High-ceiling character villas and modern townhouses in Central Auckland need completely different heat pump installs. Find out what your home actually needs before you spend anything.
Every Mt Eden home is different and the right system depends on yours. A single high wall unit suits most living areas. Multi-room covers the whole house without cluttering the section. Ducted disappears into the ceiling entirely. Have a look through the options below and see what fits.
The most common choice for Auckland homes. Heats the main living area properly and it is in and running in a day.
High wall installation Mt Eden
No units on the walls, just vents in the ceiling. Every room at the same temperature. Needs accessible ceiling space so that gets checked first.
Ducted installation Mt Eden
One outdoor unit runs two, three or four indoor units. Heat every room without multiple motors down the side of the house.
Multi-room installation
Heats from the ground up. Good for rooms with big windows and no wall space, and suits the older villas common across Central Auckland.
Floor mounted installation
Sits flush in the ceiling and pushes air in four directions. Even heat throughout the room, nothing on the walls.
Ceiling cassette installation
Uses outside air instead of an element to heat your water. Most homes cut their hot water bill by up to 70%.

I'm Gary Marsh. I started as an apprentice refrigeration engineer in Christchurch in the early 1990s and spent 25 years on the tools across New Zealand. My knees eventually had enough of crawling under houses and drilling through walls. Sharon had been telling me to slow down for years, and I finally listened.
Now I refer Central Auckland homeowners to the one installer I trust. I've known him for years from working alongside him on the tools. He does one thing: installs heat pumps. Because he isn't busy running around fixing other people's units, he gets to you faster, sizes your system properly, and leaves your house cleaner than most.
Every install comes with a workmanship guarantee and full manufacturer warranty. Here is exactly what you are covered for.
If there's an issue with how the unit was installed, he'll come back and sort it, no questions asked and no cost to you. He takes pride in a clean, solid job and stands by it for a full year.
Every brand he installs comes with a full manufacturer warranty. He doesn't just leave you with a box and a manual. He registers the unit and handles the paperwork so your cover is sorted from day one.
Call him. He'll be there to fix it under his workmanship guarantee, no cost to you.
He gets you straight through to the right person in the brand's service team and helps move things along.
Pricing depends on the size of your room and the brand you choose, but I believe in being up-front about the numbers. Here is a rough guide for Central Auckland homeowners.
This covers the unit and the install for a standard room or open-plan area. It's the most common and cost-effective option for most houses.
High wall installation →For when you want one outdoor motor running two or more units inside. A great way to keep the whole house warm without cluttering your garden.
Multi-room installation →The full setup for heating and cooling every room. The price varies depending on how big your place is and how much space there is in the ceiling.
Ducted installation →Use our calculator to get a clear idea of the right unit for your room. It helps make sure you aren't paying for a massive system you don't need, or worse, one that's too small to do the job.
