Want to get the most out of your Heat Pump while also ensuring energy efficiency?

EnergySmart - Palmerston North

Make sure you are using your timer settings to their full potential! A lot of Heat Pumps allow you to set daily and weekly timers to turn on and off your Heat Pump.
Some great timer settings are:

1. 30 minutes before you wake up in the morning so you can eat brekky in a nice warm living room.

2. 30 minutes before the kids arrive home from school or you arrive home from work

3. Set your timers to come on in the mornings as a base temperature of around 20c in the weekends to ensure your home is comfortable while you are at home throughout the day.

4.If you're on a power plan which offers free hours of power, make sure you set it to turn on and off during your free hours!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
