Heat pumps in Andersons Bay

Heat pumps in Andersons Bay
About 83% of Andersons Bay households used a heat pump in 2023 and 42% a wood burner, so most jobs are replacements, with some first heat pumps where the burner is retiring.
An older unit that ices up and goes quiet for long spells on cold, still mornings may need a service, or may be too small. Riley checks both before he recommends a replacement.
By the inlet
Andersons Bay runs south from the Andersons Bay Inlet, an arm of Otago Harbour, across the neck of land that joins the peninsula to the mainland, about 2.8 km south-east of the city. Musselburgh is to the west and Shiel Hill to the east.
Close to the inlet, salt air finds its way into an outdoor unit, so corrosion-protected coils and stainless fixings are worth it. And with houses close together, the unit goes away from the neighbour’s bedroom windows: Dunedin’s night-time limit at the boundary is 40 dB.
Tips for Andersons Bay homes
- Near the inlet? Ask for corrosion-protected coils and stainless fixings, and rinse the outdoor coil every few months.
- Frequent defrosts on cold mornings mean a service or a size check; Riley looks at both before recommending a new unit.
- Keep the outdoor unit back from the neighbour’s bedrooms: the night limit at the boundary is 40 dB.

Andersons Bay questions
Another question? Call 0800 166 024, or ask it in the quote form.
Do you cover Andersons Bay?
Yes, from the inlet up to Shiel Hill and Waverley.
Does salt air matter for a heat pump?
Near the water, yes. Corrosion-protected coils, stainless fixings and a rinse every few months keep the outdoor unit going.
Will the outdoor unit bother the neighbours?
Riley places it away from bedroom windows and within Dunedin’s night-time noise limit at the boundary.
How often should a heat pump near the harbour be serviced?
A yearly service is the recommended rhythm, and near the water the outdoor coil needs a rinse every few months as well, to keep the salt off it.
