Energy Monitoring – The Power is in Your Hands!
Mitsubishi Electric NZ (BDT)
100% locally owned, Black Diamond Technologies is the exclusive distributor of Mitsubishi Electric products in NZ.
Did you know that the heating and cooling of your home can account for as much as 30%* of your total energy bill? Whether you want to use less energy at home, save money on your power bill or want to actively reduce your impact on the environment, knowing just how much energy you actually use is the first step to change.
How is New Zealand Currently Addressing Energy Use?
New Zealanders are able to track their homes estimated overall energy usage through their power company. While this provides a helpful overview of their total energy consumption, it typically does not show how much energy individual appliances are consuming. Although purchasing energy efficient appliances, turning off lights, and unplugging devices is a great start – we can do much more!
Heating and cooling costs are among the biggest contributors to your power bill. Knowing just how much energy your heat pump(s) use can help you make small changes to improve energy efficiency and save money.
Energy Efficient Technology Helps Us Work Towards a Sustainable Future
In recent years, there has been a huge shift in consumer behaviour and attitudes towards sustainability. New Zealanders have become increasingly aware of their overall environmental impact and are actively making more conscious and informed choices.
A 2020 Colmar Brunton Better Futures Survey found that climate change remains a real concern for at least half the population, with 51% of New Zealanders saying they have taken action on climate change.***
Consumers are actively seeking out products with energy efficient technology that allows them to reduce their impact on the environment and adopt more energy saving behaviours.
At BDT, we hold New Zealand’s environmental challenges close to our hearts and are taking action to help create a greener future for the country. We developed Wi-Fi Control Energy Monitoring to give our customers visibility around their heat pumps’ energy usage and encourage them to make smart choices when heating and cooling their homes. Together, we can work towards achieving the nation’s climate goals and make a world of difference.
Introducing Wi-Fi Heat Pump Control Energy Monitoring
In 2014, Black Diamond Technologies (BDT) was at the forefront of driving smart home technology trends in New Zealand by locally developing and launching Wi-Fi Heat Pump Control. In 2018, we continued to lead the way by introducing Heat Pump Voice Control, allowing consumers to control their heat pump(s) with the power of their voice.
Now in 2024, BDT is giving consumers even more visibility around their heat pumps’ energy usage by launching Wi-Fi Heat Pump Energy Monitoring for compatible Mitsubishi Electric Heat Pumps.** Developed in-house by BDT, right here in New Zealand, it will once again change the way consumers think about heat pumps!

The Mitsubishi Electric Difference: Energy Monitoring That Uses Real-Time Data
The amount of energy any heat pump uses depends on various factors, such as ambient temperature, set temperature, indoor and outdoor climate conditions, mode setting, compressor frequency, fan speed, filter cleanliness, home size, insulation, the unit’s age, humidity, and more.
Due to these factors, it becomes difficult to estimate accurately how much power an individual heat pump uses. Other apps on the market may provide estimates based on tests in laboratory environments or assumptions based on COPs, but without feedback from the unit, they may not always be accurate.
This is where Mitsubishi Electric stands apart. The energy values displayed by the Mitsubishi Electric Wi-Fi Control App are read directly from your outdoor unit in real-time. The actual energy going into the heat pump is monitored and communicated through the Wi-Fi Interface via the internet to your device, providing a more accurate cost estimate.
