About Eastside Refrigeration
It's been a long time coming.... but from Monday March 10th 2008 Eastside Refrigeration Limited will begin operating out of their brand new, purpose-built building located at 139 Maui Street Te Rapa (between Donovans Chocalates and Kea Trailers), after 34 years of being in Hamilton East. And in case you were wondering... yes the name will stay the same... lets say it’s “Eastside on the North-West”... whatever, they are still the "team from Eastside".
With room to grow!
With approximately 1250 sqm (or approximately 14,000 sq ft) of new space (including around 500 sqm of office/showroom area and 750 sqm of warehousing and storage), the new premises will enable the company to meet the expected future growth in the coming years. To make it easy for clients, suppliers and staff, 35 carparks are available right at the front door.
The large upmarket office area provides staff with the most up to date and comfortable working conditions available. There is also a training/meeting room for on-site staff training as well as for group presentations with staff and clients. The office areas are Air Conditioned by a state-of-the-art VRF (variable refrigerant flow) ducted heat pump/air conditioning system which gives excellent temperature control to eight different zones controlled off a single outdoor unit. This system is ideally suited to multiple offices or large home applications where very high quality and energy efficiencies are desired from multiple indoor units off only one outdoor unit.
Working Showroom
The large working showroom displays most of the leading brands of heat pumps. The first thing you will notice is that this showroom is dedicated solely to displaying heat pumps for your home or office. The well designed showroom enables you to get a close up look at the controls, hear the systems operating and generally get a better idea of what these systems are all about.
When you visit the new showroom the sales people won't try to sell you a TV or a toaster... they specialise in HEAT PUMPS, which means you’ll get a genuine specialist with knowledge and training in what best heat pump system is available for your application - as well as a full backup service and hassle-free warranty.

From humble beginnings
Eastside Refrigeration Limited was founded in 1974 and over the past 34 years has become a household name for refrigeration and Heat pump / Air conditioning in the Waikato.
The company started operations out of a small workshop down Lovegrove Lane in Grey Street, Hamilton East. At that point there was no showroom or offices and a single service vehicle. Eastside has steadily grown to now proudly employ 32 staff, many of whom have been fully trained by the company.
Hands-on Management
Company Directors Richard Johnston and Don Hollingsworth are very much "hands-on" within the company, running the home heat pump and commercial sales & installation divisions respectively. They have both been in "the trade" for more than 25 years.
Richard is a qualified Refrigeration Engineer, while Don is a qualified Building Services Engineer. This practical background and hands-on work ethic ensures that the company culture of "do it once and do it right" is well received and understood by the whole Eastside team. This in turn also ensures that a quality installation is completed each and every time. Richard and Don believe that working at the "frontline" allows management decisions to be made on the spot which expedites communication for both staff and customers.
Sales and Installation
A team of 4 full time home heat pump sales staff are happy to visit your home for a free quotation. All installation work is carried out by Eastside’s own experienced installation teams. All electrical work is carried out by registered Master Electricians.
Service and Maintenance
Eastside Refrigeration have a large Service Department along with a dedicated Air Conditioning maintenance team that will provide 24 hour emergency backup service.
The installation process is well organised and when they say "we make it easy " they really mean it. The aim of the sales, installation, service and maintenance teams is to work together to make it as easy as possible for clients.
The Eastside Team
The team at Eastside pride themselves on their specialist knowledge in home and commercial heat pump sales, installation and service. If you are unsure what a heat pump is all about, they invite you to visit them in their new showroom, bring in your plans and have a talk to one of the experienced team. Eastside have also put together a complimentary "home heat pump” booklet which explains exactly what you need to consider when deciding on a heat pump system. If you have a commercial building in mind see Don about a design / build proposal to meet your requirements.
