Why Get A Heat Pump?

Can be a lot cheaper to run than other forms of heating.
Less effort compared to cutting wood or starting a gas fire.
Dryer, no water vapour issues like gas fires.
More sustainable because you can use less power than other devices.
Almost instant heat so no long waiting to warm a room.
Room temperature can be more easily contolled.

EECA Funding

You can get ENERGYWISE™ funding to help insulate your house, and install clean and efficient heating under the government's Warm up New Zealand: Heat Smart programme.

Who's Eligible?

  Homeowners with houses built before 2000 are eligible.

What Can I Use The Funding For?

  The grants are aimed at firstly insulating homes in the roof and underfloor to NZ Standards level and then providing a clean, efficient heating device in the primary living space, if the primary living space does not already have a heating device that meets current standards. You are only eligible for funding for the installation of a heat pump if your insulation first meets standards.

What Funding Will Be Available?

  The government provides funding to the levels outlined below:

None Community Card Homes: Insulation - 33% of the total cost up to max. of $1300 (incl GST) and $500 (incl GST) for clean heating (heat pump). 

Community Services Cards Homes: Insulation 60% of the total cost (no Max) plus $1200 (incl GST)   for clean heating.

Landlords with tenants who hold Community Services Cards  60% of the total insulation cost and $500 (incl GST)  for clean heating.

*In some regions, the total funding given to Community Services Card holders may be higher, where third party funding from charities, lines companies or councils is provided. Talk to Airtech Limited.

What Is Star Rating?

Star rating or Energy star rating is the rating given to an electrical device to show it's energy efficiency.
The more stars, the more efficient it is.

To effectively compare one appliance with another they must be of the same type - that is, similar in capacity and features.
Heat pumps have more than one ‘band' of stars. For example, they have blue for cooling and red for heating performance.

Heat Pump Running Costs

The number in the red box is the energy consumption figure. This tells you how much electricity the appliance typically uses to run in a year, in kiloWatt hours (kWh).

The lower the number, the less the model will cost to run and the lower the environmental impact. Use this figure to compare between all models and types of appliance. For example, if you want to compare the running cost of a Heat pump, look at the energy consumption figure.

Multiply the number in the box by your electricity tariff (including GST). You'll find this tariff, or unit cost, on your electricity bill. The national average is currently 23 cents per kWh. For example: 640 x 0.23 = $147.

And to calculate the estimated lifetime running cost of the appliance:
Multiply the annual running cost by 10. Most whiteware has an estimated lifetime of about 10 or so years. For example: $147 x 10 = $1470.
