Pinehill has a mix of family homes and larger executive properties, and the right heat pump system depends on what you are working with. For homes with open-plan living, vaulted ceilings, or concrete slab floors, Craig assesses the specific characteristics before recommending anything. For a straightforward install, the process is just as simple as anywhere else on the North Shore.
Local knowledge: Vaulted and raked ceilings are common in Pinehill's executive homes and they create a specific problem for high-wall units. Hot air rises and collects at the ceiling peak, leaving the occupied part of the room cold even when the unit is running. A ceiling cassette or ducted system distributes air more evenly and is a much better fit for these spaces.
Pinehill has standard family homes as well as larger executive builds. For the newer, larger homes, three construction characteristics often affect the system choice.
The system type is identified before any brand or model is discussed. In a vaulted living area, getting the system type right matters more than which brand is on the unit. Craig raises this at the site visit before quoting.
The heat load is calculated for your specific room dimensions, ceiling height, glazing, and orientation. A correctly sized system maintains temperature without running flat out, uses less power, and lasts longer than an undersized unit working too hard.
Craig backs every install with a 12-month workmanship guarantee on top of the manufacturer warranty. He only services what he installs. If something is not performing correctly within that period, he comes back without question.
All wiring is carried out by registered electricians. You receive an Electrical Certificate of Compliance on completion, a legal document required for your home's records and any future sale.
