Cool Down & Cash In with Butler & Hewitt

When the heat lingers and the house won’t cool down, proper air conditioning makes all the difference.

Right now, when you purchase a selected Panasonic heat pump from Butler & Hewitt between 16 February and 17 April 2026, you’ll receive up to $500 credit to spend on selected Panasonic appliances.*

We’ll help you choose the right system for your home, supply it locally, and install it properly. Then, once your heat pump is up and running, you can redeem your bonus credit through Panasonic Rewards and put it towards selected Panasonic appliances.

The exact credit amount depends on the model you choose, but whether it’s a new microwave, headphones, or something for the laundry, it’s a practical bonus on top of year-round comfort.

This is about more than just a promotion. It’s about getting the right system, installed by a team who knows Hawke’s Bay homes, and dealing with a local business that stands behind its work.

Cool your home now. Enjoy the bonus afterwards.

Offer valid for purchases from 16 February 2026 to 17 April 2026. (EXTENDED BY 2 WEEKS!)
Credit is redeemed via Panasonic Rewards.
