Homeowner guideGore's heat pump installers have a split character. Some businesses here fit the usual wall and floor units, and others work mainly on central heating: diesel and gas boilers, radiators, underfloor heating and air-to-water heat pumps that feed them. Six businesses serve the town, with one based in Upper Charlton and one in Tapanui. Building consents in Gore go through the Gore District Council.

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.
