Heat Pumps & Air Conditioning | Grammar Electrical Auckland

What’s the difference between heat pumps vs. air-conditioning?

Heat pumps are now extremely common in New Zealand homes. There has been a dramatic increase in heat pumps in New Zealand over the last 15 years.

Heat pumps and air conditioners are similar in a lot of ways. The only real difference is that heat pumps can provide heating and cooling when needed while an air conditioner can only cool.

Benefits of Heat Pumps	Benefits of Air Conditioners
Lower running costs and long-term savings on energy	Renews and improves air quality
Less maintenance than traditional heating systems	Constant pleasant room temperature
Provide cooling during summer
Long lifespan

Is heat pump installation expensive?

The cost of installing a heat pump depends on the size of your home, any ducting costs involved and the type of heat pump you are after. Talk to our Registered Master electricians who would be happy to offer you a customised solution and quote.

What is the cost of installing air conditioning in my home?

The total cost of installation will depend on the type of unit and system you choose along with your home requirements. If you have a smaller home one unit can make the difference you need, whereas a larger home might need a central air conditioning system installed.

How long does it take to install a heat pump?

Our experienced residential electricians have the expertise required for a tidy installation which can take as little as three hours. More complex installations can stretch over a weekend depending on the type of heat pump and where it is being installed.

Can heat pump installation be done on my own?

Even though us Kiwis have DIY in our blood, there are a lot of factors to consider when installing a heat pump. The type of heat pump unit, installation area, materials involved and equipment all add to the overall cost.

Don’t try to cut costs by installing a heat pump that is too large or small for your home needs. At Grammar Electrical, all our electricians are experienced professionals who are equipped with the knowledge to conduct all heating installations efficiently and safely.

I am not looking to install a heat pump, I am after someone who can service my existing heat pump?

Just like your regular doctor’s visit, your heat pump needs to be checked once a year to make sure it is still running efficiently. Regular cleaning of heat pumps overlooks factors like electrical systems and mechanical operation of indoor and outdoor units. Grammar electricians make sure that your heat pump is running effectively to increase the life of your heat pump.

How long does a heat pump service take?

A comprehensive heat pump check can generally take up to an hour.

Is a heat pump system right for my home?

Not all homes might be suited for a heat pump system. Our electricians would be happy to assess your home and discuss more suitable options like home ventilation systems.

We provide free installation quotes. Get in touch with us to explore your heating options.

Don't waste your time on this business. Had a positive experience getting the quote done, prompt and efficient. From there an absolute waste of time and incredibly unreliable. On the first date scheduled to have the work done, called less than an hour before they were due to cancel. First annual leave day taken to be at home for them to do the work wasted. Second date scheduled, another last minute phone call to cancel. Second annual leave day wasted. Third date scheduled (today) they just didn't show up. They were due at 7.30am but I didn't receive a call until after 3pm. I didn't answer because I am so fed up with this. Received an email to explain they received an urgent call out this morning. Third annual leave day wasted. This is all despite me telling them I had already had two cancellations and requesting a reliable technician be booked. I've told them we will be going elsewhere. They didn't seem bothered. Really shocking customer service, so beware booking their services.

It was a friendly technician who came, but the admin side was really horrible! They over-charged me on the invoice. I called the office lady who treated me in a condescending and outright aggressive way, although she had to admit that an error was made. In general terms, they certainly are on the expensive side ($221.34 for replacing a light bulb socket), which would have been fine, but the arrogant way in which they initially dismissed my friendly query, definitely put me off. Never again Grammar Electrical!

I just LOVE Grammar Electrical, and have done ever since meeting John when he oversaw the electrical work on the home renovation I was doing 15 years ago. Everyone at Grammar is so clued up about what they're doing, incredibly personable, their communications and booking systems work, they are masterful at the technical side of what they do, are outstanding problem solvers, and understand aesthetics. Every single aspect is quality but the piece that is the cream on the top for me is the people. Because of how they naturally are, they grow relationships not just business, and that is why I go back to them time and time again. They are part of my home team! Rob has done the most recent work for me, I hadn't met him before, and he has been just as fabulous to work with as everyone else - both back in the office and out on site. Great big thank you John and all of your team! EB

Send an email to cancel a job coz someone else has got it done.Haven't heard any reply.I have to explain the situation to the poor electrician showed up and sent him away. And of course, still got sent a bill later...Very disappointed. Highly recommend staying away.

Rang to ask for a quote and their estimator came that same day. Got the quote in less than 24hrs. One day after accepting the quote, their guys came and did a fantastic job. Would not hesitate to recommend Grammar Electrical to anyone that is looking for high quality electricians

I can't recommend these guys highly enough - from the first phone call to the job being done could have been within a couple of hours if I had been ready (which I wasn't quite), but as it was - after booking the job at 3pm one day, it was finished before 8am the next by a lovely, polite young guy. Now that is fantastic service!

I've only used these guys once but will definitely use them again. Turned up on time to quote, turned up on time to do the job, and when the job was simpler than quoted, reduced the charge accordingly. What more can you ask for? Thumbs up.

2 days before the wedding and the power keeps randomly tripping out. With out of town family members staying, and the bride living with us and her bridal party getting ready and leaving from our place on the big day, there was a lot at stake. Grammar Electical were busy but thankfully they bumped us up the list and came to see us the very next morning. Thus avoiding any wedding dramas. Thank you Grammar Electical!

Did a fantastic job installing new lights on very short notice after our current fittings stopped working suddenly. Trevor and Aaron were really helpful to deal with despite it being only a small job. Thanks Grammar :-)

I booked a job with Grammar Electrical 1 week ahead of time which they said was no problem. They called the night before to confirm and the electrician would be coming and he turned up right on time. He did an amazing job and the job was done quicker and cheaper than indicated. Would recommend for friends and family

The team at Grammar Electrical were so helpful! They were timely and helped us to consider a number of different options. Thanks so much!

Apart from being ridiculously overpriced, communication with this company has been an absolute lemon. Called up to get a quote, they booked it in as a job. Fair enough, misunderstandings happen. 3 Weeks later, they slap me with a $7k quote (for installing 10 outlets) which I declined since someone else got the job done for less than 3x that. They have since been trying to bill me $420 for the initial quote (this is for no work done, electricians were here for less than 20mins). I've given up trying to call, email and explain the situation with these guys as they seem to either blatantly ignore what I have to say or just don't bother passing the message along between each person I speak to. Highly recommend staying away.

Their electrician arrived promptly, and was incredibly thorough and methodical in tracking down an elusive electrical fault in my house in January 2018. A very impressive bit of work indeed, and this firm is now at the top of my list for future electrical work. My thanks to all staff concerned.

Jonathan Heslop
