Heat pump work in Mosgiel
Between 81% and 89% of households across Mosgiel used a heat pump in 2023, and Mosgiel Central’s 89% was the highest share in Dunedin. So most jobs are replacements for units that are struggling, noisy or past their best.
Where a wood burner is getting old, a heat pump on a timer heats the lounge before you’re up with nothing to light. Mosgiel is in a clean-air zone, so a new burner has to meet emission limits.
Taieri frosts
Mosgiel is the town of the Taieri Plain, over Three Mile Hill from the city. Its own research station at Invermay records a July mean minimum of 0.6°C. Out on the same plain, Dunedin Airport averages 66 days a year below 0°C and 63 fog days, against 8 and 6 on the city flat.
So the heat pump is chosen on its output below freezing, and the outdoor unit goes in winter sun, out of the coldest low corner of the section. On low-lying sections it sits on a raised pad or wall brackets, clear of pooling water and fallen leaves, with room to hose it out.
Tips for Mosgiel homes
- Taieri frosts are harder than the city’s: choose a heat pump on its output below freezing and site the outdoor unit in winter sun.
- On a flat, low section, set the outdoor unit on a raised pad or brackets, clear of pooling water.
- Old burner? A heat pump on a timer heats the lounge before you’re up, and a new burner here has to meet emission limits.
