We have been the local central heating specialists in the Top of the South Island for decades. We pride ourselves in immaculate work and using the latest technology to provide the best and most efficient heating solutions for our clients.

CHAPMANZ have been installing high efficiency hydronic heating systems in New Zealand since 2005.  We have built an excellent reputation and working relationships with suppliers who import top range products from Europe, such as Vaillant and Jaga.

CHAPMANZ’s mission is to supply and install high quality, innovative, reliable and efficient industry-leading heating systems. We have years of experience installing modern day products in new and retro fit in older properties as well as incorporating new and innovative heating solutions in new homes and builds. The days of putting on another jumper have gone with the Moa!

Originally from the UK where the word ‘plumbing’ is interchangeable with ‘heating’ Fraser and the CHAPMANZ team can take care of all your gas and plumbing needs.

At CHAPMANZ we are continually looking to the future for the new, innovative, and environmentally improved products.  This includes geothermal heat pumps (in ground heat source), fuel cell and chilled underfloor cooling.

We understand that you may have questions about our services and the systems we provide.  We would love to chat further, so feel free to give us a call to arrange a free estimate or carry out a heating survey. 

Chris Chapman

Chris Chapman and family moved to Nelson in 2004 leaving the UK for a sunnier, healthier, outdoor lifestyle.  Having run a successful plumbing and heating business as an Accredited CORGI gas installer and an Approved Registered Plumber installing central heating in the UK, Chris found it hard to believe that hydronic central heating, double glazing, and adequate insulation was not standard requirements in newer New Zealand homes at the time.  He did not realise that the 3-5 months of winter get very cold, especially with very poor heating, single glazing and insufficient insulation in the older houses.

Although it was not Chris’s intention to get involved in the central heating business again, he found old habits die hard and his enthusiasm returned.  

Chris is a certifying gas fitter - Reg No. 21080. And a registered ETA wood pellet boiler installer.

Fraser Dayman

Fraser joined his family when they moved out to Nelson in 2004. Here he completed his apprenticeships and received his Plumbing and Gas Fitting certifications in New Zealand. 

In 2013 he ventured back to the UK, where he pursued his dream of launching his own business.  He ran his successful Plumbing and Central Heating business for 3 years.  But after meeting his lovely wife, they decided to return to New Zealand and the family business, and expand their family with some children of their own.

He brings 15+ years of both New Zealand and UK experience to all his projects, along with an immaculate attention to detail and design. He was awarded Apprentice of the Year, and is a Vaillant approved boiler installer.

Fraser is a certifying plumber and gas fitter - Reg No. 25164
