We're locally owned and operated from Addington, Christchurch, and service homes and businesses across Christchurch and the wider Canterbury region.

Wall-mounted heat pumps are a cost-effective option for heating a single room or open-plan space, with quick installation and lower upfront investment. Ducted systems heat and cool the whole home from a hidden ceiling unit, giving even temperatures room-to-room, zone control and a clean, vent-only finish — better suited to new builds, renovations, or a premium whole-home result.

Hot water heat pumps can cut hot water energy costs by up to 70% compared with a standard electric cylinder, using heat pump technology to draw more heat from the electricity they use. Typical payback is 4–7 years, with a system lifespan of 12–18 years.
