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.

Optum carried out the plumbing, gas and drainage services for our latest project in Wanaka. The work was of the highest standard with great communication throughout the project. Their work is the tidiest we have ever seen. We would have no hesitation to recommend Optum to all future clients.

Optum Plumbing Wanaka are certainly one of the most professional and skilled subcontractors we have ever worked with, not only as individuals but a company who prides itself on working as a team.

Optum Plumbing & Energy Solutions designed and installed an efficient and modern underfloor heating, solar water heating, a Woodpecker pellet boiler and associated controls to our new house build near Cromwell. The design and consultation process was detailed and easily understood and Kevin from Optum expertly outlined the benefits and downfalls of various systems. The entire system is very easy to operate and provides considerable savings on our home and hot water heating. Any initial issues were quickly and expertly resolved and back-up support is always promptly dealt with if required. We are thoroughly impressed with the system and enjoy a warm and comfortable house without excessive energy bills. We could not imagine a better plumbing company to work with.

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.

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
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.

We have an Optum designed heating system installed in our new home which was completed in November 2021. We wished to include a Solar PV heating system in our new house and Optum Plumbing was recommended to us as a local specialist.
We consulted Optum early in our design phase. At all stages of the project, Optum owner, Kevin Henderson was generous with the time he spent with us to ensure we had a good understanding of our system. Following installation, we have also enjoyed excellent back up service from Optum. Kevin and his team are knowledgeable and approachable and we are happy to recommend their services.
