| 1112111 | 2010-06-21 21:11:00 | Dramatic growth in household heat pumps is sparking fears for the future of the country's already stretched power supply. National grid company Transpower says the number of householders buying heat pumps, and particularly their use as summer air-conditioners, is likely to affect projections of electricity load used to plan for new transmission lines and equipment. Figures from the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) show nearly one in five (19.4 per cent) New Zealand homes now have at least one heat pump, compared with only 4 per cent in 2000. In the year to March 31, 2008, 111,040 heat pumps were sold, 41 per cent more than the previous year. Transpower chief executive Patrick Strange told the Electricity Engineers' Association's conference in Christchurch yesterday that the growing number of people with heat pumps would have an effect on grid planning. "I do shudder a bit about heat pumps. Consumption is going up and electricity planning has to reflect that," he said. |

| 1112113 | 2010-06-21 22:43:00 | I find that with a bit of goading Dragons make good log splitters. Best to get them to do all that stuff in the summer so they won't damage the lawn which in turn makes them work too hard mowing in the rain and then neglecting their other duties. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 1112114 | 2010-06-22 03:25:00 | Heat pump imo a waste of time unless for pensioners. Get a fire man, can heat house, heat the hot water cylinder dry the clothes, cook on it when power down and having sex in front of a heat pump does not cut it for me. No where in NZ too hot in summer for ***** sake we are in a temperate climate. |

| 1112118 | 2010-06-22 05:57:00 | Apart form the stupid ad, ever seen a cat curled up in front of a heat pump? Not. Since we have our heat pump, the cat tries to sit on the dinner table which is directly below our heat pump. Thats until I notice cat. We have had out heat pump in for a full billing cycle now. Units used were 22 a day. This time last year we were using 40 units a day. Or so the bill says. |

Where abouts, as I am in putaruru and as soon as we get this fireplace fixed, we will be needing to get some And no sex in front of the fire. From experience I can tell you its not fun when a spark flys out and lands in your butt crack Nothing stopping me at all. I can still light a fire outdoors anytime night or day. Thanks for the image, now i am glad i am in Putaruru |
