Pioneer has been an innovator in home comfort across Australia for over 30 years and now, in partnership with HRV, brings that innovation and experience to New Zealand*. Here’s why a heating and air conditioning brand that’s trusted across the Tasman is a great choice for your home here in Aotearoa.

Why Pioneer is a smart choice
A cooler coolant
All Pioneer air conditioners and heat pumps use M50 hydrocarbon refrigerant. (Refrigerant is what moves heat energy from one part of your system to another.) Hydrocarbons are naturally occurring organic compounds, made up entirely of hydrogen and carbon. Hydrocarbon refrigerants are environmentally friendly, non-toxic and don’t deplete the ozone layer.
 An environmentally friendly refrigerant
To get technical for a moment, hydrocarbon refrigerants like those used in Pioneer air conditioners have an extremely low Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 3, which is great for the planet.
 Professional installation, reliable service: the HRV difference
To operate at its best and keep working well for many years to come, your Pioneer Blade heat pump needs to be professionally installed and serviced annually. HRV’s nationwide technician network is trained and ready to take care of that for you.
 7-year warranty
Pioneer offers a massive 7-year warranty on everything it makes, giving you unbeatable peace of mind!
 Why Pioneer is a smart choice

Here’s why a heating and air conditioning brand that’s trusted across the Tasman is a great choice for your home here in Aotearoa.
 
   Safe for you and the environment  Pioneer air conditioning systems have a global patented hydrocarbon refrigerant gas safety detection system. A refrigerant gas detector is located inside the indoor unit (located in the roof cavity). If a leak is detected the system will immediately go into a safety pump down, pumping all the refrigerant into the outdoor unit and then shutting the whole system down.      
 
   M50 refrigerant  Pioneer’s revolutionary M50 hydrocarbon refrigerant operates safely, with a low environmental impact.      
 
   Engineered for Kiwi conditions  New Zealand winters are hard on heat pumps due to the outside ambient conditions being cold and damp (high humidity) so Pioneer has developed special heat exchangers for New Zealand with higher refrigerant fluid velocity, higher refrigerant turbulence, higher surface area and large temperature differential – all contributing to more efficient heat transfer and shorter defrost times.      
 
   Easy on the planet  M50 refrigerant also means your Pioneer Blade Series heat pump has extremely low global warming potential (GWP) and an ozone depletion potential (ODP) of zero. That makes choosing Pioneer a great way to help take care of our planet!      
 
   Total control  The touch control is a wall mounted controller that is centrally located for you to set your desired temperature and automatically set it to turn on and off at a time that’s convenient for you.      
 
   Wi-fi control  Coming home to a room that’s welcoming and warm (or cool in summer) is easy – your Blade Series heat pump is wi-fi enabled so you can set the desired temperature from your Pioneer smartphone app.   Explore the Pioneer range
Pioneer Blade Series
The Pioneer Blade Series features high-wall heat pumps designed to quickly and efficiently heat or cool one room. Inside, the unit delivers warm or cool air where you need it, as set on the handy remote control unit or smartphone app. Outside, an efficient air conditioning unit takes ambient heat from the air or removes it from your room.
