Founder-led since 2018

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.

One name on the van, one person on the tools.

Hiko Heating & Electrical — Hiko Heating Ltd — is a Christchurch dual-trade business founded in 2018 by Mitch Cuff, operating from Hillsborough. The idea was simple: most homes need both heating and electrical work, and getting them from two different contractors means two call-outs, two explanations, and the trades blaming each other when something does not line up. One installer across both trades removes all of that.

When you ring, you talk to the person who will actually show up. Mitch measures the rooms, checks the switchboard, looks at the airflow, and tells you straight what the place needs — and what it does not. The gear is always named-brand: Mitsubishi, Daikin, and Fujitsu heat pumps with parts and support available locally, wired and protected by the same hands that mounted them.

The work covers existing homes and new builds alike: heat pump supply and installation sized to the room, switchboard checks and upgrades, new points and lighting, fault-finding and repairs, and ventilation and home heating designed as one system. Every job leaves with the green Hiko installer mark — tidy installs, stickered with pride.

How we work, every time.

Have a yarn first — ring 027 629 0052 or email mitch@hikoheating.co.nz and describe what is cold, what trips, or what is damp. If we are not the right fix, we will say so. If we are, Mitch visits, measures properly, and prices the job to the house rather than the catalogue.

Install day runs Monday to Friday, 9:00am to 5:00pm. Units go up level, lines run plumb and clipped, condensate is dealt with, and the board work is tested under load. Controls are shown on your own remote before we leave — and the site is left cleaner than we found it.
