Choosing the right-sized heat pump makes the difference between a warm home and wasted power
When a heat pump stops working, a home cools fast and choosing a replacement can feel confusing. Left too long, a cold house affects the whole household, and an oversized system pushes up running costs for warmth you never use.
Certified master tradesmen are on call 24/7 for repairs, and your space is assessed before a heat pump is recommended, so the unit matches the rooms it heats.
Peter Jackson Plumbing senior team member, Gary, also holds an electrical licence, which means more of the work happens in-house rather than waiting on a separate contractor. To discuss the right heat pump for your home, get in touch via the Contact form.

Heat pump installation matched to your rooms
Heat pumps move warmth from outside air into your home rather than generating it, so running costs stay low. Before installation, your layout, insulation and room sizes are assessed so the unit suits the space.
An oversized system cycles and costs more; an undersized one struggles on cold mornings. A single unit heats and cools one open-plan area; for several rooms, multi-split or ducted options are designed around the home.
Gary's electrical licence allows more work in house, though an electrician is contracted for larger jobs. Only proven, quiet, reliable brands are fitted.
If you are also reviewing water heating, a hot water heat pump is a separate option on its own page, and warming water and rooms efficiently often forms part of the same conversation as solar water heating.

Heat pump servicing keeps efficiency up to scratch
A heat pump service is recommended once a year. Servicing cleans the filters, checks refrigerant levels, tests the electrical connections and clears the outdoor unit of debris. Skipping it lets efficiency slip, which shows up on your power bills before anything obviously fails.
Annual servicing also catches small faults early, when a filter or fan repair is far cheaper than replacing a strained compressor. This suits homes across Waikanae, Paraparaumu and the wider Kapiti Coast, particularly units running hard through winter.
It is worth scheduling alongside your gas appliance servicing so both systems stay in good order.

Heat pump repairs across the Kapiti Coast
Weak airflow, unusual noises, water leaks, ice on the unit or a failure to reach the set temperature all point to faults that need repair.
When you call, the problem is diagnosed on site, common parts are carried in the vans and the fix is completed on the spot where possible. Emergency and after-hours support is available 24/7, with an additional surcharge for callouts outside standard hours.
Faults are often a process of elimination, so investigation time is charged even where no further work follows. Drainage or condensate issues can be handled alongside repairs through our drain repair work.

Most single heat pump installations take one day. The indoor unit is mounted, the outdoor condenser positioned, the pipework and wiring run, then the system is commissioned and tested before we leave.
Multi-room or ducted HVAC systems take longer, and the timeframe is confirmed when the job is quoted.
Heat pump servicing is recommended once a year. Regular servicing cleans the filters, checks refrigerant levels, tests the electrical connections and clears the outdoor unit. This maintains efficiency, keeps power bills down and catches small faults early, before they turn into costly heat pump repairs.

A single heat pump heats and cools one open-plan area effectively. For whole-home comfort, multi-split or ducted HVAC systems condition several rooms from one outdoor unit. During the quote, your layout, insulation and room sizes are assessed to match the right system to the home.
Heat pumps are among the cheapest ways to heat a home. They transfer heat rather than generate it, producing around three to four units of heat for every unit of electricity used.
Choosing the correctly sized unit for each room keeps running costs low and warmth steady.
