Fujitsu heat pumps for Invercargill homes
Fujitsu makes a reliable, well-priced heat pump that suits older Southland cottages. We'll size one properly and fit it right.
Fujitsu is a good middle-ground heat pump brand: dependable, efficient and easier on the budget than the top-tier names. The high wall models heat Invercargill's single-glazed cottages well through a long, damp winter without pushing your power bill up.
Why Fujitsu is a solid value pick
Fujitsu sits in the sweet spot for a lot of Invercargill homes. You get quiet, efficient heating and parts that are easy to get, without paying for the very top shelf. For a family in an older Kew or Hawthorndale place who wants warmth without a big outlay, that matters.
It's not the flashiest brand on the market. But the running costs are good, the units last, and the price leaves you room to do the job properly. If you want to weigh it against the dearer options, have a look at Daikin heat pumps and Panasonic heat pumps too, and see where your budget lands.
Fujitsu high wall units for older cottages
Most Invercargill homes we fit end up with a Fujitsu high wall unit mounted in the main living area. It's the simplest, most affordable way to heat a single-glazed villa or bungalow, and it moves warm air through the space quickly on a cold morning.
A high wall isn't your only option though. If you've got a hallway that never warms up or rooms you want to heat off one system, other heat pump types like ducted or floor consoles can suit better. We'll tell you straight which one fits your layout.
- Good heat output for the price
- Quiet enough for a bedroom or living room
- Easy to service and get parts for
- Dries out a damp Southland home over winter
Sizing a Fujitsu for a single-glazed Southland home
Getting the size right matters more than the brand. Our old cottages leak heat through single glazing and thin walls, so an undersized unit runs flat out and never quite gets there. Too big and you've spent money you didn't need to.
We measure the room, look at the glazing and insulation, and pick a Fujitsu that'll cope with a valley-floor cold snap in Richmond or Appleby. A tidy heat pump installation in Invercargill makes a real difference too, with the outdoor unit placed to shed frost and drain properly.
What a Fujitsu costs to buy and fit
A Fujitsu high wall supplied and installed usually lands at the more affordable end. The final number depends on the size, where the outdoor unit goes and the pipe run, so we price each job on what we see. Our page on heat pump installation cost walks through what pushes the price up or down.
If money's tight, it's worth checking the Warmer Kiwi Homes grant. EECA can cover up to 80% of the cost of one heat pump for eligible homeowners, up to a cap. You apply through EECA directly, not us. Prefer a different brand? Compare Hitachi heat pumps as well, then give us a call on 03 244 7345 to talk it through.

Fujitsu heat pump questions
Are Fujitsu heat pumps any good?
Yes, they're a dependable brand and good value for money. You won't get every feature the top-tier units have, but for heating an Invercargill home efficiently through winter, Fujitsu does the job well and the units last.
How much does a Fujitsu heat pump cost to run?
Running costs depend on the size of the unit, how well your home holds heat and how long you run it. A well-sized Fujitsu is efficient and cheaper to run than a plug-in heater, but a single-glazed cottage will always cost more to warm than an insulated one. We can give you a realistic idea when we quote.
Do Fujitsu heat pumps work in cold climates?
Yes. Fujitsu units keep working through the cold, damp winters we get off Foveaux Strait. On a hard frost the outdoor unit will pause now and then to defrost itself, which is normal. Correct sizing and good placement of the outdoor unit are what keep it heating well on the coldest mornings.
