Heat pump installation in Bluff

Bluff has been switching to heat pumps fast, but plenty of homes still burn wood or coal. Mahdi and our heat pump installer put in heat pumps sized for the room, with the outdoor unit set out of the Foveaux Strait wind.

Out with the old

A living room wall in an Invercargill home on a frosty night: the old heater goes, and a high-wall heat pump goes up above the sofa

Out: Old wood burnerIn: a heat pump sized to the room

Bluff sits outside the Invercargill airshed, so there’s no burner date here: a heat pump is about warmth on tap and no fuel to haul.

Mahdi and our heat pump installer do every job together: the unit, the pipe run and the wiring. At the quote visit, Mahdi looks at the room, where the outdoor unit can go and your switchboard’s capacity, then quotes.

About Mahdi and the team

What we do in Bluff

A heat pump in the living room takes over from the burner: heat at the press of a button, a timer for the mornings, and no wood or coal to buy and carry in. For the bedrooms, a multi-room system runs off the same outdoor unit.

Mahdi comes down from Invercargill to measure up and quote, and wires every install in himself.

In Bluff, Mahdi also checks how the pipe run and the outdoor unit will sit against the weather side of the house, and keeps both tucked in where the wind can’t get at them. The circuit runs from your switchboard as part of the same job.

Wind, the hill and the burner

Bluff sits outside the Invercargill airshed, so the burner dates don’t apply. More homes here still burn wood or coal than in the city, and the number with a heat pump has climbed quickly in recent years.

Places around Foveaux Strait get strong winds often, and Bluff Hill, Motupōhue, gives the town some shelter from the westerlies. Mahdi picks a spot for the outdoor unit on the lee side of the house, clear of the worst of it, with space for air on both sides.

A heat pump sized for the room carries it through a Southland winter without the wood box or the coal bin, and on a timer the house is warm before you’re up.

How a job runs in Bluff

  1. Send a photo, or call

    Use the form with a photo of the wall and the old unit or heater, or call 0800 164 106.

  2. Mahdi comes out and quotes

    He looks at the room, where the outdoor unit can go and your switchboard’s capacity for the new circuit, then quotes the heat pump and the wiring together.

  3. Install day

    Mahdi and our heat pump installer take the old unit down if there is one, put the new indoor unit up, set the outdoor unit and run the pipes, and Mahdi wires it in from the switchboard.

  4. Warm and handed over

    We run it on heat, set the timer with you and show you the filter: a clean once a month through winter keeps it working well.

Great service from Power Surge Ltd. Professional, reliable and high-quality electrical work. Highly recommended.

Tips for Bluff homes

  1. Send a photo of the sheltered side of the house for the outdoor unit.
  2. Say which rooms the burner heats now, so the heat pump can take them all on.
  3. Book before the frosty months, while the install days are easy to find.
  4. Say whether the burner also heats water or a second room: it changes what the heat pump needs to take on.

Bluff questions

Do you come down to Bluff?

Yes. Mahdi comes to Bluff to measure up and quote, the same as anywhere in Invercargill.

Will the wind affect the outdoor unit?

Mahdi sets it on the sheltered side of the house with clear space round it, so it isn’t facing the full force.

Can a heat pump replace a coal burner?

Yes. A heat pump sized for the room takes over the heating, with no coal to buy or store.

We also put heat pumps in nearby in Otatara and Strathern. All areas

Say what heats the room now and which room needs the heat. A photo of the wall and the old unit or heater lets Mahdi see the job before he comes out.

Handy for Mahdi’s quote

  • A photo of the wall where the heat pump will go
  • The old heat pump or heater, and the label on an old unit
  • Which room, and roughly how big it is
  • Your suburb or town

After you send it, Mahdi rings or emails to go over the heating you have now and book a visit to measure up and quote. Rather ring? 0800 164 106.

What do you need?

    Snap the wall where the heat pump will go and the old unit or heater: Mahdi sees the job before he arrives.
