If you haven’t heard about the booming Auckland housing market then you must have been living under a rock, because quite simply it is the running ‘hot topic’ of interest on the evening and morning news.
For those selling in this market it is not unheard off for properties to sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars over CV.
For those purchasing it’s an exciting time. Whether it’s about gaining a foot in the real estate door, or purchasing a bigger property for a growing family, chances are there will be alterations and added extras needed to make it the perfect home for you.
When it comes to the right heating option for our homes, owners put a lot of thought and forward thinking into picking the right fit for the family now and in the future, with re-sale value often in the background of many decision making processes.
We all know that heat pumps are energy efficient ways to heat and cool our homes, but respondents in a recent Canstar Blue survey also acknowledge additional health benefits.
Of the 856 respondents canvassed, over half noticed improved health since installing a heat pump, with a similar number of people saying the heat pumps had reduced their power bill and a whopping 88% saying it had made their homes drier and easier to heat.
The stats and interesting points to note
- 53% Noticed improved health
- 89% Purchased energy efficient models
- 50% Noticed cheaper power bills
- 88% Believe their homes were drier and easier to heat
- 31% Used government subsidy to purchase their heat pump
When broken into geographical regions, 71% of Auckland respondents indicated an increase in health benefits and 87% said the units had become a must have in any home they owned.
This point is of particular interest in that the regional average was lower at 79%.
With heat pumps growing in the popularity stakes (and for good reason) it is interesting to also note that only 31% of respondents used the government subsidy to purchase the heat pump.
Auckland has a temperamental climate that delivers at both ends of the mercury. For this reason effective insulation and heating are essential in any good Auckland home.
