A label showing climate zones
The new Zoned Energy Rating Label tells you which heat pumps/air conditioners will perform best in different climate zones of New Zealand and Australia.
The label includes how much electricity the unit will use per year for heating and cooling, and how loud the unit is when running.
When the Regulations come into force, portable air conditioners will need to display the Zoned Energy Rating Label.
What you need to know
