Mitsubishi Electric heat pumps for Invercargill homes

Mitsubishi Electric heat pumps are a solid pick for Invercargill. Their high wall units hold heat output well through frosty southerly mornings, and the range covers everything from a small lounge to a whole draughty villa. We install and back them here.

What Mitsubishi Electric offers

The workhorse for most homes is the high wall unit that sits on your lounge wall and heats the main living space. Mitsubishi's high wall range runs from small rooms right up to big open-plan areas, and the better models keep pushing warm air out even when it's near freezing outside. That matters here, because a heat pump that fades off in a hard frost isn't much use in July.

You'll also hear about the Mitsubishi Ecodan, which is a whole-of-house system that heats water for radiators or underfloor. It's a different beast to a wall unit and suits fewer Invercargill homes, so most people we talk to end up with one or two high walls instead. If you're weighing up formats, it's worth reading through the heat pump types before you settle on anything.

Matching a Mitsubishi to your Invercargill home

Sizing is where these installs are won or lost. A single-glazed villa in Windsor or Gladstone loses heat through the walls and windows fast, so it needs more grunt than a floor plan the same size would suggest. Newer Waikiwi builds hold heat better, so you can often get away with a smaller unit and lower running costs.

Valley-floor cold pockets around greater Invercargill also cop harder frosts than you'd expect, so we lean toward a model with headroom rather than one that's borderline on paper. We'll sort the right size when we look at your rooms and glazing during the heat pump installation in Invercargill visit.

Mitsubishi Electric next to the other brands we fit

Mitsubishi Electric sits at the top end on price and finish, and it's earned that reputation for cold-climate performance. But it isn't the only good option. We also install Daikin heat pumps and Hitachi heat pumps, which cover a lot of the same ground, plus Fujitsu heat pumps if you want reliable heating without paying for the premium badge.

Honestly, for most Invercargill lounges any of these will keep you warm. The bigger difference is getting the size and placement right for your home. If budget is front of mind, have a look at the heat pump installation cost before you lock in a brand.

Grants and getting warm for less

If you own your home, have a Community Services Card or live in a lower-income area, you may qualify for help toward a heat pump through the Warmer Kiwi Homes grant. That covers up to 80 percent of the cost of one approved heater in the main living room, capped, with the rest paid by you.

You apply through EECA, not through us, so we can't confirm your eligibility or the final figure. What we can do is quote the install and get the heater fitted once you're sorted.
