Air conditioning has become an essential part of comfortable home living, especially in Christchurch's changing climate. For its benefits not only in warming our living spaces in the cool winters, but unlike traditional heaters, air conditioning can ensure that those hot, sleepless nights in the peak of summer are a thing of the past. Especially important for elderly, children and pets who may struggle in extreme temperatures. A quality air conditioning system not only creates consistent temperature, but it also filters out dust, allergens and pollen and minimizes mould and condensation, creating a cleaner and healthier indoor environment.

Air conditioning can come in a number of different forms and can be tailored to suit the home or office space.

HIGH WALL HEAT PUMPS

  • Most cost-effective option

  • Wide range of models and efficiencies

  • Visible on the wall, but doesn't take up floor space

  • Great for small to medium living areas, especially when areas can be closed off

  • Airflow can be uneven in large open-plan areas

FLOOR CONSOLE HEAT PUMPS

  • Great option for living spaces or bedrooms with less wall space or large windows

  • Discreetly sits low like traditional heaters

  • Heat rises naturally so excellent at heating cool rooms

  • Airflow can be blocked by furniture if poorly positioned

CASSETTE HEAT PUMPS

  • Great option for open-plan living areas or commercial/office spaces

  • No wall space required - clean look

  • Access to sufficient ceiling space necessary for install

  • Even airflow distribution

DUCTED HEAT PUMP SYSTEMS

  • Heats or cools the entire home to an even temperature

  • Very discreet, just some small ceiling vents

  • Access to sufficient ceiling space or sub-floor necessary for install

  • Higher upfront cost = strong value add to the home
