Out: Gas heaterIn: a heat pump sized to the room
Unflued cabinet gas heaters tend to be the dearest way there is to heat a room.
A rental’s main living room needs a fixed heater that can heat it directly: open fires and unflued gas heaters don’t count.

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 teamThe heating standard in plain words
- One or more fixed heaters that can directly heat the main living room.
- Fixed, not portable, and at least 1.5 kW each.
- Not an open fire, and not an unflued gas heater such as a portable LPG bottle heater.
- A heat pump or an electric heater must have a thermostat.
- Where the room needs more than 2.4 kW, electric heaters other than heat pumps don’t count.
Since 1 July 2025 every private rental has had to meet the healthy homes standards. The government’s online heating assessment tool works out the minimum heating capacity the living room needs.
A heat pump already on the wall still has to be fixed, have a thermostat and be big enough for the room. An old unit that’s too small for the living room doesn’t meet it, and that’s a replacement job.
Sized to the room
Send the room’s required heating capacity if you’ve run the tool, or the room’s size and windows if you haven’t. Mahdi matches the heat pump to it, so the unit is at least the capacity the room needs and heats it properly on a frosty morning.
A heat pump with a thermostat ticks the standard’s boxes, and it costs less to run than the plug-in heaters tenants reach for when a room stays cold. Where the room needs more than 2.4 kW, plug-in electric heaters don’t count at all.
Beyond the living room
The standard is about the main living room, but tenants feel the cold in the bedrooms too. A multi-room system warms the bedrooms off the same outdoor unit, and a warm, dry house is an easier one to let through an Invercargill winter.
For landlords and property managers
One rental or several, we quote each property and set install days that suit your tenants. Mahdi works weekends, which suits a lot of tenants who are at work through the week.
Every install is wired in by Mahdi, a registered electrician, from the switchboard to the unit.
Great job, well priced and appreciated going the extra mile to complete the job on a saturday as well
Install day with tenants in
We confirm the day with you and your tenants, arrive when we say, and work in the living room and outside only. The new unit is run up, and the tenants are shown the remote and the timer before we leave.
Old heating in a rental
An open fire or an unflued gas heater doesn’t count for the standard. Inside the Invercargill airshed, a burner put in before September 2005 can’t be used at all. A heat pump settles both.

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.
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.
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.

Questions
Not covered here? Ring 0800 164 106, or add your question to the form.
Does a heat pump meet the Healthy Homes heating standard?
A fixed heat pump with a thermostat, at least the capacity the main living room needs, is one of the heaters the standard accepts.
What do you need to quote a rental?
The address, the living room’s required heating capacity or its size, a photo of the living room wall and any old heater, and the best days for access.
Can you deal with my property manager?
Yes. Put their details on the form, and Mahdi arranges the quote visit and the install with them.
Can you install on a Saturday?
Yes. Mahdi works weekends, which often suits tenants better than a weekday.
