Heat Pumps NOW Turns 2!
Some said he was a fool, but on April 1st 2014 Blair Ashdowne created Heat Pumps NOW to serve his local Christchurch community.
The dream started in the aftermath of the Christchurch earthquakes. In October 2013, Blair was working alone on a large commercial heating and air conditioning site. People had already been coming to him for a while to help them with their heating and air conditioning. Blair heard so many stories of unhappy homeowners dissatisfied with the way they’d been treated by heat pump installers.

Founded on April 1st, Nobody Believed It Was Our Birthday!
With so many large commercial projects up for grabs, existing heat pump companies were losing interest in installing small, residential heat pumps.
Heat Pumps NOW was born two years ago out of a desire to provide honest heating solutions, and take care of the community.
Two years have just flown by, and just look how far we have come. When Heat Pumps NOW first started, people said there was no point in challenging the big boys. The Christchurch Rebuild was starting to ramp up and larger heat pump companies seemed to have a stronghold on the market.

Blair’s first goal in business was just to survive the first two years. Around 80% of start-up businesses fail to make it this far. Many would say Heat Pumps NOW has done more than just survive. Heat Pumps NOW has thrived in Christchurch.
Blair has brought more people on board to help him with installations. James, Kris, Emily, Kahla, Joel and Cameron joined the Heat Pumps NOW family. He’s already interviewing another part-time installer.
Local community continues to be a priority, and Heat Pumps NOW Pays it Forward whenever we can. We’ve helped fundraise for worthy causes, given some people a hand up, and given away so many prizes on Facebook. We’ve been involved in local schools and Young Enterprise around Christchurch, won some national business awards and even featured in NZBusiness magazine!
Two years on, people still want the same things as they did when Heat Pumps NOW started. You want to be seen as soon as possible, and have your heat pump needs taken care of so you’re not living in a cold home any longer than you have to. We recognize the warmth of your home has an impact on your family’s health and wellbeing, and Heat Pumps NOW wants to take care of you as soon as possible.
Another milestone to show how far we’ve come in two years is Heat Pumps NOW’s new premises in the Home Ideas Center in Riccarton! If you’re thinking of building or renovating and you’re getting ideas for your lounge, kitchen, and bathroom, check out stand number 207 about Mitsubishi ducted systems. Or you pop upstairs and have a quick chat with us about staying warm in winter and cool in summer. We’re happy to help!
