Heat pumps or air conditioners arrived very late in NZ. It has become very popular recently because of its better efficiency and control of humidity. The house is not damp and moldy as in the case of using open wood or gas fireplace. It is also much easier and convenient to operate and the heat is available instantly. Popular makes are Mitsubishi, National, Fujitsu and Daikin. NZ weather is not warm enough for installing permanent air conditioners in our houses. We normally open the windows wider in summer and that will be enough. What do you know. 20 degrees C outside is exactly like air cond in Malaysia! However, heat pumps has recently become more popular for use in winter because of the new technology and price. It is very efficient and costs much less to operate than my old fashion electric oil storage heaters.
