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.
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!

When looking for options to upgrade our heating system I approached 3 different companies to put forward options and pricing, and from the moment I met Keven Henderson he stood out as somebody who knew heating systems and what would be the best option for us.
An itemised quote was received in a timely manner and Optum Plumbing and Energy Solutions were accepted as the contractor for the supply and installation of a new heat-pump hot water heating system to work with our existing underfloor heating system control panels and in-floor pipework.
The work was carried out and completed on schedule and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome, the final result in energy cost savings switching form a gas boiler to the new Heat-Pump system has more than halved our winter combined Electricity and Gas usage costs.

We had a complex build in Wanaka for our home.
Optum service was excellent and of the highest quality critical to the success of the build.
After completion when further extensions were planned also they were interested efficient and approachable in their service with a total professional standard.
Both Isabelle and I would highly recommend them to any person contemplating a build, extension or repair.

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.

We made the right choice using Optum for our plumbing. Our rural block and non-standard heating system were well designed and the team went above and beyond to fine-tune and have it working as we wanted. We learned that plumbing is not an area to cut costs and it really makes a difference having a team who are skilled and familiar with complex systems and new technologies. We would certainly use Optum again.

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.

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.

Kevin and the Optum team designed and built our first Solar Hot water system in Wanaka in 2010 and eleven years later it is still working faultlessly. Like all satisfied customers 10 years later we came back to the guru’s at Optum who provided us with invaluable advice for optimising a ‘no carbon’ solar hot water solution, to meet the underfloor and hot water requirements for our new SIPS panel passive house which we have built in Invercargill.
These guys are innovators and absolute experts in all aspects of service provision, are professional and are a pleasure to deal with. We have no hesitation in recommending them to other prospective customers and we look forward to working with them again on our next build.
