Summer won’t last forever. In fact, March the 1st is the first day of Autumn in New Zealand and that signals the start of colder weather, particularly in Wellington. The city’s location and topography make it a cooler setting than many other places around New Zealand, but it’s nothing a fully functioning heat pump can’t fix. In winter, the city’s temperature can get down to 6°C to 10°C on average. Even though it’s very rare to experience snow or frosty conditions in Wellington, a southerly blast can whip through the capital and bring those icy conditions with it – not to mention much, much lower temperatures particularly during the coldest … Read More

Consumer NZ was established way back in 1959 – it was known as the Consumer Council back then. The organisation’s name changed to the Consumers’ Institute in 1963 and  became a government-funded entity in 1967. In 1986, the government set up the Ministry of Consumer Affairs and the Consumers’ Institute lost its government funding. So, in 1989, the organisation changed into an incorporated society with funding coming through members’ subscriptions. In 2007, the name was changed again, this time to Consumer New Zealand, and as we write this, the organisation currently has about 90,000 members. Over all these years, and through all the chances, Consumer NZ has been known for … Read More

Spring is the season when some people take on a whole new lease on life. They feel energised, fit and frisky. On the other hand,  there are many other unfortunate people who just feel downright sniffly, sneezy and wheezy. While spring is the season of new life, it is also the season of allergies, and the yellow pollen we’re now seeing everywhere is usually to blame. In spring, trees, grasses, and weeds release pollen grains into the air to fertilize other plants. That’s all well and good for Mother Nature, as this is an important part of the process that allows for new growth everywhere. But at the same time, … Read More

The easiest way to create a cool workplace is to install a Mitsubishi heat pump in Auckland businesses. It’s a highly effective and cost-efficient cooling solution that will make employees happier and productivity higher. But there are other things that can be done to keep the office comfortable.
