About Us
Who is Switch?
Switch is a division of Solid Energy New Zealand Ltd, a state-owned enterprise, which operates as a commercial company with only one shareholder, the New Zealand Government. Solid Energy New Zealand Ltd is New Zealand’s largest producer of locally sourced energy and has a strong commitment to investing in sustainable technologies to help New Zealand in its transition to clean, affordable and renewable forms of energy.
Solid Energy created Switch after buying the assets of leading New Zealand solar heating company Sensible Heat in July 2007 to complement its other renewable fuel and technology interests. These include renewable fuel manufacturers Nature’s Flame and Biodiesel New Zealand
What does Switch stand for?
At Switch we realise rising energy costs and the effect some heating systems have on our local and global environment are a concern. You value a warm, healthy, comfortable home or workplace and want your heating to be affordable, and you want it to be gentle on the environment.
At Switch, we share these values. Our range of high-quality space and water-heating products has a strong bias towards renewable fuels and energy efficient technologies.
What does Switch have to offer?
Switch is the New Zealand distributor of a number of leading technologies, including Apricus solar collectors and HDG wood pellet boilers. Through our nationwide network of distributors, you have access to numerous robust heating options, ranging from standalone wood pellet fires to state-of-the-artboiler fed central heating systems that run on wood pellets, or high-quality Apricus solar hot water systems.
And if you want a combination of options, our retailers can design a totally integrated package. Each solution is designed for your individual needs, using proven, best-practice technology to give you cost-effective, affordable results that work.
