Our history

Husband and Wife team Carl Sirs and Julie Strong have a passion for warm water Central Heating.


Carl and Julie believe that warm water Central Heating is the superior way to heat your home.


​15 years ago it took Carl a good year to convince Julie to install these in their home (after he had been installing them while he worked for another company) she finally gave in and hasn't looked back.


Julie fell in love with Radiator heating so much that when they moved house in the middle of winter Julie refused to move in until Carl installed a system into their new home, so if you are having doubts Julie understands where you are coming from.


​They have seen many changes in the industry during their 14 years of operation.  They started working out of their home and 8 years ago moved to an office in Petone. Currently Pipeline has a beautiful office and showroom here in Avalon, Lower Hutt.


Over the years the one thing that hasn't changed and grows more and more each day is the passion that they have.


Carl and Julie live and breathe Radiator Heating and its a massive part of who they are.  They know that heating your home has nothing but positive outcomes for their clients.


Carl and Julie are active in the promotion of their small branch of the heating industry.  They have introduced many new staff members and clients to the benefits of an evenly warm home, some of which now share that passion and are now also active members of the industry.  Pipeline have installed over 1500 heating systems into clients homes in these 15 years.


Our staff consists of trained craftsmen who all have a passion for heating and they get great pleasure once their installation is complete.  Our team take on work that others in our industry are too inexperienced to touch.


We take pride in our workmanship and in providing our clients with the best service possible.  Most of our referrals are word of mouth from satisfied clients so we know we are doing something right!


We value our customers and deliver good old fashioned service with up to date technology and materials and we service the Wellington, Kapiti and Wairarapa regions.


We believe in hard work and great communication to deliver the best customer experience on offer.


​In the years to come we are committed to growing and providing excellent customer service to all of our clients for both installations and servicing and we are excited that everyone is our team is on board and shares our vision and passion.


We are certainly lucky to be able to work in this industry that we love!
