Ducted in Wellington
What to know about ducted heat pumps in Wellington
Earthquake-strengthened inner-city buildings can limit penetrations. Say the building name on the form. Most hill villas should not force ducts into a shallow roof.
The capital is wet and windy. South-facing rooms and houses on the hill stay cold even when the north side is fine. Capacity still has to match the room, a pretty 2.5 kW head in a draughty lounge will never catch up.
Is a ducted right for your home?
A quick way to tell before the installer visits.
A good choice when
A new build or a gut renovation
The ceiling can be designed for ducts, returns and service access. This is when ducted makes sense.
You want the hardware invisible
No heads on the walls. Zoning so the guest room is not on the same setpoint as the lounge.
Consider another type when
A villa with no roof space
Forcing ducts into a shallow ceiling is a noisy, expensive disappointment. Use multi-split or several high-walls.
You need the grant this year
Warmer Kiwi Homes is high-wall only. Do the living area first if funding matters.

Ducted heat pumps in Wellington: questions
Is a ducted the right heat pump for Wellington?
Ducted in Wellington is uncommon in character villas and more plausible in newer Hutt or Kapiti builds with a designed ceiling cavity. A local installer confirms the type and size on site.
Can I retrofit a ducted heat pump into an older house?
Sometimes, if the roof space is deep enough and there is a return-air path. Many villas and low-pitch 70s houses cannot take it cleanly. The installer should look before you budget for it.
Is ducted cheaper to run than several high-walls?
A well-zoned ducted system can be efficient. An unzoned unit heating empty bedrooms is not. Running cost is about zoning and insulation, not the word ‘ducted’.
