Heat pumps

NZ-made · supplied & installed

We supply and install the New Zealand-made Performance Plus range — pools, underfloor heating, hot water, and dual-purpose units that do two jobs from one machine. Every unit is listed below by use, with its spec sheet. Pricing is on enquiry.

MADE IN NEW ZEALAND

Made here

New Zealand-made range

The whole Performance Plus range is engineered and assembled in Auckland — not containerised in from somewhere else and rebadged on the way past. That is worth something concrete, and here is what.

Local warranty supportThe manufacturer is based in Auckland, so warranty claims are handled locally.
Parts held in New ZealandControllers, fan motors and sensors are held in stock in New Zealand.
Designed for New Zealand conditionsSalt air on the coast, damp through winter, a handful of frosts. The spec sheets say it in their own words: engineered and built in New Zealand.
Built in Auckland
