The Electrical Side

Why the electrics matter for a heat pump

A heat pump is not just a unit on a wall. It has to be connected to your home's electrical system, and it needs to suit what your supply and switchboard can handle alongside everything else in the house.

Electrical work done for payment must be carried out by a registered electrician with a current practising licence. WorkSafe says you should ask to see the licence, and that fixed wiring work should come with a Certificate of Compliance. Keep it with your home records.

FAQs

Common questions

Do you supply as well as install heat pumps?

Yes. We supply and install energy-efficient heat pumps for Dunedin homes and businesses, and we help you choose a system to suit your space rather than giving a one-size-fits-all recommendation.

How do I choose the right size heat pump?

The right size depends on the room or space, how it is laid out, how you use it and what you want from the system. That is why we look at your space before recommending a unit.

What electrical work is needed before a heat pump is installed?

It depends on your home and the unit. Your installer and electrician check that your supply and switchboard suit it, plan the circuit and cable route, and make sure you receive the right paperwork. Requirements vary, so each job is assessed individually.

Who can do the electrical part of a heat pump installation?

Electrical work done for payment must be carried out by a registered electrician with a current practising licence, and you can ask to see it. For fixed wiring work you should also receive a Certificate of Compliance.

Does a heat pump need servicing?

Routine maintenance extends the life of your heat pump and helps keep your energy bills down. We offer servicing and maintenance, so you do not need to look elsewhere.

Can you install a heat pump in a business?

Yes. We install heat pumps for Dunedin businesses as well as homes.
