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 hear 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.
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.

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.

Just wanted to convey our thanks to you and your team for your contribution to our project. It has been, overall, as straight forward as it could possibly have been-although the complexities of an off grid system have at times seemed daunting! Kurt and all the others have always been obliging and helpful-including with the ongoing fine tuning of the system.
Kate & John Wood
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.

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.

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 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.
