Next week we are doing a major house installation in Blenheim and today we are doing one in Nelson, so we do cover the whole South Island.” Living House has formed a relationship with HPA Group, supplying and installing insulation into Amberley Country Estate’s villas as they are progressively built. “HPA has also selected us to supply and install insulation for its Aurum on Clutha, development in Clyde.” As well as insulation, Living House also supplies an excellent range of central vacuum cleaners, heat pumps, and ventilation systems.
