MHI Rated Top Brand of Heat Pumps by Leading New Zealand Consumer Organization
-- First Time for MHI Thermal Systems, Based on Market Survey in the Heat Pumps / Air Conditioners Category --

Consumer NZ is a non-profit, membership-based product review organization focused on consumer protection, well regarded in New Zealand for more than 60 years. It conducts product reviews and customer satisfaction surveys of household appliances and other consumer goods to assist consumers with purchasing decisions, and each year selects its recommended brands for each product category. The performance of heat pumps was compared according to such factors as “Heating efficiency,” “Low-temp performance,” “Outdoor noise,” and “Indoor noise.” Customer satisfaction was measured based on a survey of consumers who purchased one of these units in the last five years, assessing such factors as performance, reliability, price, overall satisfaction, and whether the consumer would purchase the same product again. Based on these results, MHI was rated the highest overall among the recommended brands, receiving high marks for performance, with minimal technical issues, and high level of customer satisfaction.

MHIAA has also been recognized as the Best Air Conditioner Brand for three consecutive years since 2018 by CHOICE® (the Australian Consumers Association), Australia’s leading consumer advocacy group, as well as rated the Most Satisfied Customers of Air Conditioners in Australia for two consecutive years from 2019 by Canstar Blue Pty. Ltd., and the highest rated brand for 2020 by the Australian market survey site Finder. This latest award from Consumer NZ follows these achievements.

Expressing his delight at having received this honor, MHIAA Managing Director Yuji Ito said: “We are constantly striving to enhance our brand presence in both Australia and New Zealand. I am extremely pleased by the high ratings we’ve received from customers in New Zealand, which led to this award.”
