Looking for an energy-smart way to heat your water and your home?

Air-to-water heat pumps are at the forefront of efficient, sustainable heating and hot water in NZ.

These systems use outdoor air to heat both your domestic water and, in many cases, your home’s underfloor or radiator heating too.

One of the most exciting innovations in this space.

What’s a Monobloc System?

A monobloc is a compact, all-in-one unit that sits outside your home. All of the major components — the compressor, heat exchanger, and refrigerant circuit — are built into one outdoor unit. That means:

  • Fast, simplified installation 
  • No need to run refrigerant piping inside your home
  • Low maintenance and efficient performance

It’s a smart choice for energy-conscious Kiwi households, especially those planning a renovation or building new. 

Meet the Carrier Blue Hot Water Heat Pump

The Carrier Blue Hot Water Heat Pump is Carrier Toshiba’s dedicated domestic hot water solution. A sleek, high-performance system designed for New Zealand homes. It’s efficient, compact, and delivers reliable hot water using clean energy from the air.

Key features include:

  • Uses up to 75% less energy than traditional electric cylinders
  • Quiet operation
  • Smart controls and timers to match your household routine

Ready for a Smarter Home: Multi Outdoor Systems

What makes these systems even smarter? You can connect them to a Carrier Toshiba Multi Outdoor Unit. That means your heating, cooling, and hot water can all run from a single outdoor unit — ideal for modern homes with limited space and a focus on energy optimisation.

By combining with solar PV, homeowners can create an ultra-efficient, low-carbon home energy ecosystem.

Why It Matters for New Zealand

With rising energy costs and a national focus on reducing carbon emissions, the shift to low-carbon, high-efficiency water heating isn’t just smart — it’s essential.

Air-to-water and monobloc technology offers a practical and scalable way for Kiwi homes to move toward sustainable, future-focused energy systems.
