What are the Heat Pump installation regulations in NZ?
When it comes to heat pump installation, we always recommend that you get in touch with a fully qualified heat pump installer. That being said, here in New Zealand, there are regulations for heat pumps that must be adhered to by heat pump installers and property owners alike.
First of all, your heat pump should be installed in accordance with the New Zealand Building Code, and heat pump installers must be registered or certified with a heat pump installation qualification in accordance to the Heat Pump Code of Practice.
Additionally, heat pumps must also be installed at least 1.8 meters away from windows, doors, and vents, as well as being placed at least 2 meters away from combustible material such as wood or synthetic foam.
At Element Air, we take heat pump installation regulations seriously and you can be sure when choosing us that your heat pumps will be installed safely and in accordance with New Zealand regulations.

Leaving a heat pump on all day, do I or don’t I
This is one of Element Air’s most-asked questions. Heat pumps from Mitsubishi Electric do come with settings that will allow you to leave them running all day. However, while heat pumps are incredibly efficient, they can also be expensive to run if left on for too long. That is why Element Air recommends that you set your heat pump’s timer to suit your needs and lifestyle rather than just keeping it going.
The heat pump installation process
At Element Air, heat pump installation is a process that we take seriously. We always start by making sure you have the right heat pump for your home and lifestyle – as well as understanding any heat pump installation regulations that need to be adhered to.
Once the heat pump has been chosen and installed, we will then go through a ‘system set up’ phase – this includes setting timers, settings and heat pump performance.
We understand heat pumps are an investment and that is why we take the time to make sure you get the very best heat pump possible for your home and more than that, have it set up correctly.
