We found Optum Plumbing to be a very professional and easy company to work with, starting from initial consultation and design, right through to installation. The whole job, including ground works for storm water and sewerage, general plumbing and an integrated solar/wet back/radiator central heating system, was completed on time and to quote. Their advice was invaluable, particularly for the central heating system. Their employees worked to high a standard, taking obvious pride in their craftsmanship. Ultimately we have what we want, a simple to heat and warm house, thanks to Optum Plumbing.

Our architect had recommended electrical underfloor heating and whilst the initial capital cost was much less, Kevin convinced us to pay a higher initial cost and pay substantially less as running costs through the year. It took a little while to settle down, but to be fair that was due to incompetence from our electrician and when we got an electrician as competent as our plumber all was fixed and we are good now.

We made the right choice using Optum for our plumbing. Our rural block and non-standard heating system were well designed and the team went above and beyond to fine-tune and have it working as we wanted. We learned that plumbing is not an area to cut costs and it really makes a difference having a team who are skilled and familiar with complex systems and new technologies. We would certainly use Optum again.

Kevin and the Optum team designed and built our first Solar Hot water system in Wanaka in 2010 and eleven years later it is still working faultlessly. Like all satisfied customers 10 years later we came back to the guru’s at Optum who provided us with invaluable advice for optimising a ‘no carbon’ solar hot water solution, to meet the underfloor and hot water requirements for our new SIPS panel passive house which we have built in Invercargill.
These guys are innovators and absolute experts in all aspects of service provision, are professional and are a pleasure to deal with. We have no hesitation in recommending them to other prospective customers and we look forward to working with them again on our next build.

Kevin Henderson (Optum Ltd) did all the plumbing work for our house in Bannockburn, built in 2007. Kevin and his staff brought a high level of expertise to what was a complicated job, which included solar and gas installation, under floor heating, storm water reticulation, and plumbing of kitchen, laundry and bathrooms.
They were a pleasure to have on the job and Kevin ensured that all work was done in a timely manner. The back up and maintenance provided by Optum since the house build has been excellent. Kevin stands by his work. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kevin and his firm. He offers clients integrity, expertise and a professional approach.

You guys are "crazy good."Let's start with your receptionist. The phone was answered quickly and cheerfully. That is so pleasant these days.We rang about a small but important job on Monday 4 March. It was fixed by the end of the day, by Julien Lopez.He was very proficient, and took the initiative to check other fittings that may have caused future problems. Julien's personal demeanor towards us was excellent.We also had Sam fix our solar panel in early February. Same thing. Sam's work was very thorough. He saw things that the initial installer had not fitted. He has a relaxed personality and took away our anxiety.You are "crazy good" because Wanaka has experienced a building "boom" during the ten years that we have lived here.This has made it difficult to find people to do repairs, yet you seem to manage that. You told us when it would happen and stuck to that arrangement. The pricing was reasonable too. We have been left with such a good feeling of confidence in your company.Thank you so much for how you operate, and the standards that underpin you and your company.Gavin Craig & Una Connolly
I’d just like to say thanks for the prompt service and the two tradesman/persons did a great job and were a pleasure to work with! As I’m not a builder from the area I have given my clients your details for any work they may need done in the future.

When looking for options to upgrade our heating system I approached 3 different companies to put forward options and pricing, and from the moment I met Keven Henderson he stood out as somebody who knew heating systems and what would be the best option for us.
An itemised quote was received in a timely manner and Optum Plumbing and Energy Solutions were accepted as the contractor for the supply and installation of a new heat-pump hot water heating system to work with our existing underfloor heating system control panels and in-floor pipework.
The work was carried out and completed on schedule and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome, the final result in energy cost savings switching form a gas boiler to the new Heat-Pump system has more than halved our winter combined Electricity and Gas usage costs.

Just wanted to convey our thanks to you and your team for your contribution to our project. It has been, overall, as straight forward as it could possibly have been-although the complexities of an off grid system have at times seemed daunting! Kurt and all the others have always been obliging and helpful-including with the ongoing fine tuning of the system.
