Appliances & Solar/Wind generation


Once you have an efficient thermal envelope and improved air quality, now is the time to consider your appliances and also energy generation.

Most new appliances in New Zealand have an Energy Rating Label on them.

If you have a roof, then your house may be suitable to have solar

Selecting Appliances

When considering an appliance, look for the energy rating label:

This shows you, at a glance, how energy-efficient that model is and how much it’ll cost to run. This makes comparing models and choosing an efficient one easier. All large whiteware, TVs, some computer monitors and heat pumps have these labels.

Energy Rating Labels have two important pieces of information: the star rating and the energy consumption.

Solar

Solar panels can be very effective in Auckland.

  • As vehicles and homes electrify, double to triple the current renewable electricity load will likely need to be delivered to homes.
  • The lowest-cost way to produce much of this additional energy is feasible from rooftop solar on homes

Appliances

  • Do I have old appliances?
  • Do replacement appliances have ratigs showing low energy use?

Rooftop Solar

  • Does the structure of my house allow for solar installation
  • Do I have electric vehicles, in addition to electric heating/cooling?

Other electricity generation

  • What other sources of local electricity generation are available?
