HEAT PUMP INSTALLATION WELLINGTON
Love coming home, whatever the weather
We don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every heat pump recommendation is based on your home, your lifestyle and what matters most to you.
Finding the right heat pump starts with understanding your home
A heat pump is one of the smartest investments you can make in your home - but only if it's the right system for your space.
Whether you're replacing an ageing unit, building new or installing a heat pump for the first time, we'll take the time to understand your home, your goals and your budget before recommending a solution. Because no two homes are the same, neither are our recommendations.
High Wall Heat Pumps
The most popular option for heating and cooling individual rooms. Quiet, efficient and ideal for bedrooms, living areas and home offices.
Floor Console Heat Pumps
Perfect where wall space is limited or when replacing older-style heaters. Floor consoles deliver excellent heating performance, particularly during Wellington's colder months.
Multi Room Systems
Heat or cool multiple rooms from a single outdoor unit while giving each room independent temperature control.
Ducted Heat Pumps
Whole-home comfort with a discreet finish. Ducted systems deliver consistent temperatures or zone your system throughout your home, with only subtle ceiling or floor grilles on show.
What our heat pump customers say
"We have just had our third heat-pump installed by Wasabi - and just like the previous two, it all went in faultlessly... I highly recommend Wasabi to all."
- Alistair
"The team from Wasabi was onsite for three days and did a fantastic job. They were particularly thoughtful when my 2 year old grandson visited, ensuring he was not alarmed by unexpected holes in the floor. I have always had excellent work from the Wasabi team and would not consider using anyone else."
- Sally
"Great team at Wasabi! Their sales person Adrian was very knowledgeable and really helped inform our decision about the 8kw Daikin dual floor and vertical air flow cassette installation. The installation team were thorough, tidy and helpful - downloading the app and setting up the wi-fi connection for us. Excellent service, great price."
- M. Doidge
"Every single person we dealt with was highly professional, helpful and friendly... We are so happy we chose to go with Wasabi... for our ducted heat pump system. It is a fabulous system and it has changed our world for the better!"
- Leanne
It can be tempting to compare quotes on price alone - but the system that's right for one home may not be right for another
When we recommend a heat pump, we consider much more than the size of the room. Insulation, window placement, sun exposure, ceiling height, how you use the space and your future plans all play a part in finding the right solution.
That's why we'll never recommend a heat pump simply because it's the cheapest option. Our goal is to recommend a system you'll still be happy with years from now.
A quality installation makes all the difference
Even the best heat pump won't perform at its best if it isn't installed properly.
From the position of the indoor and outdoor units to airflow, pipework and finishing touches, every detail contributes to how efficiently your system performs.
Our installers take pride in doing the job properly, treating your home with respect and making sure you know exactly how to get the best from your new heat pump before we leave.

FAQs
How do I know what size heat pump is right for my home?
Choosing the right size heat pump is about much more than the size of the room. We'll consider your home's layout, insulation, ceiling height, window placement, sun exposure and how you use the space before recommending a system. The goal is simple: a heat pump that keeps you comfortable while running as efficiently as possible.
Which heat pump brand is right for my home?
There's no one-size-fits-all answer. That's why we install trusted brands including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Hitachi and Toshiba. Rather than recommending the same brand every time, we'll help you choose the system that's the best fit for your home, your lifestyle and your budget.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
Most standard residential heat pump installations are completed in a single day. Larger or more complex systems, such as ducted heat pumps or multi-room systems, may take longer. We'll let you know exactly what to expect before work begins.
Can you install heat pumps in new builds & renovations?
Absolutely. We regularly work alongside homeowners, builders and architects on new homes and renovations. We can quote directly from your plans and, where appropriate, install pipework before the walls are lined for a cleaner, more streamlined installation.
How often should I have my heat pump serviced?
To help keep your heat pump running efficiently, we recommend cleaning the filters every three months. Professional servicing should also be carried out periodically to help maintain performance, improve efficiency and identify any issues before they become bigger problems.
How much does a heat pump service cost?
A standard residential heat pump service starts from $150 + gst for the first unit and $80 + gst for each additional unit serviced at the same visit. A ducted system costs $220 + gst. Regular servicing helps keep your system running efficiently, extends its lifespan and can help protect your manufacturer's warranty.
What is a Hydroclean & do I need one?
A Hydroclean is a deep clean of your heat pump that removes built-up dirt, mould and bacteria from inside the unit - areas that can't be reached by simply cleaning the filters. If your heat pump has developed unpleasant smells, isn't performing as well as it used to, or you've discovered mould inside the unit, a Hydroclean can help restore performance, improve air quality and extend the life of your system.
How much does a Hydroclean cost?
A Hydroclean costs $250 + gst per unit. It's a worthwhile investment if your heat pump has developed unpleasant smells, visible mould or isn't performing the way it used to. As well as improving air quality, a Hydroclean helps restore your heat pump's performance and extend the life of your system.
How much do heat pump repairs or breakdowns cost?
If your heat pump isn't working as it should, get in touch. Some issues can be resolved over the phone, while others require one of our technicians to visit your home. Repairs not covered by warranty are charged from $175 + gst for the first hour on site (including travel), plus any parts required. We'll always explain what's involved before carrying out any additional work.
Do heat pumps help reduce power bills?
Modern heat pumps are one of the most energy-efficient ways to heat and cool your home. When correctly sized and professionally installed, they use significantly less electricity than many traditional heating options. Choosing the right system—and looking after it with regular servicing—will help you get the best performance and running costs over the long term.
Can I get finance for a heat pump?
Yes. We offer finance options through Gem and Q Card, making it easier to spread the cost of your new heat pump. It's also worth talking to your bank - most major banks now offer low-interest green home loans or top-ups for energy-efficient upgrades like heat pumps, often at rates well below standard lending. We're happy to talk through the options when we provide your quote.
