High-quality installation
Our Mission
To specify and install the optimal quality heating, cooling and ventilation systems for your unique needs, cost-competitively.
Our approach
We talk and listen
From the first call and home assessment, we work with you to decide on your heating, cooling and ventilation needs.
We measure and check
We visit your space to measure up and give you a verbal indication on price and systems. Once we’re back at the office, we follow up with a written quote.
We provide options
Our knowledge of the local climate means we can recommend the best product options. We carefully consider aesthetics – exactly where heat pumps can be located, and where we can best hide the exterior unit. For ventilation systems, we discuss and recommend vent and switch locations.
We book your installation
When you’re ready to book, we can typically install within a week. Once we’re at your place, it takes a day to install a typical heat pump or around three days for a ducted system.
We remember you
Our customer database records the make and model of your appliance or system, complete with as-built diagrams and photos. We’re always here when you need us, for regular maintenance too.
Our History
SnowTemp began in the 1980s with two men and a van and we’ve been serving the Canterbury region ever since. We’re experts in the local climate and know how to keep the interiors of Canterbury homes, terraces and apartments warm in winter and cool in summer. Locals have relied on us for more than four decades to monitor code compliance closely and keep pace with innovation to make sure our appliances are not only efficient, but also using environmentally friendly refrigerants. Some things we will never change, though – our expert right-sizing, high-quality installation, and trusted local service.
Free home assessment
Site visits are our point of difference. They allow us to fully understand your needs, so our engineers can assess and size your system accurately. We’ll provide a written quote and brochures detailing your unit options, so you can make an informed choice.
Servicing and maintenance for longevity
We keep heating, cooling and ventilation systems running efficiently all year around with annual servicing. SnowTemp engineers travel with a full kit of parts to fix systems when they break down.
