Air to Air heat pumps in winter

Edgar from Ngaruawahia

Fact is:
As temperatures fall, air-to-air heat pumps require defrosting and then are not providing heat. This makes them less effective in areas with cold winters particularly with high humidity.
And most heat pumps use electric resistance heaters as a backup for cold weather.

The Neighbourly team recognises the value of the site for assessing community need and for this reason, we have a number of features perfect for election purposes.

Any campaigning should take place away from the general noticeboard. We've got a few options to help ensure your message is getting out to Neighbourly members. We'd suggest starting your own group on Neighbourly - this is a great way to connect with those who want to get updates about your candidacy.

We also have business profiles available for all candidates if you would like your messages to appear on the Neighbourly noticeboard. As well as this, we have special Neighbourly Advertising rates for election candidates. Get in touch with us to find out more.

Already an elected official? Neighbourly also offers all elected officials the option of creating an organisation profile to connect with those in their electorate - although these profiles should not be used for campaigning.

If you have any questions or need any assistance then let us know!

The part that sucks is the leak was on my side of the meter so it will be useless going to the council so I am told
