Heat Pump & AC Installation

Heat pump and air con installs done right. Dedicated circuits, switchboard checks, and a clean install certified on completion.

A heat pump is only as good as its installation. The unit on the wall gets the attention, but it’s the electrical work behind it (the circuit, the switchboard, the cable runs) that decides whether it runs efficiently and safely for the next fifteen years. That’s the part we do properly.

The electrical side, done right

Every heat pump we wire gets a dedicated circuit, sized for the unit and protected at the switchboard. Before we start, we check your switchboard has the capacity, and if it doesn’t, we’ll tell you honestly and quote the upgrade rather than overloading what’s there. Cabling is run tidily and concealed wherever possible, because a clean install should look clean.

We work on single-room high-wall units, multi-room and ducted systems, and commercial air conditioning across Napier, Hastings, and wider Hawke’s Bay: for homeowners, landlords meeting Healthy Homes requirements, and businesses keeping staff and customers comfortable.

Certified, not just connected

Heat pump electrical work is prescribed electrical work under New Zealand law, and every install we complete is tested and certified with the paperwork to prove it. If you’re getting a unit supplied through a heat pump retailer, we’re happy to handle just the electrical side and coordinate directly with the installer.

Honest advice before you buy

Not sure what size unit you need, or where it should go? Ask us before you buy. We see the results of poorly placed and undersized units all the time, and five minutes of advice can save you years of an underperforming system.

FAQs

Heat Pump & AC Installation FAQs

Does a heat pump need its own circuit?

In almost all cases, yes. A heat pump should run on a dedicated, correctly sized circuit; plugging into an existing overloaded circuit causes nuisance tripping and is a safety risk.

Can my switchboard handle a heat pump?

We check before we install. Many older Hawke's Bay switchboards are already near capacity; if yours needs an upgrade, we'll quote it upfront so there are no surprises.
