A comfortable home or workplace starts with a system that is designed for the space it serves. Southern Comfort Air Conditioning Limited designs, installs and services commercial and domestic air conditioning across Christchurch — one local, 100% New Zealand owned team from first sketch to ongoing aftercare. Incorporated in 2012 and managed by Stan Evans, we trade from 112 Rocking Horse Road, Southshore.
System design matched to your space
No two rooms behave the same. We look at room sizes, ceiling heights, insulation, window placement and sun exposure, plus how you actually use each space through the day. That assessment shapes the design: which rooms get units, what capacity each unit needs, and where indoor and outdoor components sit for quiet, efficient, even comfort.
Good design also considers Canterbury's seasons — crisp winter mornings when heating matters most, and hot, dry nor'west afternoons when cooling takes over. A system designed for both costs less to run and lasts longer than one sized by guesswork.
Professional installation, NZ trade standards
Our installers mount indoor units neatly, position outdoor units for airflow and easy servicing, run pipework and drainage tidily, and wire and commission everything to standard. We protect your floors and furnishings while we work, test the full system with you before we leave, and show you how to operate timers, filters and modes so you get the best from day one. Both homes and workplaces are covered — from a single bedroom heat pump to larger commercial layouts.
Servicing and preventative maintenance
Like any hardworking machine, a heat pump performs best with regular care. Servicing keeps filters clean, coils efficient, drainage clear and electrical connections sound — which means lower running costs, healthier air and fewer mid-winter breakdowns. Our servicing covers both the indoor and outdoor units, and preventative maintenance agreements can be arranged so small issues are caught before they become expensive ones.
If your existing system is underperforming — weak airflow, odd smells, dripping water or rising power bills — a service visit is the right first step. Email us the symptoms and we will advise what to do next.
Commercial and domestic, one local team
Whether it is a family lounge in Southshore, a rental bedroom, an office or a larger commercial space, the same care applies: honest advice, tidy work and systems chosen for the job rather than the upsell. Being locally owned means we are easy to reach after the install, and we stand behind what we fit.
