Why Locals Trust Element Air

We’ve helped hundreds of Kiwis create perfect indoor climates — from cosy homes to busy workplaces, all over the North Island. But don’t just take our word for it — here’s what some of our happy customers have to say.

“Wow this company is awesome, I’d highly recommend them. We live in Auckland and have a holiday home in Turangi. James was so helpful and organised and installed a heat pump for us in under a week. I asked if it could be done (feeling very cheeky) prior to family going down at the weekend and he did it. So amazing to find people like this. He even went down to our house from Taupo on the Sunday to have a look at what was needed. We recently renovated our home in Auckland which has been nothing short of an absolute nightmare with trades people. James is an absolute gentleman. Thank you so much, we really appreciate how quickly you did this for us and how easy its been to communicate with you.”


Maree Eketone

“Such a great fast response, we were given a quote really quickly. we were really impressed by how James worked with us to make a convenient time being a working couple. He was thorough and explained what he had done, we highly recommend element air and will be using again for sure.”


Sam Akthar

“We recently choose to use element airs service again due to previous satisfaction. We at Ngati Pikao Health Services would like to say thank you so much. All units were installed and running in one day!!, No disruption to the flow of the service. Fast, efficient with no compromise to quality work. It is wonderful to now work in luxury controlled temperature but most important our community we serve are now seen in comfort and frequently show appreciation coming into a pleasant temperature inside from the cold outside. Thank you fast, efficient, professional service who always delivers quality all-round!”


Trish Flood

“Element Air is a great company to deal with, excellent communication from the quote through to job end. James is very knowledgeable and provided the right ducted system for us that has surpassed our expectations. Highly recommend them!”


Dave Jones

“I recently had James install a heat pump in my small rental property. He has a wealth of knowledge about heat pumps, giving me a range of options and prices to choose from and also giving a recommendation as to what would work best in my property. James completed the job to a high standard and followed up the job with photos which I think is great, especially if you own a property and live out of town so can’t see the job in its completion straight away. I would highly recommend his work. Thanks again James!”
