, fixed quotes
You get a clear fixed price before we start, with the trade-offs explained plainly. A tidy install matters far more than the cheapest sticker price.
We back our own work
We install and service our own systems, so there's no passing the buck. That own-work-only approach is our promise that the job is done properly.
Warm and dry, not just warm
Our humid winters breed damp and condensation even when it's mild. The right heat pump dries the house out as well as heating it.
Brands we install
We install all the major brands and match the unit to your home and budget, not the other way round. Every model we fit can be specified with salt-air coil protection for coastal streets.

Areas we cover
We cover greater Tauranga and the western Bay of Plenty, from the harbour suburbs to the coast and out to the western towns.
Tauranga city
Central suburbs like Ōtūmoetai, Greerton and Bellevue are full of older single-glazed bungalows that often start with no fixed heating, and their ageing units are prime for heat pump servicing.
Mount Maunganui & the coast
Salt-laden air along the ocean front corrodes cheap outdoor units, so we fit corrosion-rated models here. Contact our Tauranga team for a free coastal site visit.
Papamoa & the subdivisions
Fast-growing new builds in Papamoa, Pyes Pā and Tauriko are often sized for ducted heat pumps from the outset, giving discreet whole-home comfort.
Western Bay of Plenty
We cover Te Puke, Katikati and Ōmokoroa too. See all the areas we serve across the western Bay.
Common questions
How much does a heat pump cost in NZ?
It depends on the unit size and your home, but a straightforward high-wall heat pump supplied and installed usually runs from about $2,000 to $2,900, with larger or multi-room systems costing more. Our installation cost guide lays out the real fitted prices, the Warmer Kiwi Homes grant can cover up to 90% of an approved heat pump for eligible homes, and the heat pump sizing calculator helps you get the size right first.
What is the best heat pump brand in New Zealand?
There's no single best brand. The right one depends on your rooms, your budget and how the unit will be used. We fit all the major brands and match them to your home, from Mitsubishi Electric heat pumps and Daikin heat pumps at the premium end to solid value options. Getting the sizing and install right matters more than the badge on the box, so it pays to compare the types of heat pump too.
How much does it cost to run a heat pump?
Modern heat pumps are one of the cheapest ways to heat a home, often turning each unit of power into three or more units of heat. A right-sized unit sips power where an oversized or undersized one wastes it, which is why a tidy, correctly specified heat pump installation pays off over the years. For several rooms, multi split heat pumps run everything off one efficient outdoor unit.
Do heat pumps work in winter?
Yes. Heat pumps are designed to pull warmth from the outside air even on cold Bay of Plenty mornings, and they're brilliant at drying out the damp our humid winters bring. The same unit runs in reverse for air conditioning through our long, muggy summers, so you get year-round comfort from one system.
