Terms of Use

Last updated: 31 May 2026

Welcome to Power Buddy. By using mypowerbuddy.co.nz you agree to these terms. Please read them — they're written in plain English and they protect both of us.

1. About Power Buddy

Power Buddy is owned and operated by Temoana Holdings Limited (NZBN 9429053670670), trading as Power Buddy. In these terms, "Power Buddy", "we", "us" and "our" mean Temoana Holdings Limited.

Power Buddy is a free, independent home-energy advisor for New Zealand. We provide energy calculators, a free home energy audit, and a directory of verified Kiwi installers. We are not a power retailer, an installer, or a financial adviser.

2. Using the site

You may use Power Buddy for personal, non-commercial purposes. You agree not to:

Use the site for anything illegal or harmful.
Copy, reproduce, scrape, republish, or distribute any part of the site — including its text, graphics, calculators, layout, design, "look and feel" or underlying code — without our prior written permission.
Use any automated means (bots, crawlers, scrapers, data-mining tools) to extract content or data from the site, or use our content to train or develop any machine-learning or AI model.
Copy or imitate the design, structure or branding of Power Buddy to build, operate or market a competing or similar service.
Submit false information through any form (including quote requests and expert applications).
Attempt to gain unauthorised access to admin or expert areas, or probe, scan or test the security of the site.
Interfere with the site's operation or send automated traffic.

3. Calculators and tools

Our calculators produce estimates for general guidance only. They are not professional advice. Real-world results depend on factors we can't measure online — your home's specific construction, weather conditions, energy use behaviour, and current pricing.

Always confirm important decisions (such as installing a heat pump, switching power retailer or buying solar) with a qualified professional. See our full disclaimer and accuracy notes.

4. Expert directory

Power Buddy lists independent New Zealand businesses ("experts") who provide home-energy services such as heat pump, solar, plumbing, electrical and insulation installation. We verify basic business details before listing, but:

Listed experts are independent businesses, not employees or agents of Power Buddy.
Any quote, contract or work performed is solely between you and the expert.
We are not responsible for the quality, price, timing or outcome of any work.
Reviews on the site reflect the views of the individual reviewers, not Power Buddy.

Always check an expert's credentials, insurance and references before engaging them, just as you would with any tradesperson.

5. Quote requests

When you request a quote, we send your contact details and project brief to the experts you select. By submitting a request you agree those experts may contact you to discuss the work. You can opt out of further contact at any time by telling the expert directly or emailing us.

6. Expert accounts

If you register as a listed expert, you additionally agree to:

Provide accurate, up-to-date business and contact details.
Hold all qualifications, licences and insurances required by NZ law for the services you offer.
Respond to homeowner enquiries professionally and within a reasonable timeframe.
Not misuse homeowner contact details or send unsolicited marketing.

We reserve the right to suspend or remove any listing that breaches these terms or generates valid complaints.

7. Intellectual property

All content and materials on Power Buddy — including the text, graphics, logos, icons, photographs, calculators, tools, page layouts, visual design, "look and feel", and all underlying source code — are owned by Temoana Holdings Limited (trading as Power Buddy) or licensed to us, and are protected by copyright and other intellectual-property laws. The "Power Buddy" name and logo are trade marks of Temoana Holdings Limited and may not be used without our written permission.

You may view the site and share links to our pages freely. You may not, without our prior written permission, copy, reproduce, modify, adapt, translate, republish, distribute, sell, or create derivative works from any part of the site, nor reproduce or imitate its design or code to build a competing or similar service. We reserve all rights not expressly granted. If you believe content has been copied from your work, or you wish to license any of ours, email hello@mypowerbuddy.co.nz.

8. Third-party content and links

The site may include links to third-party websites, retailer information, product images and finance options. We're not responsible for the accuracy, content or practices of any third-party site or product.

9. Liability

Power Buddy is provided "as is" and "as available". To the maximum extent permitted by law:

We do not guarantee the site will be available without interruption or error-free.
We do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of calculator outputs, retailer rates, or third-party information.
We are not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss arising from your use of the site.
Where law implies guarantees that cannot be excluded (such as under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993), nothing in these terms limits those guarantees.

10. Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date above shows when. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated terms.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand. Any dispute will be dealt with by the courts of New Zealand.
