Heat pumps in Blenheim
Few places in New Zealand get both the heat and the frost that Blenheim does. Long sunny summers make cooling a real priority, and cold, still winter mornings need heating that keeps up.
Blenheim also has rules about older wood burners because of winter air quality, so a lot of homes are switching their main heating to a heat pump. Sizing for the whole living area matters when it is replacing a fire.
We pass the job to an installer who works in Blenheim and the wider Marlborough region, from Renwick to Picton.
Local factors
What affects a heat pump install in Blenheim
The things a local installer will look at when they visit.
Hot summers, frosty winters
The Wairau Plains are dry and sunny, with summer highs well over 30 °C. On clear winter nights cold air settles in the valley and frosts are common. Ask for a unit that performs at both ends, and an outdoor spot that drains well when it defrosts.
1960s and 70s homes, new subdivisions, lifestyle blocks
Brick and weatherboard family homes in Redwoodtown, Witherlea and Mayfield, newer builds in Springlands and Riversdale, and lifestyle blocks out among the vineyards. Lifestyle blocks often have bigger open-plan spaces and longer pipe runs.
Replacing a burner
If the heat pump is taking over from a wood burner, it needs enough capacity to heat the whole living area on a frosty morning. Undersizing is the most common mistake.
Frost and defrost
Outdoor units ice up on cold nights and run defrost cycles. Place them where melt water drains away and will not freeze on a path.
Rural and Sounds properties
Lifestyle blocks and homes towards Havelock, Picton and the Sounds need an installer who travels there. Say the location on the form.
