Heating & cooling comfort

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.

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 were very pleased with both your promptness & workmanship and will recommended your firm to others.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

You guys are "crazy good."

Let's start with your receptionist. The phone was answered quickly and cheerfully. That is so pleasant these days.

We rang about a small but important job on Monday 4 March. It was fixed by the end of the day, by Julien Lopez.

He was very proficient, and took the initiative to check other fittings that may have caused future problems. Julien's  personal demeanor towards us was excellent.

We also had Sam fix our solar panel in early February. Same thing. Sam's work was very thorough. He saw things that the initial installer had not fitted. He has a relaxed personality and took away our anxiety.

You are "crazy good" because Wanaka has experienced a building "boom" during the ten years that we have lived here.This has made it difficult to find people to do repairs, yet you seem to manage that. You told us when it would happen and stuck to that arrangement. The pricing was reasonable too. We have been left with such a good feeling of confidence in your company.

Thank you so much for how you operate, and the standards that underpin you and your company.
