Quick tip: Cranking up the heat doesn’t always mean faster warmth! Make sure you choose the temp you need. 🌡️

Setting a temperature that is too high might increase your running costs as it works harder for longer. With Wi-Fi Control Heat Pump Energy Monitoring, you can track energy use as you fine-tune your comfort.

Sustainability isn't just about what's installed today. It's also about how products are managed at the end of their life. 🌿

Recent industry reporting has highlighted significant progress in the recovery and destruction of synthetic refrigerants in New Zealand, including a new refrigerant destruction facility in Kawerau and more than 15,000kg of refrigerant recovered in the latest quarter.

As a member of the Sustainable Business Network, we're committed to supporting initiatives that help reduce environmental impact across the entire lifecycle of heating and cooling systems. Responsible refrigerant recovery plays an important role in creating a more sustainable future for our industry and our communities.

We're encouraged to see the positive progress being made across New Zealand and look forward to continued improvements in environmental stewardship throughout the HVAC sector.



Cheers
