Homeowner guideThames is where the Coromandel meets the Hauraki Plains, and the heat pump installers who work here cover both. Their own descriptions of where they work include Coromandel, Ngatea, Paeroa, Puriri and Waihi. The Thames-Coromandel District Council is the consent authority for the town, and two of the businesses on this list are based out on the plains, in Ngatea and Puriri, instead of in Thames itself.

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.
