Solar and heat pump water heating
Using solar or heat pump water heating can cut the long term cost of water heating for New Zealand homes and businesses as well as reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
EECA's solar and heat pump water heating programme
EECA aims to increase uptake of solar water heating and heat pump water heating by:
- Providing financial assistance to households
- Providing independent information to help consumers decide what kind of solar water heating system they need
- Motivating demand for solar and heat pump water heating
- Improving quality and cost effectiveness by working with industry, including setting standards and encouraging training opportunities
Funding
EECA's efficient water heating programme is designed to get the greatest value for money, by giving the highest grants to those solar water heating systems and heat pump water heaters that save the most energy. It provides grants to eligible systems of $500 or $1000, depending on the energy savings offered by the system.
