Econo heaters

Hi Denny, I have just been getting quotes for a heat pump in our place, so can give you an idea :-)

we are looking at a pretty small unit (between 4kw and 6kw) and the quotes have ranged from $2199 - installed with the EECA subsidy through to $3450 for a 6kw Daikin model. we ended up going with a mitsubishi model, installed for $2528.

Heat transfer kits (have been looking at them too!, you can buy kits from places like Mitre 10 for around $400 (3 outlets) and to get a heat transfer kit installed on our SmartVent (like DVS,HRV) its around the same.

Hope that helps!

Oh and I got given a whole lot of info re running costs for heat pumps and the models we were looking at would cost us approx $1.20 a day to run over an 8 hour period, so adding approx $40 to our monthly power bill :-)

We are looking into under floor and ceiling insulation as well as a heat pump at the moment. I found out that you can get $1300 towards insulation plus $500 towards a heatpump. You can also get a loan from the council for up to 5k. This gets repaid over 9 years with 7% interest. The repayments get put on to your rates so when you come to sell your home the new owner will take over!
