The Warm Up New Zealand: Heat Smart Quality and Audit manual documents below are version 3.3 of the manual and supporting guidelines.

Version 3.3 of the Quality and Audit manual is effective for all assessments and installations from 4 February 2013. It updates all previous versions.

The documents, intended for use by Service Providers and Auditors of Warm Up New Zealand: Heat Smart, have been developed through a series of internal reviews and build upon previous feedback and changes made to the audit process in 2010 and 2011.

This is a list of heat pumps that meet the requirements of the New Zealand ENERGY STAR programme as at 1 April 2013.

The ENERGY STAR mark is only awarded to the most efficient heat pumps on the market (for both heating and cooling modes).

This document outlines the new ENERGY STAR heat pump specification version 3.0.

From 1 April 2013, heat pumps must meet all the listed criteria to be registered with the New Zealand ENERGY STAR programme and carry the ENERGY STAR mark, including provision of performance data at 2°C.

If you have products that qualify, or any questions about the specification, please email the ENERGY STAR team.
