Which heat pump for which room
A high-wall unit suits most lounges and bedrooms. A floor console sits low under a window and suits a high-studded villa room, where warm air from a high-wall unit can sit up near the ceiling. For several rooms, a multi-room system runs two or more indoor units from one outdoor unit, and a ducted system heats the whole house through outlets in the ceiling.

Another room, or upstairs
Plenty of Dunedin homes have one heat pump in the lounge and cold bedrooms down the hall. A unit sized for one room won’t carry its heat through the whole house with the doors open. A second heat pump sized for the bedrooms, or a multi-room system, fixes that. Riley looks at where the pipes and the circuit can run, and where a second outdoor unit can sit, or whether one outdoor unit can run both.
Instead of the wood burner
A wood burner heats the room it’s in, once it’s going, and the wood has to be bought, stacked and carried. A heat pump sized to do the burner’s job warms the room at the press of a button, and cools it on a hot summer day. Across Dunedin and Mosgiel’s clean-air zone, a new wood burner has to meet emission limits; a heat pump has none. Riley sizes it for the room the burner heated and the rooms off it.
Where the units go
Inside, the unit goes high on an outside wall where it can blow along the room, not straight at a chair. Outside, the outdoor unit wants winter sun, free airflow and the maker’s clearances, on a firm pad or a wall bracket, and well away from the neighbour’s bedroom windows: Dunedin’s night-time limit at the boundary is 40 dB. On a hillside section that takes some thought, and Riley works it out on the quote visit.
Getting the most from it
A heat pump works best in a room that holds its heat. Ceiling and underfloor insulation, and stopping the draughts round doors and windows, let a smaller unit do the job and keep the running costs down. If the room has a gap there, Riley will say so when he quotes.
Install day
Riley fixes the indoor unit, drills the hole for the pipes, sets the outdoor unit on its pad or bracket, runs the pipes and the cable between them, and does the wiring back to the switchboard. The pipework is pressure-tested before the system is filled, then he tests the heat pump, sets the timer with you and shows you the remote. The old heater or unit goes with him if it’s coming out.
Shops and offices
We also fit heat pumps in shops and offices, from a single room to several. Tell Riley the space and how it’s used, and he’ll quote it the same way.

Questions
Another question? Call 0800 166 024, or ask it in the quote form.
What size heat pump do I need?
It depends on the room, the house and where it sits. A room on the hill with big windows needs more than the same room near the harbour. Riley sizes it on the quote visit.
Can a heat pump replace my wood burner?
Yes, when it’s sized to do the burner’s job. Riley sizes it for the room the burner heated and the rooms off it.
Do I need a separate electrician?
No. Riley is a registered electrician, so the circuit is part of the same job, with the right electrical certificates.
Do I need a building consent?
Not for a standard wall-mounted heat pump in a house: the hole for the pipes is exempt work. Riley checks anything bigger, like ducted work, when he quotes.
Do you install in shops and offices?
Yes, light commercial work: shops and offices, one room or several.
Which brands do you install?
Mainly Daikin, and also Panasonic, Mitsubishi, Haier and Toshiba.
