What a year 2011 has been!

Thoughts from Graham Parker, our Sales Consultant… What a year 2011 has been!

Our hearts go out to those who lost loved ones in the earthquake. It has been a hellish year for many and one that will affect Canterbury citizens for years to come. If there is any comfort in these trying times - it is the community spirit that has shone through; not only from Cantabrians - but the rest of New Zealand and even other countries in the world. It is what allows us to rebuild homes and hearts.  

Like many in Canterbury, our company since the major earthquakes has had a struggle but I am pleased to report that we are now seeing some light at the end of the tunnel. At present our business is benefiting from an uplift in commercial work, but looking at land sales in Lincoln (where I live), domestic sales will pick up in 2012.

Dont forget that if you are one of those contemplating a new property, it is of course an excellent time for us to carry out a quotation for a home heating solution specific to your home and requirements. All we need are your architectural plans to see what system would be ideal for you. You are more than welcome to drop by our showroom at 36 Brisbane Street or call us on (03)366-3952 to discuss through home heating solutions.

Once our quotation is accepted we work with the Builders programme to ensure the tidiest installation. We complete what we call a ‘pre-pipe’ where all refrigeration/services piping is concealed within the walls/ceiling/uderfloor. Drains are also cut into the concrete slab prior to the pouring. Once the house is upon completion, we return and ‘fit off’ the indoor unit and commission it all to working order.

If the budget is tight, you can also pre-pipe for a given area while in the building stage and then purchase the actual unit later on down the track when the bank balance recovers. All we need to do to achieve this is  retain a copy of your house plans.

Remember one thing - if you are building a new home - heating and ventilation are an important factor in being comfortable and healthy; do not overlook heating systems!! Even if you are looking at altering your current set up - do not leave it until the temperature starts dropping - act now so you are all set for winter 2012. We are stockists for Daikin, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Hitachi and ventilation/heat recovery/heat transfer systems so we will be able to suggest an ideal solution for your new home.  

Our offices close 5:00pm Thursday 22nd December 2011 for the Christmas/New year break. I will be back in the office from Wednesday 4th January so if you wish to receive an obligation free quotation give me a call to arrange a suitable time for us to meet.

In conclusion the team here at Hartnell Coolheat wish all readers of this blog a very happy Christmas and a healthy, successful 2012.
