Get your heating needs sorted before winter arrives Getting your heat pump cleaned out before winter can significantly decrease your heating bill, says South Island Refrigeration and Heat Pumps director Zane Wilson Young. His company is offering a $60 domestic heat pump clean to Canterbury Today readers in Christchurch, down from the usual rate of $120.
Winter heat pump cleaning “Leading into winter, this is the time to get your heat pump cleaned,” Wilson Young says. “Your heat pump can use twice as much power when they’re dirty, as they do when they’re clean. It’s like putting a blanket over the radiator in your car.” South Island Refrigeration and Heat Pumps considers itself to be the home of heating and cooling in Canterbury. It offers a fast, friendly service and will get out to the customer as soon as possible. “We believe we’re the cheapest around for heat pump cleaning. Offering a $60 cleaning service was something I wanted to do for people after the earthquake,” says Wilson Young. “We can’t do it for free but $60 is not a lot to make sure that you’re going to be warm for winter. We will also thoroughly check your heat pump to make sure it’s running properly.” South Island Refrigeration and Heat Pumps can service any brand of heat pump and specialises in supplying new Panasonic, Mitsubishi, LG and Toshiba units. Wilson Young says there are now a lot more heat pumps in Christchurch than there were before the earthquakes. The company is also currently doing a deal on heat pump installations. Customers can buy a Panasonic 6.4 kW heat pump, installed back-to-back for $2700 including GST. South Island Refrigeration and Heat Pumps offers a 24/7 breakdown and repair service for commercial refrigeration units. Owner Zane Wilson Young, who formed the business four years ago, is a refrigeration and airconditioning engineer with a huge knowledge of the industry. Today the company’s work is split fairly evenly between domestic and commercial heat pumps, and commercial refrigeration. Refrigeration usually involves supplying, installing and maintaining refrigeration units in bars, restaurants, coffee shops, breweries and liquor stores. “Our main refrigeration products come from Skope and we do all of their warranty work. So instead of a customer dealing with Skope, we can deal with the warranty for them through Skope. It doesn’t matter who has installed the product,” Wilson Young says. “We also sell new and second-hand refrigeration cabinets and we lease second-hand cabinets.”
The best possible service Wilson Young says his company prides itself on its customer service and offers a lifetime guarantee on workmanship. “If we can’t get it right the first time, then you definitely shouldn’t be paying us to do it again,” he says. South Island Refrigeration and Heat Pumps will travel to any customer throughout Canterbury and help them work out exactly what products they need. “We give them our technical advice on what we believe is best for them. There are so many variations, particularly when you go to do a heat pump installation. It’s not just as simple as putting it up on the wall. We help people find a solution. Our fast friendly service is big and we try to get to the customer as soon as we can,” says Wilson Young. “With refrigeration you can’t leave it for too long, so we have a 24-hour callout service for refrigeration.”
