Hawke’s Bay Sunshine Safeguards Family’s Future

Solar had always appealed to Hugh Mazey and his fiancée Lisa, but with a one-year-old and the costs of a young family, it felt like a future investment rather than something they could make happen today. So when Hugh requested a quote from Lightforce Solar, he wasn’t expecting things to move quickly.

After moving from Wellington to Havelock North three and a half years ago, Hugh quickly fell in love with the Hawke’s Bay lifestyle, particularly the sunshine. Now, that sunshine is about to start working for their home too.

With electricity costs continuing to rise, Hugh and Lisa had been looking for ways to make their household more energy efficient and free up more money for the things that matter most to them: their son Arthur, their cat, Mo, and dog, Cooper, family trips, and creating memorable moments together.

So, when it came to enquiring about solar, Hugh figured there was little to lose, and a whole lot to gain.

At a minimum, he would learn more about solar, understand what a system could look like for their home and better understand the investment. Instead, he found himself pleasantly surprised by the different systems and price points on offer, only to then win a $12,000 Lightforce Solar installation.

Working with Lightforce Solar helped change that perception. Hayden from Lightforce Solar prepared different system options and scaled quotes, helping the family understand what was possible for their home and budget.

The system is particularly well suited to their lifestyle. With both Hugh and Lisa regularly working from home, much of their electricity use happens during peak sunlight hours, allowing them to make the most of the energy their system generates.

And with no system cost to repay, thanks to winning a $12,000 install from Lightforce Solar, the family can start benefiting from the power savings immediately.

Hugh says, “reducing power bills will mean we can put that money towards other expenses, family trips and experiences, which means a lot to us with a one-year-old”.

There’s also something fitting about using the Hawke’s Bay sunshine to power the family home. The region’s climate was one of the reasons they chose to make Havelock North home in the first place. “Knowing the sun is working with us to help power our house is amazing” adds Hugh.

The Hawkes Bay family are already embracing the energy independence that will safeguard his family’s future. For other Kiwi families who are curious about solar but aren’t sure where to begin, his advice is simple: start by finding out what could work for you.
