Who sells Daikin heat pumps in New Zealand?
Daikin Air Conditioning New Zealand supplies Daikin units through independent installers around the country. As with every brand, the installer quotes, installs and commissions the system, and the manufacturer stands behind the equipment under warranty.
NZ Heat Pumps sells fixed-price heat pump installs, done by a contracted installer. We are not affiliated with any heat pump brand and aren't paid by brands. We have not tested these units ourselves; everything on this page comes from the brand's NZ information and the independent sources listed below.

What does the Daikin warranty cover in NZ?
Daikin's 5-Year Parts and Labour warranty applies to all Daikin split, multi-split and ducted air conditioners professionally installed in domestic premises in New Zealand.

How do independent surveys rate Daikin?
Daikin won Canstar Blue's 2026 Most Satisfied Customers award for heat pumps in New Zealand, with 5 stars for overall satisfaction. Canstar's research was finalised in November 2025 and rated brands on functionality, quietness and value for money as well as overall satisfaction. Customer satisfaction surveys reflect owners' experiences across a brand, not the performance of a specific model in your home.
Which homes suit a Daikin heat pump?
- Households that want a choice of looks and sizes within one brand, from compact bedroom units to large living-area units.
- Homes with no good wall space, where the Aura floor-standing unit may fit under a window.
- Whole-home projects using ducted systems with AirHub zoning so bedrooms and living areas can run separately.
- People who want app control through the Daikin Mobile Controller app.
What should you check before choosing Daikin?
- Which series you are being quoted. A Lite and an Alira X of similar kW are different products, so compare like with like.
- The heating output at low outdoor temperatures if you live somewhere with frosty winters.
- The Energy Rating Label stars for the exact model, using the Gen Less appliance calculator.
- Whether the quote includes a Wi-Fi adaptor if you want app control, since not every model includes one.
If you are deciding between Daikin and another major brand, our guide to comparing heat pump quotes sets out the criteria that matter more than the badge.
