Did you know the Winter Energy Payment is back? From 1 May to 1 October, eligible Kiwi households receive a little extra help with their power bills, and it lands automatically with no application needed.
A top-up helps with the bill, but how you heat your home decides the bill. Hydronic underfloor heating turns your floor slab into gentle, even warmth from the ground up, with running costs of around $1.12 to $2.20 per square metre. Pair it with a hot water heat pump and you can save up to 75 percent on your hot water, too (source: Rewiring Aotearoa).
