Homeowner guideQueenstown's heat pump installers work around the Wakatipu Basin and the lakeside towns near it. Thirteen of them work from the town, and the district's building consent authority is the Queenstown Lakes District Council. Electricians, a plumbing contractor, refrigeration engineers and dedicated heat pump businesses all share the work, and the nearby towns of Arrowtown and Glenorchy each have an installer of their own. Winters in the district are cold, so most of the work is heating first and cooling second.

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.
