SOLAR, STORAGE & EV CHARGING

Solar and battery, done once, done properly.

We install GoodWe, Sigenergy and SolaX inverters and batteries, paired with tier one panels from Jinko, Trina, LONGi and Winaico. Which combination goes on your roof depends on the house and the budget, not on who we have a deal with. We will tell you what we are proposing and why before you commit to anything.

ECO FINANCE

Most banks will lend on this at a sharp rate.

Several New Zealand lenders run dedicated eco-upgrade lending for solar, batteries and heat pumps. If you bank with one of them, the monthly cost of a system is often close to what you already pay for power.

HOW IT WORKS

Sunlight in, power bill down.

Panels on your roof absorb sunlight and turn it into DC electricity. An inverter converts that into the AC power that runs your lights, appliances and heat pumps during the day. Anything you generate and do not use is stored in a battery for the evening, or fed back to the grid.

It reduces how much you depend on an electricity retailer, protects you against rising power prices, and lowers your carbon footprint at the same time.

IS YOUR PLACE SUITABLE?

Most roofs work. We check before we promise anything.

Orientation and pitch matter most. North facing gives peak generation, while east to west layouts spread it across the day. We also check shading from trees and neighbouring buildings, confirm the roof structure is sound, look at the roof type, iron or tile, and measure the space you actually have.

Even where the setup is not textbook, modern system design gets good generation out of almost any property. If yours genuinely will not stack up, we will tell you that rather than sell you a system.

WHAT HAPPENS

Four steps, start to finish.

01
Site visit

We come and assess your roof, review your power usage and understand what you are trying to achieve.

02
Proposal

We design a system for your house and give you a clear written proposal with performance estimates and total cost.

03
Installation

Our licensed electricians do the work, and spec things like a solar compatible EV charger or hot water timer so you use the free power rather than export it.

04
Handover

We handle the grid connection, walk you through the system so you can track generation on your phone, and leave the place tidy.

SYSTEMS & WARRANTIES

Gear we would put on our own roof.

We only install equipment from established global brands, industry proven inverters and batteries paired with tier one panels. Every system carries the manufacturer's warranty plus our own lifetime workmanship guarantee.

WHAT IT IS

One unit in the ceiling, every room the same temperature.

A ducted heat pump is one of the most effective ways to keep a whole home or workplace comfortable all year round. Hidden away in your ceiling or under the floor, it delivers warm air throughout the house in winter and cool, refreshing air in summer. Discreet, quiet and efficient, with consistent temperatures and no wall units in every room.

Getting a quote is easy

Choosing the right system does not have to be complicated. We start by visiting your home or business to discuss what you need, look at the layout and answer your questions.

Every home is different, so we recommend a system suited to your space, lifestyle and budget. We will help you decide on zoning as well, so you can heat or cool only the areas you are using and keep running costs down. Then you get a detailed, no obligation quote.

Why homeowners go ducted

Bedrooms actually get warm
One high wall unit in the lounge never reaches the far end of the house. Ducted does.
Nothing on the walls
Slim diffusers in the ceiling, the unit out of sight, the noise outside.
Cooling through summer
Same system, reversed. Wellington summers are getting warmer.
INDICATIVE PRICING

One room, or the rooms that matter.

High walls make sense when you want one or two rooms sorted properly rather than the whole house: a living room, a bedroom, a sleepout. Cheaper to fit than ducted, and you can add heads later.

{{ gstLine }} We fit Fujitsu General and Mitsubishi Electric high walls. Sizes shown are the usual fits. The right unit depends on insulation, glazing and which way the room faces.

SINGLE ROOM INSTALLATIONS

New home, older system, or one room that never gets warm.

Whether you are putting a heat pump in a new build, upgrading something older, or adding heating and cooling to one specific room, we supply and install quality units from leading brands and help you choose the right size for the space.

Our team handles the whole installation, safely and to standard. Every install is backed by our workmanship guarantee alongside the manufacturer's warranty on the unit you choose.

Ducted or high wall?

Go ducted if

You want the whole house at one temperature, you have ceiling access, and you would rather not look at a box in every room.

Go high wall if

You want one or two rooms done well, you are working to a tighter budget, or there is no ceiling space to run ducts through.

SERVICING & REPAIRS

Not heating like it used to?

Regular servicing keeps a heat pump running efficiently, improves how it performs and extends its life. If yours is not heating or cooling like it should, has developed a fault, or is simply due for a routine service, we can help.

We service and repair heat pumps for homes and businesses throughout the Wellington region. We will inspect the system, identify the problem and recommend the best way to get it running again. Book a service, or ask for a free quote on a repair.

HOT WATER & GETTING OFF GAS

The gas line costs you money before you burn any.

Hot water is the cheapest thing to move off gas. Once the hob and the heating follow, the daily line charge goes with them.

HOT WATER HEAT PUMPS

Same hot water, about a third of the power.

A cylinder makes heat with an element. A heat pump moves heat in from outside instead, so it does the same job on roughly a third of the energy. It goes where your current cylinder is.

GET OFF THE GAS

Cut the pipe and the daily charge goes with it.

Most houses come off gas one appliance at a time, which is fine, but the fixed daily charge is owed the whole time the connection is live. It only disappears when the last gas appliance does. That is usually what decides whether the job pays.

What we swap out

Gas hot water

Califont or gas cylinder comes out, hot water heat pump goes in. Usually the first and easiest one to do.

Priced after a site visit
Gas hob

Induction in its place. New dedicated circuit back to the board, which is our end of it.

Priced after a site visit
Gas central heating

Radiators and the gas boiler come out, ducted or high wall heat pumps take over the heating.

Priced after a site visit
Final disconnection

Once the last appliance is off, the connection is capped and the daily charge stops for good.

Priced after a site visit

Every gas job is different, so these are priced after we have been to the house. The calculator above will still show you what the change is worth over a year.

NEW BUILDS & RENOVATIONS

The bit nobody sees is the bit that matters.

First fix, switchboards, and everything back in the wall before the gib goes on. Done so the next sparky through has nothing to swear about.

HOW WE WORK

One team from first fix to final sign-off.

New builds

Pre-wire, switchboard, lighting design, data and the solar and heat pump provisioning while the walls are still open. Cheaper now than retrofitted later.

Renovations

Older Wellington housing stock, old wiring and boards that were never meant for the load. We bring it up to standard without gutting the place.

Working with your builder

We turn up when the programme says we will. If we can't, you hear it from us first, not on the day.

RECENT WORK

Jobs we'd happily show you around.

EV CHARGERS

The cheapest fuel you will ever buy is already at your house.

A proper wall charger on its own circuit, wired to standard, so you plug in at night and forget about it.

HOW FAST DO YOU ACTUALLY NEED?

Most people need less charger than they think.

The car sits on the drive for about twelve hours a night. What matters is whether it is full by morning, not how fast it fills.

Normal wall socket 7 kW wall charger 22 kW three phase
{{ evKmPerHour }}

A 7 kW charger covers almost every household. Three phase is worth it if you have two EVs, do serious mileage, or already have three phase to the house.

{{ gstLine }} We fit Evnex, designed and built in New Zealand. Both chargers are 7.4 kW, which is as fast as a single phase house can go and more than enough overnight. If your switchboard has no spare capacity it may need an upgrade, and we will tell you that on the quote rather than on the day.

What changes the price

How far from the board

A charger on the other side of the house, or out to a detached garage, means a longer cable run and sometimes a trench. It is usually the single biggest variable.

What your switchboard can take

Older boards often have no spare capacity. We will tell you on the quote if it needs upgrading rather than finding out on the day.

Single or three phase

Most Wellington homes are single phase, which caps you at 7 kW. Three phase opens up 22 kW but only helps if the car can take it.

Load management

A smart charger backs off when the oven and the heat pump are both running, which can save you an expensive supply upgrade.

BETTER TOGETHER

Charging off your own roof is cheaper again.

Power you export earns you a fraction of what it costs to buy back. Putting it into the car instead is the best use of it. If solar is on the cards, say so when we quote the charger and we will size and position both together.
