Licences and consent

Licensed Building Practitioners pay an application fee of NZ$250 plus an assessment fee, so check whether your job falls under that licence before you hire. In Auckland, a wood burner needs a fixed consent fee of NZ$327 for processing plus NZ$195 per inspection. The appliance itself costs from NZ$1,500 for a budget freestanding model to NZ$30,000 or more for a high-end inbuilt one, so ask the installer what the quote covers.

The season

In New Zealand summer runs from December to February and winter from June to August, so November is late spring. Heating installs are needed before the cold, so getting quotes now leaves time to book the work for autumn, from March to May. Check the forecast for your city before fixing the date.

How the job is priced

Prices are quoted per job or per hour. Flooring installers publish hourly rates excl. GST, which for an eight-hour day comes to NZ$480 to NZ$960. Heat pump totals can include GST: one installer's example total is NZ$4,220 including GST. Ask whether a quote includes GST, the unit and the electrical connection. Measure floor areas in square metres and give the city, Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton or Tauranga, so that the installer can quote for the right location.

What to put in your request

Describe the type of work and whether you pay per hour or per job. Name the workplace, the city and the site, and give the schedule and the start date. Say how much work experience you need, whether the job is a contract or ongoing employment, whether work at height is included, and which tools the installer brings. A clear list lets sellers answer with a precise price and terms.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe the job in your own words in the chat and add a photo if you have one. Our AI asks for missing details, looks through New Zealand sellers' websites and price lists, and shows the prices it finds. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own offer, price and terms, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose whom to exchange them with. See how BlaBlaPrice works or start a request.

Questions and answers

How much does an installer cost in New Zealand?

It depends on the job. Sellers' websites list a standard wall-mounted heat pump at about NZ$1,500 to NZ$4,000 including the unit, and flooring installers at about NZ$60 to NZ$120 an hour excl. GST.

Do I need a licence for installation work?

Licensed Building Practitioners apply for a licence with a NZ$250 application fee plus an assessment fee. Check whether your job falls under that licence before you hire anyone.

When is the best time to book a heat pump or wood burner install?

Winter runs from June to August, so booking in autumn, from March to May, gives you time before the cold. A wood burner in Auckland also needs a consent fee before the work starts.

Does the quoted price include GST?

Not always. One heat pump example total of NZ$4,220 includes GST, while flooring rates are quoted excl. GST, so ask the installer which figure they use.
