Heat Pump Installers in Whangārei

Heat pump installers in Whangārei work across a long, thin stretch of Northland. Around Whangārei, 30 businesses install heat pumps, and their work takes in Marsden Point and One Tree Point at the Bream Bay end, Ngunguru on the Tutukaka Coast, and Dargaville and the Kauri Coast on the west. Whangārei District Council is the building consent authority for the town, and a lot of the crews here treat the whole region, not just the town, as their patch.

In Whangārei the heat pump trade sits largely with electricians. Mr Electri City in Kamo, Revolve Electrical Solutions, Potter Electrical, Integrated Electrical & Solar Whangarei, Positive Electrical & Security Whangarei and All Weather Electrical all fit heat pumps alongside wiring, solar or switchboard work. For a homeowner that means the person fitting the unit is often the same registered electrician who connects it. JP Aircon works the same way: its installers are registered electricians, so switchboard work is part of the same job. Mr Electri City is rated 5.0 from 194 reviews, and Revolve Electrical Solutions 4.9 from 134.

The business with the longest review history is Hubands Energy on Kioreroa Road, rated 4.9 from 1365 reviews. It fits wall mounted, ducted and multi-split systems from Daikin, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi Electric and Panasonic with in-house installers, and it also does hot water heat pumps, ventilation and underfloor heating. HRV Northland started with home ventilation and now installs Haier, Panasonic, Pioneer and Mitsubishi heat pumps, including floor consoles, rated 4.9 from 164 reviews. Breeze Northland, rated 5.0 from 36 reviews, covers high wall, floor console, cassette, ducted and multi-room units, plus Mitsubishi Electric Lossnay heat recovery ventilation.

Most of the work in town is wall units and multi-room systems. Whole-house ducted heating comes from JP Aircon, Gibson Electric, GoFox Electrical Whangarei, Seachange Electrical and Revolve Electrical Solutions, among others. Brand choices vary by installer: JP Aircon focuses on Daikin and Toshiba, Gibson Electric supplies and installs Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu and Gree and is an authorised Mitsubishi Electric installer, and Chilltech Northland, the Whangārei arm of an HVAC company founded in the town, supplies systems from major manufacturers and leans toward commercial and high-end residential projects.

Water heating is its own corner of the trade here. JW Plumbing & Gas, a plumber and gasfitter based in Ngunguru, installs heat pump hot water alongside its plumbing and gas work. Calitec Heat Pump Hot Water Systems has its head office on Kara Road outside Whangārei and makes stainless steel heat pump hot water systems, including a hydronic heat pump home system for central heating and pool and spa heaters. Customers can book their own qualified installers or use Calitec's installers.

Out toward the edges of Northland the picture changes. In Dargaville, C & C Contract Electrical works from Edward Street and serves the Kaipara district, and Laser Electrical Dargaville serves the town and the Kauri Coast, Pouto Peninsula, Ruawai, Paparoa, Matakohe and Te Kopuru, with registered electricians certified to install and service Fujitsu and Mitsubishi heat pumps. Gibson Electric has offices in Kerikeri and Whangārei and also covers Kauri, Kawakawa and Kaikohe. Aotea Electric Northland has crews from Mangawhai in the south to Kaitaia in the north, and AirMaster Airconditioning & Heatpumps runs a Whangārei branch next to an Auckland one and travels to Kerikeri and Mangawhai.

Installers in the next towns to the south and east have their own pages: Kerikeri, Warkworth, Silverdale, Whangaparāoa and Helensville. Whoever you pick, connecting a fixed heat pump is electrical work, and the Electrical Workers Registration Board keeps a public register where you can check an electrician by name or by the number on their licence card.
