We had such a fun time in Tawharanui last night searching for kiwi with . We’ve been long-time supporters of the great work Save the Kiwi do throughout NZ, and it was amazing to see some of the results of their efforts.

The night started with wood fired pizza, before a small group of us jumped on a bus and were taken by to Tawharanui Regional Park to search for wild kiwi. We were given red flashlights and some other fancy infrared tools to help us spot our national icon, and then headed off into the park on foot. Some nights you’re apparently lucky to get a glimpse of a couple, but we were fortunate enough to have an action-packed evening where we saw around 10 different wild kiwi!

It was such a great experience, and a great reminder of the important work Save the Kiwi do in support of our national bird!

We’re working hard in our Avondale factory preparing for the cooler months. Whether you’re replacing an older low-pressure cylinder or planning ahead for a more energy-efficient setup, choosing the right water heater can make a real difference to comfort, performance, and long-term running costs. That’s why we continue designing and manufacturing systems here in New Zealand, built for the way Kiwi homes actually use hot water.

Temperatures are cooling down, which means longer showers, warmer baths, and a little more hot water use around the house. It also means having reliable and efficient hot water ready for the fam matters more than ever – and that’s where we come in. When it matters most, Rheem water heaters keep things running smoothly.

There’s no wrong time to install solar. Even in winter, solar panels can still do their job, helping reduce your reliance on the grid and take the edge off energy costs.

Behind the scenes at our Avondale factory as things start to ramp up for winter. Hot water works hardest when the temperature drops, so it’s worth getting ahead of it before the colder months really hit.

If your current system is getting on or energy hungry, now’s a good time to look at your options before winter demand kicks in. Read more about finding the right water heater here:

Replacing your hot water cylinder isn’t something you do every day. In fact, research shows us that nearly all homeowners don’t even think about this until it breaks down. But when the time comes, it’s a great opportunity to upgrade to something more efficient, sustainable, and future-ready.

Hands-on product training that helps get it right first time!

As water heating systems continue to evolve, staying familiar with how products are built, installed and commissioned has never been more important.

At the Rheem Innovation & Learning Centre in Auckland, we run small, hands-on training sessions for plumbers and gasfitters of all levels.

These sessions are about:

- Understanding how our products are actually built
- Getting familiar with configurations, components and commissioning
- Reducing faults, call-backs and warranty issues
- Asking questions and seeing units up close, just like you would on site.

With live plumbed-in units, factory walk-throughs and practical demonstrations, it’s an opportunity to build confidence working with Rheem products in real-world conditions. Spaces are limited to keep things hands-on.

If you or your team want to brush up, keep an eye out for upcoming Rheem Training for Tradies sessions on our website.

We’re delighted to share a special update on Athena, who is thriving at the Napier Kiwi Crèche under the Save the Kiwi program that Rheem is a proud sponsor of.

She arrived at the crèche on 11 February and has been doing wonderfully ever since. From a hatch weight of 327g and an arrival weight of 394g, she has now grown to a healthy 541g – a fantastic milestone!

She’s settled in at the crèche and is thriving in her environment. Athena is currently enjoying around 70 grams of food each night, helping fuel all that growing!

It’s initiatives like this that make a real difference, and we’re pleased to play a part in supporting the ongoing work of Save the Kiwi in protecting and growing our native kiwi population.

We’re still not done talking about the opening of the Rheem Innovation & Learning Centre!

More than a show room, it’s a place for plumbers to get hands-on, ask questions, and get familiar with how new systems actually work in the real world. From heat pumps to the new range of All Pressure cylinders (and more!), everything’s set up to reflect what’s happening out in the field.

As the industry shifts, there’s a real need to bring people along with it, and this is one way we’re doing that.

Great to see so many familiar faces through already, and plenty more to come.
