Heat Pump Installation Feilding
We fit heat pumps in Feilding homes built for the local weather. Straight advice, tidy work, and a quote that tells you what it'll actually cost.
Heat pump installation in Feilding usually runs about $2,500 to $4,500 for a supplied and fitted high-wall unit, depending on the size, the brand and how tricky the run is. We handle sizing, install and testing across Feilding and the surrounding Manawatū plains.
Heat pumps built for Feilding winters
Feilding sits on the open Manawatū plains, and the winters here are cold and damp with those still, frosty mornings that settle in for hours. Add the gap-driven winds coming off the ranges and you've got a home that needs steady heat, not a unit that struggles the moment the frost bites.
That damp cold matters when we pick a unit. On a frosty morning a heat pump has to defrost itself and still keep your lounge warm, so we choose models that handle low temperatures without wheezing. If you want to compare the different types of heat pump, high-wall units suit most older Feilding homes, while ducted or multi-split systems work better in newer sealed builds.
Sizing a heat pump for older weatherboard homes
A lot of Feilding is modest older weatherboard, and those homes lose heat through walls, floors and gaps you can't always see. Get the sizing wrong and an undersized unit runs flat out on the coldest days while an oversized one short-cycles and wastes power.
We work out the size from the room, the ceiling height, insulation and how sealed the place is, not a rule of thumb. You can get a rough idea yourself with our heat pump sizing calculator, then we'll confirm it on site. For the actual fit, our heat pump installation covers mounting, the pipe run, electrical and a proper commissioning test before we leave.
What it costs and the grant to check
Price depends on the unit and the install. A straightforward high-wall in a single room is the cheaper end; a longer pipe run, a harder mount or a bigger living area pushes it up. We break the full picture down on our heat pump installation cost page so there are no surprises.
If your home was built before 2008 and you hold a Community Services Card or live in a lower-income area, you may qualify for help through the Warmer Kiwi Homes grant, which covers up to 80% of the cost of an approved heat pump with a cap. You apply through EECA directly, not through us. Plenty of Feilding's older weatherboard homes fit that older-home criteria well.
For brands, we fit a range and often recommend Mitsubishi Electric heat pumps for their cold-climate performance, but we'll match the unit to your home and budget rather than push one line.

Feilding heat pump questions
How much does it cost to install a heat pump in Feilding?
Most Feilding installs land between about $2,500 and $4,500 supplied and fitted for a single high-wall heat pump. The final figure depends on the size you need, the brand, and how far the pipe run and wiring have to go. Bigger living areas or multi-room systems cost more. We'll give you a fixed quote after we've looked at the job.
What size heat pump do I need for a Feilding home?
It comes down to the room size, ceiling height, insulation and how well the place is sealed, not just floor area. A small bedroom might need a 2.5kW unit while an open-plan lounge in an older weatherboard home could want 6kW or more to cope with our frosty mornings. Try our sizing calculator for a starting point, then we'll confirm it on site.
Can I get the Warmer Kiwi Homes grant for a heat pump in Feilding?
You might. If your home was built before 2008 and you have a Community Services Card or live in a lower-income area, Warmer Kiwi Homes can cover up to 80% of an approved heat pump up to a cap. You apply through EECA, not through us. A lot of Feilding's older homes meet the age rule, so it's worth checking your eligibility.
How long does a heat pump installation take?
A standard single high-wall install is usually done in a day, often half a day if the run is simple. More complex jobs, like a longer pipe run, a tricky mount or a multi-split system, can take longer. We'll tell you what to expect when we quote so you can plan around it.
