Heating

Good design and installation are fundamental to a heat pump system's effectiveness and efficiency.

This guide provides good practice guidelines for designing and installing the most common type of residential heat pump system - air-to-air single-split heat pump systems (also known as reverse-cycle air conditioners), used primarily for heating.

The guide is aimed at experienced installers of heat pumps, and it gives the process to follow for system design and installation into both new and existing homes.

This brochure outlines the funding available through Warm Up New Zealand: Heat Smart for insulation and efficient heating.

We all want a warm, comfortable home, but many New Zealand houses are difficult and expensive to heat to healthy temperatures.

Around 35% of the energy used in the average New Zealand household goes on heating your home. If your home doesn't have adequate insulation (like the majority of our homes), a lot of your heat is just wasted.

Improving your home's ability to keep in the heat and smart use of a clean, efficient heating system will make your home more cost-effective to run and warmer and healthier to live in.

The Quality and Audit Manual sets out requirements, processes and forms to be used by service providers delivering measures under Warm Up New Zealand: Heat Smart.

Guidelines are also provided for Auditors and Service Providers.

The manual and the guidelines are also available as word documents, to request a copy please email serviceprovider@eeca.govt.nz.
