Covid-19 Update Regarding Sustainable Energy

The current coronavirus crisis is prompting many of us to think about how we can live a more sustainable and energy efficient lifestyle. There are several offerings available from banks and suppliers to help New Zealanders achieve their sustainability goals.

Westpac are offering $10,000 interest free home loan top ups for customers wanting to install solar, heat pumps, and ventilation: https://westpac.co.nz/home-loans/warm-up

Kiwibank have sustainable energy loans where they’ll contribute to the cost of your sustainable energy system: https://www.kiwibank.co.nz/personal-banking/home-loans/managing-your-loan/sustainable-energy-loan/

ANZ have a similar offering – $5000 top-ups for heat pumps and ventilation to make your home warmer and drier: https://www.anz.co.nz/personal/home-loans-mortgages/loan-types/healthy-homes/

Genesis Energy are now offering 12c/kWh for PV export, all part of their comprehensive sustainability package: https://www.genesisenergy.co.nz/sustainability.

These are just some of the packages currently available to customers wanting to commit to reducing their carbon footprint and living a more eco-friendly life.

On top of this interest rates are at record lows. Returns on investment for PV systems have improved as expenditure on a system generates better returns than cash in the bank.

During this lockdown Green Van Electrical are still available to provide quotes and discuss your energy needs. Get in touch with us to talk about solar, heat pumps, and ventilation.
