Homeowner guideMāpua is a small coastal town in Tasman, and the heat pump installers behind it are split between Māpua and Motueka. Two of the five work from Motueka, two from Māpua, and one more, Sun Electrical Ltd, is a Māpua electrician whose work is caravan wiring, rewires and solar rather than heat pumps. Their own service areas keep returning to the same places: Motueka, Tasman, Moutere, Riwaka, Kaiteriteri and Nelson.
Laser Electrical Motueka is a locally owned family electrical business that began trading in 2006. It serves Motueka, Māpua, Tasman, Moutere, Riwaka and Kaiteriteri, and its heat pump options include standard high-wall units, multi-head high-wall installations, fully ducted systems and floor consoles. It will supply and fit a unit, or fit one you bought elsewhere, and the first step is a free consultation, measure and quote. It is rated 4.7 from 150 reviews, the biggest review history of the five.
MR Electrical is a Motueka electrician serving the Motueka and greater Tasman region, with domestic and commercial work from new builds and renovations to switchboard upgrades and rewiring. Heating and cooling covers Mitsubishi and Gree heat pumps, plus ventilation and servicing. It is rated 5.0 from 6 reviews. Powermac Electrical, owned by Peter Macale and based in Māpua, serves Nelson and Tasman with 18 years of experience and installs heat pumps and air conditioning, with a ducted heating service as well. It is rated 5.0 from 2 reviews.
The Alternative Energy Company Ltd is a different kind of business. From its base in Māpua it supplies and installs solar thermodynamic hot water systems, with tech support across New Zealand. The Energie system is a solar-assisted air-to-water heat pump that heats all the water for a family home or a commercial business. It is for water heating, not for warming a living room, and it is rated 4.3 from 9 reviews.

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.
