Heat pump water heating pilot funding scheme
Heat pump water heating scheme closed
EECA ran a pilot scheme to gather information about how well heat pump water heaters perform in real operating conditions in New Zealand - this scheme is now closed.
Information from scheme
The scheme ran between 30 March and 1 December 2009 and resulted in almost 500 installations.
About 250 of the systems had a water and electricity meter installed and homeowners provide monthly meter readings to EECA.
Once all the readings have been received EECA will undertake a comprehensive analysis of the data and produce reports for government, product suppliers and the public.
A public report will be available in late 2010.
New efficient water heating programme to include heat pump water heating
A new efficient water heating programme launched on 1 September 2010 which will include grants for heat pump water heaters from late 2010.
Further details will be available soon.
