What we do in Green Island
In 2023, about 53% of Green Island households used a wood burner and 77% a heat pump, up from 63% in 2018. So more of the work here is first heat pumps, alongside replacements for units that have done their time.
A first heat pump in the main living area takes over from the fire on the days you don’t want to light it, and the circuit is wired as part of the same job.
Green Island’s valley
Green Island sits in a valley on the western edge of the city, along Main South Road with Abbotsford, with bush-covered hills rising towards the coast. It has its own clean-air airshed, so any new wood burner here has to meet emission and efficiency limits.
In the valley, frost lingers on still mornings. The outdoor unit goes where it gets winter sun and clear airflow, and on icy days it will stop to defrost now and then; that’s normal.
Tips for Green Island homes
- Still heating with the fire alone? A first heat pump in the main living area takes the load off the wood pile.
- Burner due for replacement? Price a heat pump alongside it: a new burner here has to meet clean-air limits.
- Site the outdoor unit in winter sun with clear airflow; a defrost now and then on icy mornings is normal.

Do you cover Green Island?
Yes, and Abbotsford, Concord and Fairfield nearby.
Is a heat pump cheaper to run than the fire?
It depends on the wood and the house. What a heat pump saves is the buying, stacking and lighting, and it heats at the press of a button. Riley can talk it through.
Why does the outdoor unit stop on cold mornings?
It’s defrosting the outdoor coil, which is normal on icy, damp mornings. Several defrosts in an hour or two are the sign it needs a look.
Do I need a building consent for a heat pump?
Not for a standard wall-mounted heat pump in a house: the hole for the pipes is exempt work. Riley checks anything bigger when he quotes.
