M-00 Mechanical contractors · Auckland
WePro is an Auckland mechanical contractor for central (commercial) and residential HVAC. Our speciality is existing buildings: tired systems, changed uses, tight ceilings, and buildings that have to stay open while we work.
Services
Start with the type of building. Both include renovation, replacement and ongoing maintenance.
Offices, retail, education, community and light industrial buildings.
Homes, townhouses, renovations and extensions.
Keep systems running, efficient and documented, from one heat pump to a building's central plant.
Our speciality
Most of our work is in buildings that already exist. When the original system can't simply be swapped like for like, we look at the building as it is now and find a solution that works, complies and can be maintained.
| Ref | When… | What we do |
|---|---|---|
| R-01 | The system is old or failing. Phased-out refrigerants, rising repair bills, poor comfort. | Survey and test what's there, then compare repair, partial replacement and full replacement with prices, so you decide with the facts. We reuse existing pipe routes, penetrations and power where testing shows they're sound. |
| R-02 | The building's use has changed. Retail to car park, office to clinic, warehouse to showroom. | Rework the ventilation and air conditioning for the new use and the Building Code (G4, NZS 4303, AS 1668.2), and support the consent with producer statements. |
| R-03 | There's no room for the usual answer. Shallow ceilings, no plant space, tenancy or heritage limits. | Alternative layouts and equipment: jet fans instead of long ductwork, slim ducted or cassette units, relocated outdoor units, and penetrations planned with the builder. |
| R-04 | The building has to stay open. Offices, schools, places of worship, family homes. | Staged replacement and after-hours work, with a programme agreed up front so the building keeps running. |
| R-05 | Power or budget is limited. Small switchboards, tight budgets, landlord and tenant splits. | Right-sized inverter equipment, staged upgrades, and options priced separately so the work can be phased. |
| R-06 | It's noisy, draughty or uneven. Complaints from occupants or neighbours. | Measure airflows and temperatures, find the cause and fix it: rebalancing, controls changes, relocated units or acoustic treatment. |
Project Alternative solution · 2024
Al Manar Trust converted part of an existing retail building into indoor parking. The consented design used an alternative solution: jet fans that push air towards a roof exhaust fan, controlled by carbon monoxide sensors, instead of a fully ducted extract system.
How we work
We look at the building, the existing system and how the space is used, and measure what matters.
A written proposal with options, so you can compare repair, replace or redesign.
Tidy, safe work, coordinated with your builder, electrician and other trades.
Tested, balanced and documented, with producer statements and as-builts when consent needs them.
Planned servicing keeps it efficient, and you have one number to call if something fails.
Who we work with
Heat pumps, ducted systems and ventilation, with honest repair-or-replace advice.
Upgrades, maintenance agreements and condition reports for your assets.
Mechanical subcontract pricing from drawings, installation and sign-off documents.
Buildability input, alternative solutions and careful site delivery of your design.
Engineer-led
WePro is small on purpose. The person who surveys your building is the person who prices it, plans it and signs it off.
