Six businesses serve the town: three work from Havelock North, two from Waipukurau and one from Waipawa. Hastings District Council is the building consent authority for the town.
Waipukurau is the base for two of the busiest firms. Flemings Electrical has worked out of Peel Street since 1983, serving Central and Southern Hawke's Bay. It began as an owner operated appliance repair and refrigeration firm run by Duncan and Brenda Fleming and now covers domestic and commercial wiring as well. It installs and repairs heat pumps and is rated 4.7 from 39 reviews. DMAK Electrical has traded since 2018 and has Waipukurau, Hastings, Napier, Havelock North, Wairoa and Dannevirke in its patch. Solar installation is a large part of its work, next to heat pump installation and air conditioning. It is rated 5.0 from 24 reviews.

Warren Plumbing Ltd is a plumbing and gasfitting team with over twenty years of service across Hawke's Bay, rated 5.0 from 45 reviews. Hot water is a major part of the offer, with high and low pressure cylinders, Rinnai gas hot water and hot water heat pumps. HydroKleen AirCon Purification Ltd is rated 5.0 from 19 reviews and cleans and services existing heat pumps and air conditioners rather than installing new ones, using high powered hydro cleaners and a 19 point checklist.

A Havelock North 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.
