One visit, both trades checked properly.
Most call-backs come from what never got looked at: the room size, the switchboard, the airflow. So Mitch works through the same written checks on every job — watch them get ticked off.
No hype, no jargon. Just the working installer explaining the job clearly, the way a neighbour would want it explained.
What we look for, ticked off live
0 of 5 checked- Room size, insulation & sunRight-sized heat pump for the space — never a guess.
- Outdoor unit position & drainageSolid footing, airflow, condensate dealt with.
- Switchboard capacity & protectionThe electrical side checked before we promise heat.
- Ventilation & moisture pathDamp air out, fresh air in — heating that holds.
- Tidy finish & walkthroughLines clipped straight, controls shown, site left clean.
Scroll into view and each check ticks itself — the way it happens on site.
Three jobs, one team, done properly.
Follow the rail down — each card is a trade we show up for. Every service links to its own page with the full detail.
Heat pump supply and installation
Right-sized Mitsubishi, Daikin or Fujitsu systems, supplied and installed with care — wall-splits for single rooms through to multi-room warmth. We measure the room, check insulation and sun, then mount indoor and outdoor units level, plumb and true.

Electrical services
The second half of the dual trade: switchboard checks and upgrades, new points and lighting, fault-finding and repairs for existing homes and new builds. Safe, certified, and explained in plain language before we start.

Ventilation and home heating systems
Canterbury winters punish damp, still air. We design ventilation and whole-home heating so warmth actually holds — moving moist air out, bringing fresh air in, and pairing it with heat pumps sized for frosty mornings.

8 years on the toolsHiko Heating Ltd — one Christchurch installer across heating and electrical, a reputation built one tidy job at a time.
One visit, every trade covered
3 jobs, 1 teamTap a trade to tick it off — scroll in and they tick themselves, the way a visit runs.
A yarn, a measure, a tidy install.
No pushy sales visit. Mitch comes out, looks properly, and tells you straight what your place needs.
Have a yarn
Ring or email. Tell us what is cold, what trips, what is damp — we will say honestly if we are the right fix.
Measure on site
We visit, measure rooms, check the board and airflow, and size the job to the house — not the catalogue.
Tidy install
Named-brand gear, level mounts, clipped lines, condensate sorted. The site is left cleaner than we found it.
Test & walkthrough
Everything tested under load, controls shown on your remote, and us on the phone if anything puzzles you later.
Mitch Cuff does the mahi himself.
Hiko Heating Ltd started in Christchurch in 2018 — one installer, two trades, and a reputation built one tidy job at a time. When you ring, you talk to the person who will actually show up.

Asked on nearly every visit.
It depends on room volume, insulation, windows and sun — which is why we measure on site rather than quoting blind. A lounge with big glass faces a different job than a sheltered bedroom, even at the same floor area.
Yes — that is the point of the dual trade. If your switchboard needs capacity or protection work before a heat pump goes in, the same team sorts it in the same visit wherever possible.
We do. Heating a damp, unventilated house is pouring warmth into a sieve — so we check the moisture path and talk through ventilation options alongside the heating design.
Cold lounge? Dodgy switchboard? Start with a yarn.
Ring Mitch directly or flick through an email — tell us the suburb, the house, and what is going wrong. We will tell you straight what it needs.
