Consumer NZ and Electric Kiwi

I've noticed for some time that Consumer NZ gives VERY poor advice - now I know why.

As for Electric Kiwi: I found their customer support excellent, and the 10% bonus for prepay and free "Hour of Power" (you can change each day until midnight when that should be, except during peak time of 7-9 am and 5-9 pm) is fantastic - baking, washing machine, dish washer, charging phones, vaccum, etc all happens during that hour. Their app lets you know each day how much you used, paid, and saved, so I have a long spreadsheet with all the data. Last year we had 36.8% of our electricity for free, this year we managed to increase it to 39.26% so far.

That the app shows each day how much electricity you use each hour also helped us to discover within 3 days that our Hot Water Cylinder had a problem - it kept heating every few hours (so usage and costs went up too) which meant cold water was flowing in - and indeed the regulator (?) under the house had failed. We got it replaced and everything is fine, but it could have been MUCH more expensive. Top marks on the app.

If there is ONE thing I wish they would do, then it is to automatically set the Hour of Power each day that gives you the biggest savings. Sometimes I forget to change it and it is really annoying when you only have 3% instead of the 30+% you were aiming at.

Kia ora neighbours, a West Auckland woman who was given less than 15% chance of survival has met with volunteer firefighters who she says helped save her life.

Shortly after 3am on March 28, Laingholm resident Janene Gurnell, 50, collapsed in her home. Her partner immediately called 111 and the Laingholm volunteer fire brigade was the first to respond.

Gurnell said she had no memory of what happened that night, but was told by her partner that less than a minute after the firefighters arrived, she went into cardiac arrest and stopped breathing.

A Fire and Emergency NZ spokesperson said firefighters began CPR on Gurnell immediately and continued until paramedics arrived.

Now this room is vacant, as well as the larger room next to it. A professional person could rent both rooms (one for treatment and one for waiting). We are seeking for a responsible, non-smoking tenant to run his or her professional practice. We think this quiet space with good off street parking would best suit an Osteopath, Chiropractor, Counsellor or Accountant. Please share this email to anyone who might be interested, and please contact us for more details.
