Enter the room size and how well it holds heat for a rough size. An installer confirms it when they measure up.
About 5 kW
A rule of thumb NZ installers use, for a room with a standard 2.4 m ceiling. High ceilings, big windows and open-plan spaces need more, so an installer should confirm it.

Homeowner guideHeat pump installers in Gisborne work a long way from the next centre. The closest towns with installers of their own are Ōpōtiki and Whakatāne up the coast, and Napier, Hastings and Havelock North to the south. That distance shapes the trade here: the firms based in town cover Gisborne town and country and carry on along the East Coast, rather than leaving the outer districts to someone else.
Thermisol is a locally owned Gisborne business that supplies, installs and services air conditioning units across Gisborne town and country, Wairoa and the East Coast, and it also supplies and installs hot water heat pumps. Its owner Jared has over 20 years in electrical and refrigeration work. It holds a 5.0 rating from 5 reviews.
Fenn Refrigeration has served Gisborne for over 50 years and is still family owned. It has been an authorised Daikin dealer for about 30 of those years, and it fits the full run of unit types: high wall, floor standing, cassette and ducted. Its rating is 4.0 from 8 reviews. Superchill Gisborne Limited works from Disraeli Street as the local branch of a Hawke's Bay refrigeration and air conditioning company that also covers Taupō. It installs split, multi head, ducted and ceiling cassette heat pumps and holds 3.4 from 5 reviews.
Two electricians round out the group that fits heat pumps. Fullwave Electrical Limited is run by Zach Furlan, a registered electrician with over 15 years in the trade, working across the East Coast region on residential, commercial and industrial jobs. It has a 5.0 rating from 1 review. Yorvik Electrical - Gisborne is run by Dom Jubb, a registered electrician with more than 17 years in the area, and heat pump electrical work sits within a service list that runs from house rewiring to ceiling fans. Its rating is 5.0 from 8 reviews.
Baty Aircon Limited, an air conditioning contractor, holds 3.8 from 8 reviews, and The Heat Pump Centre holds 4.5 from 4 reviews.
Because a heat pump is fixed to the house supply, the electrical connection has to be done by a registered electrician who is licensed to practise. The Electrical Workers Registration Board keeps a public register where you can check a name or the number on a licence card, and the electrician should hand you a Certificate of Compliance when the wiring is finished. Keep it, since insurers and buyers can ask to see it.
Across the group, the work leans towards ducted and multi-room systems, high wall units, floor consoles and ceiling cassettes, with a lot of commercial work alongside the homes. Servicing and ventilation are offered by several of the same firms, so one call can often cover a new unit and the upkeep that follows.
Fenn Refrigeration and Superchill Gisborne Limited both install ducted systems, and Fullwave Electrical Limited lists ducted work too. Fenn Refrigeration is an authorised Daikin dealer with over 50 years in Gisborne. Superchill works from Disraeli Street.

Yes. Fullwave Electrical Limited and Yorvik Electrical - Gisborne are both run by registered electricians who take on heat pump work. Ask to see the practising licence, and check it on the Electrical Workers Registration Board register. You should receive a Certificate of Compliance after the connection.
Thermisol supplies and installs hot water heat pumps as well as air conditioning units. Ask about the hot water side when you call, since it is a separate product from a wall unit that heats a room.
Ōpōtiki and Whakatāne lie up the coast, and Napier, Hastings and Havelock North are to the south. Each has its own installers if you live closer to one of them than to Gisborne town.
Typical installed prices in New Zealand run $2,000 to $3,200 for small high-wall, about 2.5 kW, $2,800 to $4,800 for medium high-wall, about 5 kW, $3,500 to $5,500 for large high-wall, about 8 kW, $12,000 to $22,000 for ducted, whole house. A Gisborne quote moves with the size, the brand, how far the pipes run and where the outdoor unit goes. Based on published price guides from eight NZ installers and retailers, updated Oct 2026.
As a rough guide, allow about 120 watts per square metre in a well-insulated room, 140 in an average one and 160 in an older, draughty one. A 30 m² lounge works out at about 4.2 kW with average insulation and 4.8 kW if it loses heat. Heat pumps come in set sizes, so both round up to a 5 kW unit. Use the calculator above for your room, then have an installer confirm it.
