Heat pump installation Selwyn homeowners can trust starts with a local electrician. Canterbury winters get cold. As a result, a heat pump is one of the most requested upgrades we see across Lincoln, Rolleston and the wider Selwyn district. GoFox Electrical Christchurch South is based right here in Lincoln, so locally owned and operated.

What Does Heat Pump Installation Selwyn Involve?
Every heat pump job starts with a site visit. This lets us see your home, check your switchboard and talk through your heating needs. From there, we recommend the right size and type of unit for your space. For example, this might be a single high wall unit, or a ducted system for the whole house. We then check whether your switchboard has capacity for the new circuit. If not, we’ll upgrade it before the heat pump goes in. Once everything is confirmed, we install the unit, wire it in and test the system properly. Finally, we walk you through how to use and maintain it.
Servicing Selwyn’s Growing New Subdivisions
Selwyn is one of the fastest growing districts in Canterbury. In addition, new subdivisions are going up across Lincoln, Rolleston and West Melton. Many new homes are wired for heat pumps from the start. However, older properties in established parts of Selwyn often need extra switchboard capacity. We work on both, from brand new builds through to older homes needing an upgrade. For a full breakdown of our electrical services, visit our electrical services page.
Heat Pump FAQs for Selwyn Homeowners
How do I know what size heat pump I need? Specifically, it depends on the size of the room and how well insulated your home is. We assess this during your site visit, so you don’t end up with a unit that’s too small or too large for the space.
Do I need to upgrade my switchboard for a heat pump? Not always. It depends on the age and capacity of your existing switchboard. We check this during your visit, and let you know upfront if you need an upgrade, along with the cost.
Can you service or repair an existing heat pump, not just install new ones? Yes. We service, repair and upgrade existing heat pump systems across Selwyn and Christchurch South, alongside new installations.
How long does a typical installation take? Most single unit installations finish within a day. However, ducted systems or jobs needing a switchboard upgrade first can take longer. We’ll give you a clear timeframe during your quote.
Do you work in new subdivisions as well as established homes? Yes. We regularly install heat pumps in new builds, as well as older homes throughout Selwyn and Christchurch South.
