What we really struggle with in New Zealand is that the way our homes, and therefore our heating and cooling systems, are built is actually quite different from the way they’re done in Europe and North America. So we put a huge amount of effort into developing control systems that are specifically suited to the New Zealand climate and our customers.” Looking ahead, the company’s focus will remain on educating Kiwis about the benefits of world class home comfort.
