High-wall in Wellington
What to know about high-wall heat pumps in Wellington
Newtown, Berhampore and Thorndon villas need a clean pipe route that does not wreck weatherboards. Hill sections add scaffolding. Hutt and Kapiti family homes are milder, still damp, and usually a living-area high-wall first.
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 high-wall right for your home?
A quick way to tell before the installer visits.
A good choice when
One room you actually live in
Lounge, open-plan, or a bedroom that will not warm. One head, one job, one outdoor unit.
A grant conversation
Warmer Kiwi Homes only funds approved high-wall units in the living area. Floor consoles and ducted are out.
A first unit or a straight swap
Fastest install. Replacement is cheaper when the outdoor pad and hole still make sense.
Consider another type when
Trying to heat the whole house
A hallway head that ‘covers everything’ does not. Use multi-split or ducted, or a second standalone split.
A wall that cannot take the head
No free wall, heritage restrictions, or a room that needs even throw, look at cassette or floor console.

High-wall heat pumps in Wellington: questions
Is a high-wall the right heat pump for Wellington?
Wellington high-walls have to cover south-facing, windy rooms, often 6–8 kW rather than a 5 kW catalogue pick. A sheltered outdoor unit matters as much as the indoor head. A local installer confirms the type and size on site.
What size high-wall heat pump do I need?
A bedroom is often 2.5–3.5 kW. A typical Kiwi living area is 5–7 kW. Christchurch, Dunedin and Invercargill living rooms often need more. Insulation, glazing and a south wall all move the number. The installer sizes on site.
