Pouring rain and grey skies leave little doubt that summer is definitely over, and with winter approaching it’s the ideal time to get your heating issues sorted before the bitterness of winter fully kicks in and the sharp, biting wind has you kicking yourself for not resolving the issue earlier.

Heat pumps are increasingly the favoured heating option of choice for Kiwis the country over and a BRANZ study has found that around a quarter of New Zealand houses now have heat pumps and up to 70 per cent of new homes are built with heat pumps already installed.
Heat pumps are efficient
The reason? Well for one… their heat output is about three to four times that of the energy they use. For example, a 2kW fan heater will put out 2kW of heat and cost about 50c an hour, but a 2kW heat pump will put out up to three times that, for the same price. Efficient!
If that’s not reason enough, then how about safety?
Heat pumps are safe and convenient
Heat pumps are quite simply a safer and more convenient heating option. Forget lugging loads of wood into the house, cutting kindling, building and maintaining a fire and cleaning the fireplace… with a heat pump you get instant heat at the push of a button. When you get home from a long, hard day’s work, the instant comfort level a heat pump gives, really is hard to beat. Convenient!
Convinced? The next step is choosing the right heat pump for your home.
‘High Convenience’
High Wall Mounted Heat Pumps are the most common systems installed throughout the country and come in seven different Kw capacities with the likes of a 2.5Kw suited to bedrooms and the larger 8 Kw unit, suitable for an average sized single level house.
Instant heat at the touch of a button
And what’s more convenient than a remote – hand held and infrared it gives you access to instant heat at the touch of a button. Wall mounted units (dependent on Kw range) come with 24 hour timer and 7 day timer functions built into their remotes.
Obviously, they take up no floor space so if you have a full and overflowing home, this would likely be the best option for you.
Do you have a medium sized living room and think wall mounted is the right option for you? Then check out this great limited offer and get winter warmth flowing through your home today.
Compact Floor Console heat pump units come in 3 different Kw capacities 2.5, 3.5 and 5.0 Kw and include remote control operation.
These floor mounted units are the ideal substitute or replacement for a gas or wood fireplace.
Get rid of the axe, matches and wood and replace it with a touch of the button remote. They can be recess mounted into the wall cavity giving a shallow profile, perfect for narrow spaces like hallways.
‘From Above’
Ceiling Cassette Heat Pumps are ceiling mounted units and take up no floor space – for this reason they have become an increasingly popular choice for New Zealand homes. These units have four way air direction and have adjustable air flow patterns which allows you to pick the perfect flow for your family and style of living.
‘Stylishly Stealth’
Ceiling Concealed (ducted) Heat Pump units are mounted in the ceiling space and are typically unseen in the space being used. The only visible presence are the air grilles which are barely noticeable and the unobtrusive lines of this unit blends perfectly into the ceiling while providing low-profile heating or cooling.
‘Multi Magic’
Multi-Split System heat pump models are designed to allow several indoor units to be connected to a single outdoor unit. The system is compatible with any or varying Kw capacity indoor units. This means you can select the model and Kw best suited to each and every room in your home.
When you install the Multi-split system you not only reduce the number of outdoor units required, but you also have the option of adding more indoor units at any time. This enables you to customise your heating plan to suit your home and lifestyle and alter it as your family or living conditions change over time.
Whatever your match, the professional and skilled staff at Heat and Cool will work with you to arrive at the best heating option for your home. Their aim is to improve your lifestyle and your family’s home environment.
