Save on Power With Mitsubishi Heat Pump Monitoring
Did you know that heating and cooling can make up around 30% of your household energy bill?*.
Whether you’re looking to cut costs, reduce your energy usage, or lower your environmental impact, the first step is understanding how much energy your home—and specifically your heat pump—is using.
See Beyond the Power Bill
While most New Zealanders can track their overall household energy use through their power company, these insights don’t break down how much power individual appliances are consuming. That’s where Mitsubishi Electric’s Wi-Fi Heat Pump Energy Monitoring comes in.
Heating and cooling are major contributors to your power bill. Knowing exactly how much energy your heat pump is using gives you the ability to make smarter, more efficient choices—saving you money without compromising comfort.
What Affects Heat Pump Energy Usage?
The energy use of a heat pump can vary significantly depending on:
Room and outdoor temperature
Set temperature and operating mode
Home size, insulation, and humidity
Filter condition and unit age
Fan speed and compressor frequency
With so many factors at play, real-time energy monitoring can help you understand how these variables impact your usage—and how to optimise performance.

Simple Tips to Cut Heat Pump Energy Use
Small changes can lead to big savings. Here are some easy adjustments you can make:
Use Auto Mode for fan speed
Set a timer or schedule your heat pump
Lower the set temperature slightly
Set usage rules for better control
Energy Monitoring = Smarter Heating & Cooling
Once you start tracking your heat pump’s energy usage, you’ll find ways to save without even noticing the difference in comfort. For example:
Lowering the temperature by just 1°C can reduce energy use by up to 10%
A 2°C reduction often feels the same—but could cut energy use by up to 20%
Setting your heat pump to a higher temperature won’t heat the room faster—it just makes your system work harder and less efficiently
Healthier Temperatures, Healthier Living
According to the Ministry of Social Development, the ideal indoor temperature for health and wellbeing is:
19°C to 21°C for living areas
18°C for bedrooms to support restful sleep
A room that’s too warm can disturb sleep, while efficient temperature settings can help regulate body temperature naturally and comfortably.
