Heat pump installation Ngatea Supplied, installed, signed off
Charly installs heat pumps across Ngatea and the surrounding towns, from a single high-wall to a full ducted system. He sizes it to the room and does the wiring himself – one registered electrician and EWRB-registered inspector for the whole job, not an installer plus a separate sparky.

How a heat pump actually works
A heat pump does not burn energy to make heat. It uses electricity to move existing heat from the outside air into your home, which is what keeps it so cheap to run. And because it is reverse-cycle, one unit handles the lot:

Why people pick us for heat pumps
Right-sized, properly installed, with a local sparky on call long after the job is done.
Sized correctly for your space
An oversized unit uses more power, cycles on and off, and never quite feels comfortable. EECA flags right-sizing as the most important install decision. We do a proper heat-load calculation based on the actual room, so the unit is matched to the space.
Install and electrical work in one visit
Heat pump installs need 230V wiring and a dedicated circuit. Charly does that himself as part of the job, so the wiring is tested and certified properly when the unit goes in.
Local servicing afterwards
A heat pump is a 10 to 15 year investment. Filters need washing, the outdoor unit needs an annual clean, and occasionally something needs adjusting. Because we are local to Ngatea, the service that is due in 18 months is one phone call away.
Free on-site visit. No obligation.
Which heat pump system is right for your home?
Three setups cover almost every home around Ngatea. The right one comes down to how many rooms you need to heat and how much ceiling space the house has.
High-wall unit
A single indoor unit mounted high on the wall, heating and cooling one room or open-plan space from one outdoor unit. The most common and lowest-cost option.
Best suited to
- A lounge, bedroom or single open-plan living area
- The lowest-cost way into heating and cooling
- A fast install, usually done in most of a day
Less suited to
- Heating several separate rooms evenly
Multi-split system
Several indoor units running off one outdoor compressor, so you can heat and cool multiple rooms independently without a separate outdoor unit for each.
Best suited to
- Heating two or more rooms from one outdoor unit
- Homes short on outdoor space for several compressors
- Whole-of-living-area comfort, room by room
Less suited to
- Single-room jobs, where one high-wall does it for less
Ducted system
Air pushed through concealed ducts and discreet ceiling vents in every room, for even temperature across the whole home with no wall units on show.
Best suited to
- New builds and renovations with ceiling space
- Even heating right through the whole home
- A clean look with nothing on the walls
Less suited to
- Existing homes without ceiling or roof access
- Tighter budgets, it is the biggest install of the three
