Heat pump installation West Auckland
We fit heat pumps in homes from Henderson and Te Atatu out to Titirangi and Swanson. Damp villa or new Hobsonville build, we'll size it right and tell you what it costs.
Heat pump installation in West Auckland means picking a unit that can handle damp, humid winters and heat draughty old weatherboard homes. We size, supply and fit heat pumps across Henderson, Titirangi, Massey and the wider west, and give you a fixed price up front.
Heating older weatherboard homes in the west
A lot of West Auckland stock is single-glazed villas and bungalows with little or no insulation. Heat leaks out through the timber, the sash windows and the floor, so a heat pump has to work harder here than it would in a tight new build.
That's fine as long as it's sized for the reality of the house, not the floor plan on paper. In the newer estates around Hobsonville the maths is easier, but even there ceiling height and open-plan living rooms change what you need.
For older homes with limited wall space or a heater sitting where the old fireplace was, we often suggest floor console heat pumps for older homes. They sit low, push heat along a cold floor, and suit villas that never had a good spot for a high wall unit.
Suburbs we cover across West Auckland
We work right across the west: Henderson, Massey, Te Atatu, New Lynn, Glen Eden, Kelston, Ranui, Green Bay and up into the Waitakere foothills at Titirangi and Swanson. The bush-fringed hill suburbs and the low-lying flats near the harbour both trap moisture, so damp is a common thread wherever you are.
West Auckland is one part of what we do. You can see the full list of areas we serve, and if you're across the harbour or south of the city we also handle heat pump installation in North Shore and heat pump installation in South Auckland.
How the install actually works
We start with a look at your home and how you live in it, then match the unit to the room. Getting the size right matters most: an undersized unit runs flat out and never quite warms the place, an oversized one cycles on and off and costs more than it should.
You can get a rough idea yourself and size your heat pump before we visit, and read through how we install heat pumps so there are no surprises on the day. On weatherboard homes we take care running lines and mounting the outdoor unit so nothing lets water in.
Cost and the Warmer Kiwi Homes grant
Price depends on the unit, where it goes and how far we run the pipework. A straightforward high wall in an easy spot is at the lower end; a floor console or a tricky Titirangi hillside run costs more. We'll give you the number before any work starts.
Some households qualify for a government subsidy. You can check the Warmer Kiwi Homes heat pump grant for the eligibility rules and how you apply through EECA, and see what heat pump installation costs for a fuller breakdown.
Servicing the heat pumps we install
We service and repair only the heat pumps we've installed ourselves. We don't take on other companies' installs, so if you want a unit we'll stand behind for the long run, that starts with us fitting it.
For our own customers, the heat pump servicing we back keeps things running through the damp west-coast winters when units work hardest. If you're after a new heat pump or a quote, get in touch and we'll sort the rest.

West Auckland heat pump questions
How much does heat pump installation cost in West Auckland?
It depends on the unit, the room and how much pipework we run. A single high wall in an easy spot is at the lower end, while a floor console or a long run on a hillside site costs more. We give you a fixed price before we start, and some households qualify for a government subsidy that lowers it.
Which heat pump works best for a damp, single-glazed villa?
For a damp, single-glazed villa you want a unit sized generously for the heat the house loses, and one that handles humid air well. A floor console often suits these homes because it warms cold floors and fits where old villas lack wall space. We'll match it to the actual room, not just the floor area.
Can you install a heat pump in a bush-fringed Titirangi home?
Yes. We install in bush-fringed Titirangi homes regularly. The hillside sites and tree cover mean we plan the outdoor unit placement and pipe runs carefully, and the shade and damp make good heating and moisture control more useful, not less. We'll work out the best spot when we visit.
Will a heat pump help with mould and condensation?
It helps a lot. A heat pump warms and moves the air, which lifts the surface temperatures where condensation and mould take hold on cold walls and windows. It's not a magic fix on its own, though. Running it steadily through winter, plus ventilation and any insulation you can add, does the real work in a damp west-coast home.
