Canterbury’s Climate Engineering Specialists

Welcome

Canterbury’s Climate Engineering Specialists

At Aqua Flame, we believe that true home comfort is more than just a temperature on a thermostat—it is an invisible, silent luxury that transforms how you live. Based in the heart of Christchurch, we are a specialized team of heating and ventilation engineers dedicated to creating the most efficient, healthy, and sustainable indoor environments in New Zealand.

We don’t just "install heaters"—we design custom mechanical solutions that stand up to the unique, demanding conditions of the Canterbury climate.

Our Mission

Most heating companies offer a "one-size-fits-all" approach. At Aqua Flame, we do things differently. We combine advanced thermal engineering with a deep understanding of local architecture. Whether it is a high-performance architectural new build in Cashmere Hills or a sensitive heritage renovation in Fendalton, our goal is to provide a system that is felt, but never seen or heard.

The Aqua Flame Difference

We focus exclusively on water-based (hydronic) systems because they are the healthiest and most efficient way to heat.

Engineering-First Approach

Before a single pipe is laid, we calculate. We perform detailed heat-loss assessments based on your floor plan, insulation, and glass area. This ensures your system isn't just "installed"—it's optimized for the lowest possible running costs.

Specialists in Hydronic Technology

We focus exclusively on water-based (hydronic) systems because they are the healthiest and most efficient way to heat. Our expertise covers:

  • Hydronic Underfloor Heating (In-slab & Retrofit)

  • Boiler to Heat Pump Conversions

  • Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV)

  • System Maintenance & Performance Tuning

Deep Canterbury Roots

We understand the "Mainland" winter. From the heavy frosts of Rolleston and Rangiora to the damp coastal air of Sumner, our systems are built to thrive where others struggle. We are local, we are accessible, and we understand your climate.

Our Professional Commitment

Our team is comprised of highly trained technicians who prioritize technical precision and a "clean-site" policy. We pride ourselves on transparent communication and the long-term reliability of our installations.

Yes. It works best with tile and polished concrete, but we also design systems for engineered timber, laminate, and carpet.
In-slab systems take a few hours to warm up but hold heat all day. Screed systems respond much faster, usually within 30–60 minutes.
No. Using water is more efficient than air. When paired with an Air-to-Water Heat Pump, it is one of the cheapest ways to heat a home in New Zealand.
Very little. A quick annual check of the manifold and heat pump pressure is all that’s needed to keep it running perfectly.
Yes. Smart Zoning allows you to set different temperatures for your living areas and bedrooms to save energy.
We use continuous PEX-a piping with no joints under the floor. It is designed to last 50+ years and is extremely secure.

Sarah M
Christchurch

"Moving from a house with a dusty heat pump to hydronic heating in Fendalton has been incredible. The air is clear, the silence is amazing, and our kids' asthma has significantly improved."

James & Elena
Rangiora

"We were worried about power bills for a large home, but the air-to-water heat pump system is incredibly efficient. Our running costs are much lower than our previous ducted system."
