Heat Pump Installation in Levin

We install heat pumps across Levin and the wider Horowhenua, from Foxton and Shannon to the beach settlements. Most jobs are a single high-wall unit in an older weatherboard home, fitted in a day. We size it to your rooms, sort the wiring, and give you a fixed price up front.

Heating older Horowhenua weatherboard homes

Levin has a lot of modest single-glazed weatherboard homes, and they feel it in winter. The damp comes off the coast, the walls hold the cold, and a poorly heated place stays raw right through the grey months. A heat pump is the cheapest way to shift that, because it moves heat rather than burning power to make it.

For most homes here a high-wall unit in the main living area does the heavy lifting. Get that room warm and dry and the whole house feels better. If you've got a hallway that never sees sun or a bedroom that stays cold, we can look at floor console heat pumps, which push heat low and suit older homes with limited wall space.

There's no single right answer for every home, so it pays to read up on the types of heat pump before you decide. We'll walk you through what actually fits your layout when we visit.

What happens on install day

A standard single-unit heat pump installation takes most of a day. We mount the indoor head, fix the outdoor unit on a wall bracket or ground stand, run the pipework and drain, and connect the power. We tidy up, test it, and show you how to run it properly so you're not paying for heat you don't need.

Getting the size right matters more than the brand. Too small and it struggles on the coldest Levin mornings, too big and it short-cycles and costs you more. Our heat pump sizing calculator gives you a rough guide, then we confirm it in person.

Heat pump prices in Levin

A typical high-wall install in a Levin home lands in a normal band for a single unit fitted in a day, and it climbs from there for bigger units, longer pipe runs or trickier mounting. Every home is different, so we price yours after we've seen it rather than quoting a number over the phone.

We break down the full heat pump installation cost so you can see the unit and the labour separately, with no surprises on the invoice.

The Warmer Kiwi Homes grant in Horowhenua

A lot of older Levin and Foxton homes qualify for help with a heat pump. The government's grant covers up to 80% of the cost of an approved heater, capped at a set amount, for eligible owner-occupiers, usually those with a Community Services Card or in a lower-income area. You apply through EECA, not through us, and they confirm whether your home qualifies.

We're not an EECA-registered provider, so we can't administer the grant for you. But we can talk you through how the Warmer Kiwi Homes grant works and quote you a subsidy-friendly high-wall replacement. It's worth checking, because the single-glazed weatherboard homes common around here are exactly the ones the scheme is aimed at.

Where we work around the Horowhenua

We're based up in Palmerston North and cover the Horowhenua south, including Levin, Foxton, Foxton Beach, Shannon, Waitārere Beach and Ōhau. The coastal settlements get the worst of the wind and salt, so we set the outdoor unit up to handle it.

You can see all the areas we serve on our areas we serve page, and if you're further north we also do heat pump installation in Feilding. Not sure which unit suits your home? Start with the sizing tool or give us a call.
