Heat pump brands we install
Hitachi heat pumps in Wellington
Well-engineered, quiet and built to last, Hitachi is a mid-to-premium Japanese brand we fit for Wellington homes, with reliable units that keep running year after year.
Hitachi is a mid-to-premium brand with solid Japanese engineering, quiet running and reliable, well-built units. Its New Zealand network is smaller than Mitsubishi or Daikin, so the range is narrower, but the units last. Hitachi carries a 5-year warranty, and we fit and recommend it on merit.
Hitachi is one of the brands we fit through our heat pump installation in Wellington. A heat pump is only ever as good as the install behind it, so the brand matters less than getting the size and fit right.
Why Hitachi suits Wellington homes
- Reliable engineering. Hitachi units are well built and dependable, which is what most Wellington homeowners actually want from day-to-day heating.
- Quiet running. They're quiet inside, which makes them comfortable in bedrooms and living areas.
- Built to last. Hitachi's mid-to-premium Japanese build holds up well over the years, so it's worth a look if longevity matters to you.
- Honest note on support. Hitachi's New Zealand network is smaller than the biggest brands, so we'll be straight with you about parts and service availability before you commit.
The Hitachi range
Hitachi covers the common situations with a smaller set of tiers than the largest brands. We'll match the tier to your room and your budget, not push you towards the dearest option, and we'll say plainly if another brand fits your home better. That holds across the heat pump types we install, from a single high-wall to a ducted system.
| Tier | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Value high-wall series | Bedrooms, smaller living areas | Reliable, quiet, keenly priced |
| Premium high-wall series | Main living areas | Higher efficiency, Wi-Fi control, better filtration |
| Floor console | Replacing a fire, rooms with low wall space | Warmth at floor level |
| Ducted | Whole-home heating | Hidden in the ceiling, one system, several rooms |

Warranty
Hitachi heat pumps usually carry a 5-year manufacturer's warranty in New Zealand when fitted by a qualified installer. Because we service what we fit, if a warranty issue ever comes up it's handled by the people who know your system. There's more on that on our heat pump servicing and repairs page.
Who Hitachi is right for
If you want well-engineered, quiet Japanese units that are built to last, and you don't need the widest model range, Hitachi is worth a look. For most buyers we still compare it honestly against the more widely supported brands, including the air-quality-focused Panasonic heat pumps just above it, and the popular cold-climate Mitsubishi Electric heat pump range that completes our brand line-up. We'll lay out the honest trade-offs, including support.
Ducted Hitachi
For whole-home comfort, Hitachi ducted systems are an option worth weighing. See how ducted works and what it costs on our ducted heat pumps in Wellington page, and check current pricing on the heat pump installation cost page before you decide.
