Sleeping on a hot summer’s night is easier said than done. You can kick off all the blankets and cover yourself with little more than a sheet, but there are still times when you’ll toss and turn all night.

Humidity, in addition to heat, may also add to your sleep problems. Obviously, the answer is to create a room that is cool enough to promote a good night’s sleep. One of the first things you can do is get in touch with us. … Read More

Spring is the season when some people take on a whole new lease on life. They feel energised, fit and frisky. On the other hand,  there are many other unfortunate people who just feel downright sniffly, sneezy and wheezy.

One of the things we notice most often when doing a heat pump service in Wellington or in Auckland for that matter is the number of shrubs and bushes that have been planted to conceal the outside heat pump unit. While these plants look nice, and we certainly appreciate that they’re there for aesthetic reasons, we have to question whether they’re stopping the heat pump from operating at full capacity.

This allows the unit to disperse air more easily and avoid overworking. … Read More

As heat pump specialists, we’ve seen quite a few brands and models over the years. And, we’ve heard just as many. Let’s just say that some were quite a bit louder than others, particularly in the early years of heat pump technology in New Zealand.
