❄️ Make Your Heat Pump Work Smarter This Winter ❄️
As winter sets in across New Zealand, your heat pump is one of the most efficient ways to keep your home warm — but how you use it can make a big difference to comfort and power costs.
Here are some simple, proven tips to help you get the best performance this winter:
🔥 Set a steady temperature
Aim for around 18–21°C and avoid constantly turning the unit on and off. Heat pumps are most efficient when maintaining a consistent temperature.
🌡️ Use Heat Mode
Make sure your unit is set to Heat mode (sun symbol), not Auto, for reliable winter performance.
💨 Keep airflow clear
Don’t block the indoor unit with furniture, curtains, or objects — this allows warm air to circulate properly throughout the home.
🧼 Clean the filters
Dusty filters reduce efficiency and airflow. A quick clean every few weeks helps your heat pump run more effectively.
☀️ Use natural warmth
Open curtains and blinds during the day to let sunlight naturally warm your home, then close them at night to retain heat.
A well-used heat pump not only keeps your home more comfortable but can also help manage winter power usage more efficiently.
