Replacing heat pumps in Belleknowes
With 88% of households on a heat pump in 2023, Belleknowes is replacement country. A swap can often use the same wall position and power supply, which keeps it tidy; Riley checks the old circuit and the unit’s size when he quotes, and steps up a size where the old one never kept up.
Nearly half of households here also use a wood burner. If yours is getting old, a heat pump can take over its job, or a second unit can warm the rooms the burner never reaches.
Belleknowes, and the Windle Settlement
Belleknowes is a small hill suburb set into the Town Belt, where Mornington, Roslyn and City Rise meet, with its golf course close to the city centre. At 207 m it’s level with Wakari, and the mornings show it.
On Rosebery and Newport streets is the Windle Settlement, the first 20 houses built in Dunedin under the Workers’ Dwellings Act, in 1906 and 1907. It’s a residential heritage precinct, so a heat pump’s outdoor unit there belongs out of view from the street. Out of public view, it doesn’t touch the precinct rules.
Tips for Belleknowes homes
- In the Windle Settlement streets, put the outdoor unit on a side or back wall, out of sight from the street.
- At 200 m up, pick a heat pump whose heating at 2°C on the energy label is close to its 7°C figure: that’s the number that matters on a frosty morning.
- Replacing like for like? Send a photo of the old unit and its label so Riley can tell what can be used again.

Belleknowes questions
Another question? Call 0800 166 024, or ask it in the quote form.
Do you work in the Windle Settlement?
Yes. Riley places the outdoor unit out of view from the street, so the precinct’s look is kept.
Can a replacement use the old power supply?
Often, where the circuit is sound and suits the new unit. Riley checks it as part of the quote.
Do you cover Belleknowes?
Yes, and the neighbouring streets in Mornington, Roslyn and City Rise.
How long does a replacement take?
It depends on what can be used again: the spot, the bracket, the pipe run and the circuit. Riley tells you when he quotes, and the old units go with him when the job’s done.
