Tauranga heat pump specialists who live and work here

We're Heat Pumps Tauranga, a locally based team fitting heat pumps across the Bay of Plenty. We know coastal salt air corrodes cheap units and that Tauranga homes battle winter damp, so we size and site each install for the house in front of us.

A local crew, not a national chain

We're based here in Tauranga and we cover the harbour and ocean-front suburbs, from the CBD out to Mount Maunganui and Papamoa. Being local means we've seen how the same heat pump behaves differently in a sheltered Bethlehem street versus a Mount house that cops the sea breeze.

That matters because the wrong call costs you. Undersize the unit and it runs flat out on a cold July morning. Put a bargain outdoor unit near the coast and the salt eats the coil in a few years. We'd rather talk you through our heat pump installation service and get it right the first time.

Why salt air and Bay of Plenty damp change the job

Two things shape almost every install we do here. First, the humidity. Tauranga homes hold onto moisture through winter, so a heat pump has to actually dry the air out, not just warm it. Second, the salt. Anywhere near the water, a standard outdoor unit rusts long before it should.

For homes on the harbour or the ocean front we fit units with salt-rated coil treatment and we mount them where they get a bit of shelter and airflow. It's a small detail that decides whether your unit lasts eight years or fifteen. You can see the areas we cover if you're not sure whether your street counts as coastal.

The homes we work on around Tauranga

We've worked on the older bungalows in Ōtūmoetai and Greerton, where the framing and wiring aren't always where you'd hope, and on the new builds going up in Papamoa and Bethlehem. Each throws up its own quirks.

An older place might need careful thought about where pipework runs and how to keep the wall tidy. A new build often just needs the right unit sized for open-plan living. Either way we look at the actual house rather than quoting off a template.

What happens after we've fitted it

We back what we install. We only service and repair the heat pumps we fitted ourselves, so we're not the crew to call about someone else's install. If we did your unit, we're the ones who come back for heat pump servicing and repairs.

If another company put your heat pump in and you're after help, the honest answer is we can look at fitting you a new one, but we won't take on repairs to work we didn't do. Keeping to our own installs is how we can stand behind them.
