A heat pump subsidy is a financial assistance program offered by the government to help homeowners install or upgrade to a heat pump. A heat pump is an energy-efficient heating and cooling system that can reduce your energy bills and improve your home's comfort levels. The subsidy helps offset the upfront costs of purchasing and installing a heat pump.
The heat pump subsidy ensures that everyone can afford this opportunity.
Through the Warmer Kiwi Homes programme and third-party donors, you may be eligible to receive 100% of the cost of a heat pump covered. If you're looking to improve the energy efficiency of your home and save money on heating and cooling costs, GreenSide can help recommend and install the best heat pump option to keep your home warm and dry and advise you on what heat pump subsidies are available to you.
Know if I’m eligible for The Warmer Kiwi Homes Program ↓
We are one of the larger Warmer Kiwi Homes installers.
The size of heat pump you need is dependent on the size of the room you are wanting to heat or cool, taking into account the area of windows and your local climate. Our home energy assessors can guide you on what size is best for your home and help with correct placement in a room to avoid draughts blowing directly onto you and for optimum performance.
It is important that your heat pump is installed professionally by a trusted service provider as there are refrigerant gas and electrical considerations.
All our installations are carried out by qualified installers and registered electricians who are knowledgeable, experienced, and extremely good at what they do.
Also, all our work is installed to the Energy Efficiency Conservation Authority (EECA) standard, which meets current New Zealand standards, as required for new builds and Healthy Rental applications.
