From high-ceiling heritage homes to modern multi-level townhouses, Central Auckland housing is all over the place and no two layouts heat the same way. I know the local housing styles inside out. Pick your suburb below to get a system sized perfectly for your floor plan and your power bills.

Villas on the volcanic slopes through to modern townhouse infill. Each heats differently. Good solutions for both.
Mostly 1970s housing that was never built with insulation in mind. A well-sized heat pump makes a real difference and many homes qualify for the WKH subsidy.
Older villas on the side streets and solid brick-and-tile from the 50s and 70s along the main roads. Both heat well when the system is matched to the home.
Villas and bungalows from the early 1900s through to newer townhouses near the train station. A good mix and all of them heat well with the right system.
Heritage villas, renovated character homes and converted industrial buildings. They all heat differently. Strong WKH eligibility in the older stock.
1880s villas and workers cottages through to modern townhouses on the same street. All heat differently. Worth a conversation before you decide on a system.
Grand heritage homes, architect designed new builds and everything in between. Get the sizing right for the floor plan and you won't be fighting the cold every year.
Californian bungalows, renovated weatherboard homes and some newer builds. Homes people have put real money into. The job needs to be done to match.
Known for its Californian bungalows but there is newer townhouse stock near the motorway too. The bungalows need a bit of thought, particularly if you are considering ducted.
1960s and 70s brick-and-tile, older weatherboard bungalows and new townhouses near the train station. A lot of the older homes qualify for the WKH subsidy.
Mostly 1970s housing on elevated ridgelines. The insulation was never great and the harbour exposure does not help. A heat pump makes a real difference in Lynfield.
Up on the ridge and exposed in winter in a way the flat suburbs are not. Solid mid-century weatherboard and brick-and-tile that holds heat well when the system is right.
Big family homes on generous sections, villas, bungalows and solid brick builds. These are homes people stay in for decades and worth heating properly.
Post-war bungalows and brick-and-tile that have never had proper heating. A heat pump changes that quickly. In and running in a day.
Workers cottages from the early 1900s next to new apartments near the harbour. Old and new, both need heating sorted and both are straightforward jobs.
New Fletcher Living townhouses on one side and older bungalows from the 40s and 60s on the other. Both need heat pumps, just for different reasons.
Everything from ex-state homes to brand new townhouses. A lot of the older places still run on plug-in heaters. Most qualify for the WKH subsidy. Worth checking first.
Auckland oldest suburb. Victorian and Edwardian villas, bungalows and modern terraces along Parnell Road. The heritage homes need careful handling and good brands.
