New Zealand’s natural gas supply is in decline. With dwindling supply and rising line charges, gas is quickly becoming both less affordable and a less secure energy source for homes. More and more people are choosing to install electric cooking and heating appliances to offset the rising costs and environmental impacts. Gas cooking has also been proven to have negative effects on human health in NZ, based on recent studies.
Hot water heat pumps offer a far more efficient and lower-emission alternative to gas. They work by extracting heat from the air and transferring it into water. In New Zealand conditions, hot water heat pumps have around 60 – 75% lower energy use than conventional electric or gas water heating, significantly reducing household running costs. Because heat pumps run on electricity from NZ’s predominantly renewable grid, they also cut carbon emissions substantially — potentially saving many tonnes of CO₂ over a system’s life — while avoiding ongoing gas line charges and future fuel supply risk.
Hot water heat pumps are a great addition to your solar system and your eco-efficient home.
EXCELLENT Based on 77 reviews Posted on Bhanu DavuluriDecember 21, 2025.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had solar panels installed by Avid Solar. From the initial consultation to the installation, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. They took the time to answer all my questions and made sure everything was set up perfectly. I’m already seeing savings on my electricity bill and feel great about going solar. Highly recommend Avid Solar for anyone looking to make the switch!Posted on Chris ShawDecember 20, 2025.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Spent a number of years researching solar - Avid team were phenomenal.. white glove experience all the way!Posted on Karen ChaseDecember 8, 2025.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the first day of contact we have had exceptional service from Avid Solar. The quotation process and subsequent questions were handled promptly with all the information we needed. We were kept informed throughout the process until installation, and timelines given were exact. The installation was done quickly and efficiently. Follow up service and the inspection were prompt. The entire team were professional, friendly and an absolute pleasure to work with. Most importantly only a week after installation the system is working perfectly and we can already see the massive benefits of having solar. Quite honestly we could not speak more highly of Avid Solar.Posted on Zane ChaseDecember 3, 2025.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
