Plumbing Maintenance & Installations

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 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.

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.

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.

Kevin Henderson (Optum Ltd) did all the plumbing work for our house in Bannockburn, built in 2007. Kevin and his staff brought a high level of expertise to what was a complicated job, which included solar and gas installation, under floor heating, storm water reticulation, and plumbing of kitchen, laundry and bathrooms.

They were a pleasure to have on the job and Kevin ensured that all work was done in a timely manner. The back up and maintenance provided by Optum since the house build has been excellent. Kevin stands by his work. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kevin and his firm. He offers clients integrity, expertise and a professional approach.

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.

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.
