Heating & cooling at a glance
- Water heating: constant hot water without constant costs.
- Radiators: zoned heating with optimal control.
- Underfloor heating: regular temperatures across the whole slab of your home.
- Ambient heating: radiant heat from your ceiling, the ultimate luxury.
- Wood & gas fires: cost-effective for small-medium areas.
- Air conditioning: an air-based system like a high wall unit or forced air from vents in the ceiling or walls.
- Ambient cooling: water-based system, where a heat pump cools the warmer water from underfloor or ceiling pipework over time, extracting the heat from the room and returning cooler or chilled water back to the floor or ceiling.
- Home ventilation: home ventilation is essential to control condensation, purify indoor air and create a drier healthier home.
We were very pleased with both your promptness & workmanship and will recommended your firm to others.

Optum carried out the plumbing, gas and drainage services for our latest project in Wanaka. The work was of the highest standard with great communication throughout the project. Their work is the tidiest we have ever seen. We would have no hesitation to recommend Optum to all future clients.

We found Optum Plumbing to be a very professional and easy company to work with, starting from initial consultation and design, right through to installation. The whole job, including ground works for storm water and sewerage, general plumbing and an integrated solar/wet back/radiator central heating system, was completed on time and to quote. Their advice was invaluable, particularly for the central heating system. Their employees worked to high a standard, taking obvious pride in their craftsmanship. Ultimately we have what we want, a simple to heat and warm house, thanks to Optum Plumbing.

Our architect had recommended electrical underfloor heating and whilst the initial capital cost was much less, Kevin convinced us to pay a higher initial cost and pay substantially less as running costs through the year. It took a little while to settle down, but to be fair that was due to incompetence from our electrician and when we got an electrician as competent as our plumber all was fixed and we are good now.

We have an Optum designed heating system installed in our new home which was completed in November 2021. We wished to include a Solar PV heating system in our new house and Optum Plumbing was recommended to us as a local specialist.
We consulted Optum early in our design phase. At all stages of the project, Optum owner, Kevin Henderson was generous with the time he spent with us to ensure we had a good understanding of our system. Following installation, we have also enjoyed excellent back up service from Optum. Kevin and his team are knowledgeable and approachable and we are happy to recommend their services.

Optum Plumbing & Energy Solutions designed and installed an efficient and modern underfloor heating, solar water heating, a Woodpecker pellet boiler and associated controls to our new house build near Cromwell. The design and consultation process was detailed and easily understood and Kevin from Optum expertly outlined the benefits and downfalls of various systems. The entire system is very easy to operate and provides considerable savings on our home and hot water heating. Any initial issues were quickly and expertly resolved and back-up support is always promptly dealt with if required. We are thoroughly impressed with the system and enjoy a warm and comfortable house without excessive energy bills. We could not imagine a better plumbing company to work with.

I’d just like to say thanks for the prompt service and the two tradesman/persons did a great job and were a pleasure to work with! As I’m not a builder from the area I have given my clients your details for any work they may need done in the future.

McHugh Building
When we started planning our build we chose to work with Kevin and the team at Optum because they offered us the most innovative and responsible solutions.
The combination of solar, a smart Stiebel Eltron air source heat pump and a huge insulated hot water tank to efficiently store energy and power our under floor heating has been a revelation. Our lifestyle suits the use of solar and the efficiency of the hot water storage system combined with the solar has created savings that will see the extra cost of the system pay for itself in under 10 years.
We couldn’t be happier with the advice, installation and service we’ve received from Optum with this system.

Optum Plumbing Wanaka are certainly one of the most professional and skilled subcontractors we have ever worked with, not only as individuals but a company who prides itself on working as a team.

I did a big build out in Dalefield. I paid top dollar to get the best of everything. However, I used different suppliers and I ended up with a system that wasn’t integrated, was difficult to use, and just didn’t achieve what was promised.
I got Kevin and Optum involved and they took action to integrate everything and actually make it work.
If I’d had them involved from the start I’d have saved tens of thousands of dollars and I’d have gotten what I wanted.
Don’t make the mistake I did!
