Review
Performance & efficiency:
One of the longest-established hot water heat pumps in New Zealand with over 15 years on the market.
Features:
- Endorsed by Gen Less (EECA’s consumer programme)
- The R290 refrigerant keeps the environmental credentials strong.
- The Smart Life app: gives phone-based control. The pricing sits at the higher end of the market, but the established track record and wide availability provide peace of mind. North-facing outdoor installation is recommended for best performance.
Supply and service network:
Widely stocked through major plumbing merchants — you won’t struggle to find parts or an installer who knows this unit.
