Heat Pumps in New Zealand, what you need to know as a beginner:
Heat pumps are a great way to keep your home or office comfortable all year round. But with so many different types and brands on the market, it can be difficult to know which one is right for you. Our detailed guide will help you make the right decision for your needs, whether you’re looking for a new heat pump or simply want to upgrade your existing system.
What are the benefits of Heat Pumps?
There are many benefits to using a Heat Pump, including:
- Heat Pumps are an energy and cost efficient way to both heat and cool your home.
- Heat Pumps can help to control condensation in your home.
- Heat Pumps can be used to maintain a comfortable temperature in your home through all seasons.
- Heat pumps are a more environmentally friendly option than traditional heating and cooling systems.
- Heat pumps can improve the indoor air quality of your home.
- Heat pumps are relatively low maintenance and have a long lifespan.
First, you’ll need to decide what type of heat pump you need.
There are several different types of heat pumps, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. The most common types are air-source heat pumps and ground-source heat pumps. Air-source heat pumps are less expensive and easier to install, but they’re not as efficient as ground-source heat.
Here at Element air we have the following systems available:
Floor console, cassette ceiling mounted, high wall, ducted, multi and single room. Before deciding whats right for you think about the type of home you have.
Questions to ask yourself:
Do you have a single room that you want to heat or cool? If so, then a wall-mounted or split-system heat pump might be the best option for you. These heat pumps are designed for smaller spaces and can be installed quickly and easily.
The Mitsubishi Electric mini is perfect for those small above-door frame installs for tiny spaces.
Do you have a larger home or office? If so, then you’ll need a ducted heat pump system. Ducted systems are more expensive to install, but they’re much more efficient and will provide comfortable heating and cooling for large spaces.
What is your budget?
Heat pumps can range in price from a few hundred dollars to several thousand, so it’s important to know how much you’re willing to spend before you start shopping. Element air can help with price parameters and will always provide you with an obligation free quote so you can make a decision on the type of system you’ll install.
What are your heating and cooling needs?
Think about how often you’ll need to use your heat pump and what temperature you’ll want it to be. If you live in a warm climate such as Auckland or the Hawkes Bay, you might only need to use your heat pump for cooling. But if you live in a cold climate like Canterbury, you’ll need to be able to use it for both heating and cooling.
What are your power needs?
Heat pumps come in different sizes and capacities, so you’ll need to know how much power you’ll need to heat and cool your home. The larger the space, the more power you’ll need.
Do you have any other questions?
If you have any other questions about choosing a heat pump, our team of experts at Element Air are here to help. We can provide you with all the information you need to make an informed decision.
Condensation, can a heat pump fix it?
A ventilated home is the key to controlling the amount of condensation that accrues in your home on a daily basis. Heat pumps will help to maintain a dryer, more purified level of air quality, helping you t have a healthier home. A ventilation system will make sure that fresh air is continually brought into your home, pushing the stale air and moisture out.
Heat pumps have a dehumidifying function that can be used to help control condensation. By using the heat pump to maintain a comfortable temperature in your home, you can also help to control the amount of condensation that forms on surfaces.
When should I use my Heat Pump?
As with any heating or cooling system, there are certain times when it’s more efficient to use a heat pump than others.
For example, if you live in a region that experiences very cold winters and hot summers, you’ll probably find that it’s more efficient to use a heat pump in the winter and an air conditioner in the summer.
If you live in a region with more moderate temperatures, you may find that it’s more efficient to use a heat pump all year round.
Heat pumps are most efficient when used to maintain a comfortable temperature in your home. They’re also very effective at removing moisture from the air, so they can be used to control condensation.
If you have any questions about how to use your heat pump efficiently, be sure to ask a qualified installer for help. They’ll be able to advise you on the best way to use your heat pump to meet your needs.
What size Heat Pump do I need?
This is something that you should definitely discuss with a professional installer before making a purchase. The size of the heat pump needed will depend on a number of factors, including the size of your home, the climate you live in, and your personal preferences.
Heat pumps are available in a range of sizes and types. The most common type is the split system, which consists of an outdoor unit and an indoor unit. The outdoor unit contains the compressor and condenser, while the indoor unit contains the evaporator and fan.
Another type of heat pump is the ducted system, which is often used in commercial applications. Ducted systems circulate air through a system of ducts, and can be used to heat or cool multiple rooms.
Finally, there are portable heat pumps, which can be moved from room to room as needed. Portable heat pumps are often used in smaller spaces, such as apartments or offices.
How much does a Heat Pump Cost to run?
Heat pump prices vary depending on the type and size of the unit. Split system heat pumps typically start at around $2000, while ducted systems can cost upwards of $5000. Portable heat pumps are usually the most affordable option, starting at around $500.
When deciding whether or not to install a heat pump, it’s important to consider the long-term costs of operating the unit. Heat pumps are generally very efficient, so they can save you money on your energy bills in the long run.
If you’re interested in installing a heat pump, be sure to get quotes from multiple contractors to compare prices. It’s also a good idea to ask each contractor about any rebates or incentives that may be available to help offset the cost of installation.
Heat pumps are a great way to improve the comfort of your home while saving money on your energy bills.

What is the most efficient way to heat your home?
As the temperature starts to drop, your power bill is inevitably going to get higher. How to circumvent this seasonal calamity you may wonder?
Heat pumps have long been lauded as the most efficient form of electric heating, but how best to get the most out of your one?
Some simple tricks:
- Use your timer to set the unit to come on half an hour before you wake up and half an hour before you get home in the evening, leaving it off in between. It saves ‘cranking’ the heat pump when you come home cold.
- Set the temperature to be the optimum for your household, don’t constantly toggle/raise and lower it, this uses more energy and doesn’t actually warm up your home any faster.
- Cleanliness of your heat pump. Cleaning the filters regularly ensures peak efficiency
- Heat pumps all have a ‘blue star’ rating which dictates their energy efficiency, it is up to the consumer to be aware of their standing.
The Best Way to Clean Your Heatpump:
Cleaning a heat pump removes outside detritus, dirt, dust and most importantly pollen from your filters. All of this improves airflow and therefore efficiency. Regular cleaning saves costly maintenance and servicing, at a recommended 6 weeks on average. Make sure to turn the heat pump off at the wall before beginning this task.
Make sure to then consult your unit manual for how to open and remove the filters.
The fabric attachment on your vacuum tends to work best, and afterwards use a little bit of sunlight in warm water on the filters directly, making sure they are completely dry before you re-assemble.
