← All blogs
Quick answer

Delta Air Solutions installs heat pumps in Tauranga, Mount Maunganui, Pāpāmoa, Te Puke and across the Bay of Plenty. Near the coast, the main things to get right are where the outdoor unit goes and how it’s protected from salt air.

The Bay of Plenty has warm, humid summers and mild but chilly winter evenings. A heat pump gives you efficient heating in winter and cooling and dehumidifying in summer, all from one system.

Living near the coast

Salt air is hard on outdoor units. Near the beach in Mount Maunganui and Pāpāmoa, we’ll:

  • recommend models with protective coatings on the outdoor coil where available;
  • place the outdoor unit out of direct sea spray where possible;
  • show you how to rinse the outdoor unit with fresh water now and then.

A yearly heat pump service also helps it last.

Free in-home assessment

We size the heat pump to your room rather than guess. Large, glassy living areas facing the sun often need more cooling than you’d expect. See what size heat pump you need.

Written fixed-price quote

The model, capacity and everything included, in writing, before any work starts. See heat pump installation costs.

Installation and handover

A tidy install, with the electrical connection done by our registered electrician, pressure and leak testing, and a walk-through of the controls when we’re done.

Rentals in the Bay of Plenty

A correctly sized heat pump is the most common way to meet the Healthy Homes heating standard for a rental’s main living room.

Frequently asked questions

Do you install heat pumps in Tauranga?

Yes. We install in Tauranga, Mount Maunganui, Pāpāmoa, Te Puke and across the Bay of Plenty.

Will salt air damage my heat pump?

Over time, salt can corrode the outdoor unit. A coastal-protected model where available, sensible placement and regular rinsing all help it last.

Is a heat pump worth it in a mild climate?

Yes. It is one of the cheapest ways to heat a home, and in the Bay of Plenty you also use the cooling and dry modes through summer.
