| FAQ’s |
How does a Heat Pump work?
Heat pumps don’t generate heat in the way that other traditional forms of home heating do, instead they use an indoor and outdoor unit to draw warmth from the outside air and transfer it into your home. Reversing the action causes the unit to cool the air in your home, offering comfort during a long hot Hawke’s Bay summer.
Heat pumps HEAT in the winter, COOL in the summer, DEHUMIDIFY and FILTER the air.

What is an inverter?
Inverter systems save energy by using a variable controlled (speed) Compressor. The output is controlled to only provide the energy required to keep the room to the set temperature. By reducing the output required less power is used and this substantially reduces power consumption. Inverter control not only saves you money but also keeps you more comfortable.

What is a Heat Pump Energy Star Rating?
All Heat Pumps that are sold in New Zealand are required to have a star rating and must meet a Minimum Energy Performance Standard (MEPS).
The MEPS (Minimum Energy Performance Standard) for New Zealand is a COP (Coefficient of Performance) (Heating) and EER (Energy Efficiency Rating) (Cooling) of 2.3. All appliances that reach this level are awarded 2 stars. For every .3 increase in either the COP or EER the appliance receives another star.
All Heat Pumps have two star ratings, one for heating and one for cooling. The more stars the more energy efficient.

How much will it cost?
Because each home is unique, the installed cost of a heat pump is different for each home and will depend on the size and type of heat pump and the position of the outdoor compressor unit.
