Installed prices, including GST, for a standard back-to-back install. Based on published price guides from eight NZ installers and retailers, updated Oct 2026. What changes the price
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 guide12 heat pump installers work in and around Te Awamutu, and most of them are tradespeople who do other work as well. Electricians, plumbing showrooms and refrigeration and air conditioning firms all fit heat pumps here, and their ground runs from Kihikihi and Ōtorohanga down to Te Kūiti, with Cambridge and Hamilton close enough to be part of the same patch.
The electricians are the largest group. Chris Odlum Electrical Ltd is a locally owned Master Electrician business that has worked since 2011 for homes, farms and businesses across Waipā, including Kihikihi, Pirongia, Ohaupo and Cambridge. It is rated 5.0 from 105 reviews. Heat pump supply, installation, replacement and servicing sit beside new builds, switchboard upgrades and fault finding. Contact Electrical has been in Te Awamutu since 1979, is family owned and has branches in Hamilton, Huntly and Taupo. It is rated 4.6 from 50 reviews and installs, services and maintains heat pumps next to its rural and industrial electrical work. RW Electrical Ltd, based in Kihikihi, rated 5.0 from 4 reviews, handles new installations, relocations when a house is renovated, yearly servicing and repairs, including leaks down the wall.
Plumbing showrooms are the second route in. Pratts Te Awamutu, rated 4.6 from 21 reviews, supplies and installs high wall, floor console, ceiling cassette and ducted heat pumps, from single rooms to whole homes, in Rinnai, Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu and Toshiba. It also installs heat pump hot water. Pratts Otorohanga has served Ōtorohanga and the King Country for over 60 years from a showroom on Main North Road, and it holds a 4.7 rating from 80 reviews. Finance options are available at both Pratts showrooms.
The air conditioning and refrigeration firms are where ducted and multi-room systems tend to come from. Climate Systems ltd is a family-owned Waikato business in Te Awamutu that looks at the house first, whether it runs cold, hot or damp, and then recommends a heat pump, home ventilation or a mix of both. It is rated 4.7 from 13 reviews. Waipa Heatpumps in Kihikihi has about 20 years behind it and designs and builds ducted systems as well as fitting Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Samsung units. Power Chill NZ Ltd works from Rickit Road, was founded in 2000 by Robin McGregor and Kingi Wetere, and fits hi-walls, floor units, ceiling cassettes, multi split and whole house ducted systems.
King Cooling & Heatpumps Ltd started in 2008 when Brad Johanson began with a ute and a toolbox in Te Awamutu. It is a Hitachi authorised installer, and it also builds coolrooms and does dairy refrigeration and hydronic underfloor heating, so the farm side of the Waikato is part of its week. iChill Refrigeration Ltd installs heat pumps for homes and businesses across Hamilton and the wider Waikato from its Te Awamutu base, and its air conditioning experience extends to VRV systems and large ducted installations in hospitals, malls, hotels and offices.
South of town, Action Electrical Limited in Te Kūiti serves Te Kūiti, Taupō and Ōtorohanga, and Kiwitown Electrical Ltd in Ōtorohanga, rated 4.9 from 116 reviews, adds home ventilation and heating solutions to farm and dairy shed work. Councils across the country, including Auckland, Christchurch and Central Otago, say a heat pump used for space heating does not usually need a building consent when a registered electrician connects it. In Te Awamutu the consent authority is Waipā District Council, which is the place to ask about any particular house.
Pratts Te Awamutu, Waipa Heatpumps in Kihikihi, Power Chill NZ Ltd, King Cooling & Heatpumps Ltd and iChill Refrigeration Ltd all install ducted systems. Waipa Heatpumps designs and builds them for whole houses, and iChill has worked on VRV and large ducted systems in commercial buildings.
Climate Systems ltd offers home ventilation and will suggest it instead of, or with, a heat pump for a damp house. RW Electrical Ltd installs smart vent HRV systems, and Contact Electrical covers heating, cooling and ventilation work together.
Yes. Waipa Heatpumps and RW Electrical Ltd are both based in Kihikihi. Waipa Heatpumps is rated 4.7 from 12 reviews and RW Electrical Ltd is rated 5.0 from 4 reviews, so the second has a much shorter record. Chris Odlum Electrical Ltd also works in Kihikihi.
Pratts Otorohanga has a showroom in Ōtorohanga and installs heat pumps and heat pump hot water. Kiwitown Electrical Ltd is also based in Ōtorohanga. Action Electrical Limited is based in Te Kūiti and supplies and installs air conditioners and heat pumps there.
Finance options are available through Pratts Te Awamutu and Pratts Otorohanga. Ask either showroom how it works and what it covers before you agree to anything.
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 Te Awamutu 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.
