About Us

Our History

Hot Water Heat Pumps has been operating as a privately owned New Zealand company since its formation by founding Director Don Trigg in 1982. Out of our 13,500 square foot factory in Henderson, Auckland, we’ve built up a solid reputation as a high-quality producer and distributor of heat pump water heaters and water temperature control solutions to residential and commercial customers across New Zealand and abroad.

Hot Water Heat Pumps has a history of timely product innovations, which saw the introduction of high-tech corrosion-resistant tubing within the heat exchanger of its swimming pool heat pump range during the late 1980s. The advancement came after HWHP’s Don Trigg identified a problem with the standard grades of tubing used at the time. These had a tendency to fail when proper pool balance wasn’t maintained, causing considerable damage to the heat pumps refrigeration system.

The company has continued to grow and today, we produce the largest range of swimming pool heat pumps available in New Zealand and export to Chile, Australia, South Africa, USA, Singapore, and the Pacific Islands.

Our Product Technology

At Hot Water Heat Pumps we’re dedicated to advancing energy efficient Heat Pump technology and its applications. In 1996 we introduced the unique "Performance Plus" ™ brand of swimming pool heat pumps to the New Zealand market using titanium tubing within the heat exchanger of the product. Titanium has proven to be an extremely resistant material to corrosion due to pool water chemistry and provides a level of durability in the product previously unseen.

The reliable performance and superior energy efficiency of our technology has seen our products being used across a wide range of applications. Hot Water Heat Pumps has customers that include residential homeowners, hotel owners, city councils, distributors, commercial pool owners, school pool users and marine farm owners. Whatever the application, we offer considered solutions to please residential, commercial and institutional requirements efficiently and economically.
