Hi, a wall-mounted heat pump install in Hamilton is usually NZ$1,500–4,000 with the unit included. Is it for one room or the whole house?

Hello. Our installs in Tauranga depend on size and placement, and most of our quotes start from NZ$2,500. Are you thinking of a split system or a ducted one?

Licences and grants

Heat pumps use refrigerants, and under the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment licensing system a licensed technician is needed for installation, repair and maintenance of heating and air conditioning systems. A licence is not needed where the technician works only on systems without hazardous refrigerants. EECA's Warmer Kiwi Homes grants cover insulation and heaters: an insulation retrofit averages about NZ$4,300, so with a 50% grant you could pay about NZ$2,150. Check eligibility before you book.

Season and timing

Winter in New Zealand runs from June to August, when heating demand peaks, and summer from December to February is when cooling is used most. November is late spring, so installing now gives you a site visit and a working system well before the next winter. Booking early also gives you more choice of installation dates.

How heating work is quoted

Quotes usually cover the unit and installation together, with running costs shown separately. Multi-room layouts, ducted systems and central heating with pipes cost more than a single wall unit. Some installers say their technicians meet New Zealand licensing requirements, so ask for the licence number and whether the price includes GST.

What to put in your request

Say which room or area needs heat, the heated floor area in square metres, the heat source you want (heat pump, gas, wood or electric), whether it is a new system or a replacement, the scope of work, any pipes or layout you already have, your address, the deadline and your budget.

BlaBlaPrice reads your request, asks for missing details and looks through sellers' websites and price lists for heating work in New Zealand, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own offer, and your contact details stay hidden until you choose to share them. You can also send the request link to an installer you already trust.
