Working in Leithfield
Leithfield has two distinct kinds of property. The village has older character homes, and the beach settlement has baches and holiday homes that have been extended over the years, often with wiring added in stages by different people. Both benefit from someone looking at the whole installation rather than one fitting at a time.
What we get called to in Leithfield
Bach and holiday home safety checks
Older baches often have overloaded circuits and no RCD protection. We test, report plainly and fix what needs fixing.
Heat pumps for salt air
Outdoor units near the beach need the right placement and coastal protection so the coil doesn't corrode early.
Outdoor and security lighting
Sensor lighting and cameras for properties that sit empty during the week.
Rewires during renovations
When a bach becomes a permanent home, the wiring usually needs to catch up with it.
Heat pumps in Leithfield's climate
Coastal Leithfield is milder than inland North Canterbury, so heat pumps can often be sized a little smaller than the same room would need in Waikari or Hanmer. The bigger issue is salt. We position the outdoor unit out of the prevailing easterly where we can, and recommend a yearly wash and service.
Not sure what size you need? Use the heat pump sizer for a starting figure, then we confirm it on site.
