Working in Waikari and Hawarden
This is limestone farming country with some of the oldest housing stock in the district. Villas and farmhouses built long before modern wiring rules are common, and many have had power added to sheds, yards and cottages over decades. We're used to working out what's actually connected to what.
What we get called to in Waikari and Hawarden
Rewires and partial rewires of older homes
Replacing perished rubber and early plastic cabling, adding earthing and enough outlets so extension leads can be retired.
Farm electrical
Woolsheds, workshops, pumps, yards and staff accommodation. Done to cope with dust, damp and stock.
Cold-climate heat pumps
Inland frosts are hard on a standard unit's output. We specify models that keep delivering heat below zero.
Heat transfer for big old houses
Moving spare warmth from a log burner or lounge heat pump into cold bedrooms down the hall.
Heat pumps in Waikari and Hawarden's climate
Inland and higher than the coast, Waikari and Hawarden get long runs of frosty mornings. A heat pump that is only just big enough on paper will struggle at minus five. We allow for that in the sizing and usually recommend Mitsubishi Electric's HyperCore range for main living areas.
Not sure what size you need? Use the heat pump sizer for a starting figure, then we confirm it on site.
