BUILDING A SOLID REPUTATION

35 Years of Achievement

Since our establishment in 1986, we have built a solid reputation for delivering exceptional service, innovative solutions, and reliable performance in both residential and commercial HVAC sectors.

1987

The Company Was Established

Andrew seized the opportunity to become an HVAC and refrigeration contractor. He operated out of his home office and storage units, spending his days working on the tools and his nights handling office work.

1988

Growth & Relocation

Within six months of incorporating, Andrew outgrew his storage units and relocated to a new site on Colombo Street in the city. This central location significantly boosted the company's growth.

1989 - 1999

Building a Team, buying a building

In just two years, Andrew had built a team of six HVAC technicians and hired an office administrator. He purchased a building on Carlyle Street in Sydenham to accommodate the growing business. However, as space quickly became an issue again, he decided to purchase the adjacent building to meet the expanding

2000 - 2005

Diversification

After completing hundreds of residential and commercial HVAC installations over many years, Andrew noticed a gap in the market. He decided to launch Beattie Electrical, which rapidly expanded to a team of 80. To reflect its broad range of services, including underfloor heating, solar energy, and hot water heat pumps, Beattie Electrical soon rebranded as Beattie Energy.

2006 - 2017

Commercial Growth

Beattie Air and Beattie Electrical gained market share across Canterbury, known for reliable service. As the installation and maintenance divisions grew, they became large enough to operate independently. Thus, Beattie Air Conditioning Service Ltd was established as a subsidiary, focused on servicing and maintaining commercial and residential HVAC systems.

2018 - Now

Under One Roof

Andrew designed a new facility, warehouse, and showroom at Hickory Place, Islington, to house both Beattie Group companies under one roof. This purpose-built location allows all staff and subcontractors to work efficiently and synergistically from a prime central location in Christchurch.
