Floor-mounted heat pumps are an excellent heating and cooling solution for New Zealand homes with limited high-wall space, large windows or low, sloped ceilings. Sitting discreetly at floor level, they provide exceptional comfort by delivering warmth from the ground up — highly effective for the cooler Kiwi climate.
Why this works
Ground-Up Heating
Because warm air rises naturally, heating from floor level provides faster, more evenly distributed comfort across your living space.
Discreet Renovation Choice
Their slimline profile fits perfectly into wall cavities left by old fireplaces or night-store heaters.
Easy Maintenance
Filters sit much lower down, making them significantly safer and easier to access for regular cleaning.
Flexible Installation
Can be completely exposed, semi-recessed or fully recessed into a wall to blend seamlessly into your interior décor.
Perfect Under Windows
Sits below window height, won't clash with picture rails, curtains or sloped ceilings.
Even Comfort
Combines radiated and convected heat for a more natural, comfortable warmth.
