We get this question a lot: Should I go for a heat pump or an air conditioner? And our answer’s simple, a heat pump gives you both. It heats, cools, and even helps dry out damp air. One system. One remote. No fuss.
Not much, really. Over in Australia, they call them air conditioners because they mostly use them to cool things down. Here in New Zealand, we’re a bit more focused on staying warm. Either way, it’s the same system doing the job, it’s just what you use it for that changes.
So don’t let the name fool you. That heat pump on your wall? It’s your heater and your cooler and your dehumidifier.
Wairarapa summers can get toasty. When the temperature spikes and the house starts to feel stuffy, just hit the ‘Cool’ button. Your heat pump will pull heat and humidity from the air, helping your home feel crisp and breathable again. Perfect for unwinding after a long day or getting a good night’s sleep, even when the mercury's still climbing.
When the colder months roll in, or let’s be honest, even the odd chilly day in January, a quick flick to ‘Heat’ mode will get your space toasty in no time. Heat pumps warm rooms efficiently and evenly, without that dry or stuffy feeling you get from other heaters. And because you can control the temperature precisely, it’s easy to get things just right.
There’s a setting for that too. The ‘Dry’ mode is brilliant when your place feels damp or if you’ve just cleaned the carpet and want to speed up the drying. It draws moisture out of the air without making things cold. It’s great for rainy days, stuffy rooms, or soft furnishings that need a bit of freshening up.
A heat pump’s versatility is what makes it such a great choice for homes and businesses across the Wairarapa. Whether you’re keeping things warm in Greytown, cooling off in Masterton, or drying out the bach in Martinborough, one unit can do it all, and do it efficiently.
That’s where we come in. We’ll help you find the perfect system for your space, your lifestyle, and your budget. Whether it’s a high wall unit for the lounge or a ducted system for the whole home, we’ll make sure it’s right.
