Heat Pumps for Riccarton Homes, Rentals & Businesses

Riccarton is one of central Christchurch's busiest and most varied suburbs, a mix of older character villas and bungalows, newer townhouses and flats, the student-heavy streets near the University of Canterbury, and the retail and hospitality strip along Riccarton Road through to Church Corner. The older housing in particular, with its high ceilings and single glazing, is exactly the sort of home that gets a big comfort and power-bill win from a modern heat pump replacing old electric or fixed heating.

Chill Air covers the whole of Christchurch, so Riccarton is right in our patch. Owner Greg is a certified refrigeration engineer who'll size the system to your room and place it for even, quiet heat, whether it's the living room of a family villa, a tidy unit you rent out, or the front of a Riccarton Road shop.

Landlords: Healthy Homes Heating, Sorted

Riccarton has a lot of rental housing, and the Healthy Homes standards require a fixed heater that can warm the main living room to 18°C. A correctly sized heat pump is the simplest way to meet that standard and keep tenants comfortable. We'll assess the living area, recommend the right capacity, and give you the paperwork you need.

How much does a heat pump cost in Riccarton?
A single high-wall heat pump supplied and installed in Riccarton typically ranges from around $2,000 to $5,000, depending on the size and brand of unit and how straightforward the install is. Larger multi-room, ducted or whole-home systems cost more. Every home is different, so the only accurate figure is a free, no-obligation quote for your place.
How long does a heat pump installation take in Riccarton?
Most standard single-unit installs in Riccarton are finished in a day. We arrive on time, protect your floors, fit and commission the system, then give you a clear handover before we leave. Larger or multi-room systems can take a little longer, and we'll let you know upfront when we quote.
