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 itsswimming pool heat pumprange 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 ofswimming pool heat pumpsavailable in New Zealand and export to Chile, Australia, South Africa, USA, Singapore, and the Pacific Islands.
