Heat Pump benefits go beyond just cost savings
As winter approaches, the need for a reliable, cost-effective and efficient heating solution is top of mind for many. Here at Greenside Energy Solutions, we're all about affordable solutions for Kiwi Families, so discover why we recommend using heat pumps.
Energy Efficient:
Stuff reported heat pumps as the most energy-efficient form of heating in New Zealand, providing 3.5 to 4.5 kilowatts of energy out for every kilowatt of energy that goes in.
Low Running Costs:
According to Consumer NZ, heat pumps have the cheapest kW/h heating cost available. Electric heaters might seem economical due to their low purchase cost, but they are only good for heating small rooms for a short time. Electric bills stack up quickly if left running too long.
Convenient Comfort:
Heat pumps provide heating and cooling at the touch of a button. There is no need for chopping wood or moving around to heat spaces better. A heat pump will allow you to maintain a comfortable temperature inside your home regardless of the season.
Improved Air Quality:
Heat pumps are perfect for those suffering from asthma and allergies; they regulate temperature, filter and dehumidify the air, helping to create a healthier home environment.
Quiet:
Modern heat pumps operate quietly, ensuring that your home remains peaceful and undisturbed while enjoying the benefits of efficient heating and cooling.
For those considering the transition to a heat pump, the Warmer Kiwi Homes Grant is a valuable resource. Check your eligibility, as you could be eligible for heating grants and subsidies that cover 80-100% of the costs. The Warmer Kiwi Homes grant aims to make heating and insulation upgrades more accessible to families who need them.
From year-round functionality to cost savings, improved air quality and heating subsidies from the Warmer Kiwi Homes programme, heat pumps stand out as the most reliable and energy-efficient solution for heating homes here in New Zealand.
There are many brands in the market, and even more, models to choose from, and our team of expert heat pump installers can recommend, supply and install the unit(s) that will provide you with the most value for money.
