Rotorua has the worst air quality in the North Island, caused mainly by domestic fires. To help clean it up Bay of Plenty Regional Council is offering the Hot Swap Loan, an interest free loan, up to $4,000, paid off over 10 years, to replace old wood burners and open fires with a clean heat appliance.

Hot Deal on Clean Heat

The Hot Deal on Clean Heat is a Home Heating Assessment and loan offered to Rotorua Ratepayers in the loan zone to convert old wood burners and open fires to a clean heat appliance.

A clean heat appliance is an energy star heat pump, AGA rated flued gas heater, pellet fire or approved wood burner. Rotorua Heating Solutions offer an extensive range of these under this scheme, please click "Hot Swap Scheme" in the menu on the left to view.
