This is a list of heat pumps that meet the requirements of the New Zealand ENERGY STAR programme.

The ENERGY STAR mark is only awarded to the most efficient heat pumps on the market (for both heating and cooling modes). Choosing an ENERGY STAR heat pump could save you $150 a year on running costs, compared to a non-qualified model.

This document outlines the new ENERGY STAR heat pump specification version 2.0.

From 1 April 2010 products must meet all the listed criteria to be registered with the New Zealand ENERGY STAR programme and carry the ENERGY STAR mark.
