Gas to Hot Water Underfloor Heating Conversions

As gas prices rise more home owners are converting their existing gas underfloor heating systems to be powered by a hot water heat pump.

Here are the top 5 reasons to switch:

1. Energy Efficient – A hot water heat pump is extremely efficient and can use up to 70% less energy than a traditional gas boiler
2. Better for the Environment – Heat pumps emit less greenhouse gas emissions than gas boilers. In New Zealand our national grid is close to being 100% powered by renewable sources of electricity.
3. Improved Air Quality – Gas creates byproducts of carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides which can have a negative impact on the air quality in your home.
4. Power to Solar Energy!– Your heat pump can even be powered by a home solar system, essentially creating a no emission heating system for your home.
5. Future Proofing – We urgently need to transition away from using fossil fuels. It is likely that future regulatory changes will make the ability to heat using gas less desirable. It is worth getting ahead now!
