Servicing and repairs
We service and repair the systems we install, keeping filters, coils and salt-exposed outdoor units running sweet year after year.
About our servicing
Air conditioning
A heat pump is a reverse-cycle air conditioner, so it cools through those 30-degree Bay afternoons and heats on cold nights, all from the one unit.
About air conditioningUp to 90% off a new heat pump with Warmer Kiwi Homes
The Warmer Kiwi Homes grant covers up to 90% of a heat pump for an eligible living area, capped at $3,450 including GST. It's for owner-occupied homes built before 2008 with no fixed heating, common in older Maraenui, Camberley and Flaxmere houses. We'll help you check if you qualify.

We check your layout, insulation and the best spot for the indoor and outdoor units, allowing for salt air on the coast and frost pockets inland.
The install
Our team fits it tidily, most high-wall jobs in a day, leaves the place clean and shows you how to run it for the lowest power bills.
Backed by warranty
Your unit comes with the manufacturer's warranty, and because we service our own installs you're looked after long term.
Why Napier homeowners choose us
We're not a big out-of-town chain. We're local, we know Hawke's Bay homes, and we treat your house the way we'd treat our own.
Local to the Bay
We live and work in Hawke's Bay, so we know how a single-glazed Deco villa in Marewa heats differently to a new build up on Poraiti or a home out on the plains.
Right size, not oversize
The right size beats the biggest or the cheapest every time. We match the unit to your rooms so it heats and cools properly without guzzling power.
Tidy, careful installs
Neat pipe runs, sensible unit placement away from the worst of the coastal salt air, and a proper clean-up when we're done. A tidy install lasts.
We back our own work
We service and repair the heat pumps we install, so the people who fitted it are the same people who stand behind it down the track.
Honest fixed quotes
You get a clear fixed price before we start, not a vague estimate that creeps up. What we quote is what you pay.
All the major brands
We fit Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic and Hitachi, and recommend what genuinely suits your home rather than a brand we're pushing.
Brands we install
We install all the major brands and match one to your home and budget, from premium quiet units to solid value picks. No exclusive deals, just the right fit.
Not sure what size heat pump you need?
Bigger isn't better. An oversized unit short-cycles and wastes power, while an undersized one never quite keeps up in a cold Deco home. Our quick calculator gets you a starting point for your rooms.
Areas we cover
From the salt air on the coast to the frost pockets inland, we cover greater Napier and Hawke's Bay. Here's where we work.
Napier
From the salt air around Ahuriri and Westshore to single-glazed Art Deco homes in Napier South and Marewa, we handle heat pump installation sized for hot Bay summers and frosty mornings.
Hastings & Havelock North
Out on the Heretaunga Plains the frosts bite harder, so heat pump installation in Hastings, Havelock North and Flaxmere is sized for genuine cold-morning starts.
Common questions
Are heat pumps worth it in New Zealand?
Yes. In Hawke's Bay a well-sized heat pump is the cheapest way to keep a home warm and dry through frosty winter mornings, and it doubles as cooling for those 30-degree summer afternoons. The upfront installation cost is modest next to years of lower power bills, eligible pre-2008 homes can claim the Warmer Kiwi Homes grant, and our own heat pump servicing keeps the system running long after fit-out.
How much does a heat pump cost to run?
Running cost comes down to how well the unit is sized and how efficient it is. A right-sized heat pump on a sensible setting will warm a living area for a few dollars a day, far less than plug-in electric heaters. Efficient premium units like Mitsubishi Electric heat pumps and Daikin heat pumps sip power on the low settings that suit Napier's milder coastal days.
What size heat pump do I need for my house?
That depends on the room size, ceiling height, insulation and how much glazing you have. Napier's solid single-glazed Art Deco and plaster homes lose heat, so they often need a bigger unit than a new build of the same size. Our heat pump sizing calculator gives you a quick starting figure, the types of heat pump guide walks through your options, and for several rooms off one outdoor unit multi split heat pumps are often the tidy answer.
Is a heat pump the same as an air conditioner?
They are the same machine. A heat pump is a reverse-cycle air conditioner, so it cools in summer and heats in winter from the one unit. That suits Hawke's Bay homes that swing from hot dry afternoons to cold nights, and for whole-home comfort ducted heat pumps do the job out of sight. We fit and support systems across the areas we serve, from the Napier coast to the Heretaunga Plains.
