Heat Pump Installation Napier
We fit heat pumps that handle Napier's hot still summers and its sharp winter frosts. Tell us about your home and we'll give you a straight quote.
We install heat pumps right across Napier, from Taradale and Greenmeadows to coastal Ahuriri and Bay View. We size the unit to your home, fit it properly, and pick gear that stands up to salt air. A single room head start is usually a one day job.
Why Napier homes need heating and cooling that pulls its weight
Napier summers get hot and still, up into the low 30s, and older houses hold that heat well into the evening. You want a unit that actually cools, not one that just takes the edge off. That's where good sizing and a bit of honest advice about air conditioning for hot Napier summers matters.
Winter is the other half of the job. Clear calm nights bring sharp coastal frosts, and a lot of the housing stock here is 1930s Art Deco plaster and single-glazed bungalows that lose heat fast. A properly sized heat pump keeps a living area warm through those frosts without the power bill blowing out.
Salt air and outdoor units near the coast
If you're in Ahuriri, Bay View, or anywhere on the flat terraces below Bluff Hill, sea air and salt exposure are real. Salt eats at cheap outdoor units and their coils, so we place the unit thoughtfully and lean toward gear built to cope. That's part of why we often fit Mitsubishi Electric heat pumps in coastal spots.
Where you put the outdoor unit changes how long it lasts. A bit of shelter from the worst of the salt spray, good airflow, and sensible mounting all help. We sort that out on the day so you're not replacing a corroded unit in five years.
What a Napier install actually involves
Most jobs are a single high-wall head in the main living area, and that's usually a one day fit. We run the pipework, mount the indoor and outdoor units, test it, and show you how to run it. If you want to know how the whole process runs from quote to switch-on, our heat pump installation rundown walks through it.
Bigger or older homes sometimes suit a different approach. If you've got a sprawling Art Deco place or want to heat several rooms off one system, ducted heat pumps can be worth a look, though they cost more and need ceiling space. We'll tell you plainly whether it's worth it for your house.
We cover Napier and the surrounding suburbs, so check the areas we serve to make sure you're in range.
Getting the size and the budget right
An undersized unit runs flat out and never quite gets there. An oversized one short-cycles and wastes money. We measure the room, factor in your glazing and insulation, and match the unit to it. You can get a rough idea yourself with our heat pump sizing calculator before we come out.
Cost depends on the unit, the run length, and how tricky the mounting is. We give you a fixed price up front, no surprises. There's more detail on what drives the heat pump installation cost if you want to understand where the money goes.

Napier heat pump questions, answered
How much does it cost to install a heat pump in Napier?
For a single high-wall unit in a living area, most Napier installs land in a common mid-range once you include the unit and a standard fit. Ducted or multi-room systems cost more, and a long or awkward pipe run adds to it. We give you a fixed quote before any work starts so you know exactly what you're paying.
What size heat pump do I need for a Napier home?
It comes down to room size, ceiling height, glazing and insulation. A small bedroom needs a much smaller unit than an open-plan living area in a draughty single-glazed bungalow. Try our sizing calculator for a rough figure, then we'll confirm it on site so you don't over or under buy.
Do you install heat pumps in Art Deco and coastal Napier homes?
Yes. A lot of Napier's housing is 1930s Art Deco plaster and older bungalows, and we fit heat pumps in them regularly. Solid plaster walls and coastal salt air just need a bit more thought about mounting and unit placement, which we sort on the day.
Is there a subsidy for heat pumps in Napier?
The Warmer Kiwi Homes grant can cover a large share of a heat pump for eligible households, up to a cap, and you apply through EECA. We're not an EECA-registered provider, so we can't administer it, but we're happy to talk through whether your home might qualify. See our Warmer Kiwi Homes grant page for the current details.
