Heat pump brands — honest advice, genuine choice
We're accredited installers for Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, and Panasonic — and we install all other major brands too. We recommend based on what suits your home and budget, not what we have in stock.
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, and Panasonic
Accreditation means manufacturer-approved training, access to full technical support, and the ability to honour manufacturer warranties. These are the three brands we know inside out.
How the accredited brands compare
The honest answer is that all three brands make excellent heat pumps. The differences come down to specific strengths — here's a straightforward comparison.

|---|---|---|---|
| Long-term reliability | ●●● | ●●● | ●●● |
| Energy efficiency | ●●● | ●●● | ●●○ |
| Noise levels | ●●● | ●●○ | ●●● |
| Humidity handling | ●●● | ●●○ | ●●○ |
| Air filtration | ●●○ | ●●● | ●●○ |
| Smart home / WiFi | ●●○ | ●●● | ●●○ |
| Cold weather performance | ●●● | ●●● | ●●○ |
| Commercial range | ●●○ | ●●● | ●●○ |
●●● = Standout strength | ●●○ = Good | All three brands are excellent — differences are marginal for most residential applications. We'll give you a specific model recommendation based on your room and budget.
Other brands we install
We install all major brands sold in New Zealand. If you've already purchased a unit or have a preference, we can install it. If you're starting fresh and your budget or requirements point to one of these brands, we'll advise honestly.
How we choose the right brand for your home
We don't push a single brand. What we recommend depends on your specific situation — these are the factors we weigh.
