Who Should Do the Work
In New Zealand, electrical work must be done by an EWRB-registered electrician, and hot water cylinder plumbing by a certifying plumber. A hot water heat pump installation usually involves both trades, so ask who is doing each part of the job.
Installation services are covered by the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (work must be done with reasonable care and skill) and the Fair Trading Act 1986 (no misleading claims). Keep your quote, invoice and any certificates from the job.
The Energy Picture in Southland
There is no reticulated natural gas network in the South Island - homes that use gas rely on bottled LPG, which costs more per unit of heat than electricity in most cases. Most homes here already heat water with an electric cylinder, and a hot water heat pump cuts that energy use by 60-75%. Southland's cold winters make cold-climate ratings essential, and the energy savings versus a plain electric cylinder are at their largest here because hot water demand is high.
Rebates in Southland
There are none. New Zealand has no rebate scheme for hot water heat pumps, national or regional, so no installer should be promising you one. If the upfront cost is the barrier, bank green home loan top-ups (from about 1% p.a. with the major banks) are the main lever. See what actually exists in Southland→
