🔄 A revolution in hot water! 🔥💧

Heat pump hot water cylinders are changing the way we heat water, offering a more energy-efficient alternative to traditional electric cylinders.

But with more heat pump hot water cylinders entering the market, choosing the right one matters. There’s a big difference between proven, quality technology and products that are relatively new and have limited history in the New Zealand market.

Efficiency, reliability, warranty, support and proven performance should all be considered—not just the purchase price.

This recent installation is a great example of investing in a quality heat pump hot water system designed for long-term performance and efficiency.

💧 Another heat pump hot water upgrade complete!

We recently installed a Rheem New Zealand AmbiPower 280e heat pump hot water cylinder, giving our customer a more energy-efficient way to heat their water while helping reduce their power bills. ⚡

Heat pump hot water systems work by extracting heat from the surrounding air, making them significantly more efficient than traditional electric hot water cylinders. That means reliable hot water, lower running costs, and a smaller environmental footprint.

If your hot water cylinder is getting older or your power bills are climbing, it could be the perfect time to consider upgrading.

Get in touch if you'd like to find out whether a heat pump hot water cylinder is the right fit for your home. We'd be happy to help! 💧

Back on the tools and ready to go! 💧🔧

As some of you know, each year I take some time out to attend a 10-day meditation course. It's a great chance to step away from the day-to-day distractions.

One of the biggest takeaways was the importance of focusing on what really matters, decluttering both the mind and daily life, and prioritising on what really deserves attention.

It's easy to get caught up in the constant demands of life.

It also helps me be calmer, more focused, and present. Qualities which help in all areas of my life.

I am refreshed, recharged, and looking forward to getting stuck in to those fireplaces, water softeners and hot water systems that need installing!

Thank you to everyone for your patience while I was away.

If you need a hand with anything, get in touch!

Worth a read from the NZHHA 👇

In summary, there has been an increase of misleading advice and unqualified operators in the woodburner and fireplace industry, so it’s more important than ever to make sure you’re dealing with properly certified professionals.

For peace of mind, always check your installer is NZHHA certified before going ahead with any woodburner installation, servicing, or inspection.

As a side note, Bio Flow Plumbing is proud to be Whanganui’s only NZHHA certified installer of wood burners, ensuring all work is done safely and to the correct standards.

Stay informed and protect your home 🏠

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM THE NZHHA ⚠️

It has come to the attention of the NZHHA, local Building Consent Authorities (BCAs), and NZ Police that there are operators within the industry claiming to hold NZHHA SFAIT or SFAST certification when records indicate they are not currently certified, and in some cases may never have held certification.

We have also received reports of homeowners being provided with documentation or advice that may not meet NZHHA certification standards. In some cases, homeowners have reportedly been told that their fireplace has been “condemned” and that the matter is required to be reported to the local BCA.

The NZHHA wishes to clarify that BCAs do not operate a system for recording or registering “condemned” domestic fireplaces in the manner being represented. Independent assessments carried out by properly certified NZHHA members have, in most instances, found that replacement or reinstallation work advised to homeowners was not required.

The NZHHA takes these concerns seriously. All NZHHA members are required to follow our Code of Conduct and uphold professional, ethical, and compliant industry practices at all times.

To help protect yourself, we strongly recommend using registered and currently certified NZHHA members for fireplace sweeping, servicing, inspections, and installations.

If you believe you may have been affected by misleading or improper practices, we encourage you to seek independent advice and, where appropriate, contact NZ Police to lodge a complaint. You are also welcome to contact the NZHHA for guidance or assistance on 06 390 6391.

Thank you for supporting professional and compliant industry standards.
