Hi there,
I just wanted to let you know that we've created a really easy way to buy and new heat pump and get it installed. Usually the first question we get asked about heat pumps is "how much do they cost?". So we've created an online shop with sharp prices that include the heat pump and a basic back to back installation. Have a browse at shop.wakefieldelectrical.co.nz. And just in-case you wondered who we are? We're a really local Christchurch company (we live in Cashmere and have a workshop in Sydenham).
