Welcome to Ethos Energy

Ethos Energy strives to deliver the highest standard of advice and service whilst using the most efficient & reliable products.

We place the highest value on creating & maintaining long lasting relationships with our clients and our community for a more energy efficient future. Our mission is to support our community to grow and thrive.

We do this through our own work and by supporting programmes like Seedling Yoga for Schools (facebook.com/seedlingyoga) a locally designed social and emotional learning programme that uses the science of Yoga to support mentally, physically and emotionally healthy classrooms.

As we grow, our ability to help others grows.

What’s Your Ethos Towards Energy?

The cost of energy is one of the biggest costs for homes, schools and business. From our research, most buildings waste energy from using outdated, inefficient technology.

Heat Pumps and Ducted System.

Efficent Heating is a big issue for home owners. Heat Pumps Systems is one of the most efficient ways to heat your home and business.
In some cases, up to 500% more efficient.

We hate the idea of you waiting in the cold for your heat pump installation which is why we endeavour to keep your wait time to 10 working days or less. This is so important to us that if we can’t keep this promise we offer a 10% discount on your install.

Heat Energy Recovery.

Do you have unbalanced heat across your property? Crying windows? Stuffy offices or /classroom with no fresh air?
The best way to improve the air quality in a home, business or school without losing heat is to use a Balanced Pressure Heat Recovery Ventilation system.

Ethos energy is the leader in the local region with extensive knowledge and credentials in this new technology and have the right the tools at their disposal to design and install in all situations.

LED Lighting.

Did you know LED Lights pay for themselves over the course of their lifetime? Most commercial and school buildings have old, inefficient fluorescent fittings.
LED light fittings use up to a third less electricity, slashing energy costs.
Some Schools and commercial buildings can recoup the costs of switching to LED Lights within 6 to 24 months* from installation.
*This depends on the light use time and quantity of fittings that are replaced.

'Stop' Bump vs speed hump

Sara from Island Bay

Hi neighbours and beyond

Hi neighbours and beyond

I'm all for speed humps and pedestrian crossings especially near schools.
Buttt... I'm really struggling with the new combined crossing/bump on Britomart Street by Berhampore school. It is so harsh that I'm nearly at a stand still to get over it and even then it's still harsh on my car. I've nearly stalled and get weird looks from kids doing the patrol as they wave me through.
Does anyone else have similar thoughts about it?
I would like to propose to the council that they smooth the harsh edges but they will laugh at me if I'm the only one.
Looking forward to your thoughts

So all ages and levels of ability are welcome. It's an excellent workout for the body and the brain as well as being lots of fun.

I am looking forward to going to training school and continuing to socialise to let out some of my big puppy energy. I am estimated to be medium to large once fully grown. I am the girl who is always up for a cuddle and treats, and will generally be the bravest of my siblings. Being a young puppy, I do require a home with someone around for parts of the day. This will help build my confidence around people, ensure I get lunch, and help with general training. If you think I am the pup for you, contact SPCA’s Canine Team for more information."
