With our expertise and dedication to excellence, we guarantee unmatched comfort and energy efficiency for your home.
So what heating and cooling options are there? We thought you’d never ask. Let’s talk you through them.
Under Floor Heating
Under floor heating systems produce radiant heat by heating all the objects in your home (floor, walls, carpet, furniture, you) and not just the air around the objects. Radiant floor heating gives your home a very different feel, with no cold spots. Many Kiwis are opting for under floor heating not only because it feels amazing but for its energy efficiency. A heat pump powered, under floor system can be "charged" overnight like a battery using cheap night-rate electricity, then acting as a thermal mass the next day, slowly releasing the heat throughout the house. What else can this great form of heating do for you?
- Optional add-ons include: domestic hot water, cooling and radiators.
- Unless optional floor units or radiators are installed, an under floor heating system is unobtrusive and requires no floor, wall, or ceiling space.
- Very reliable and have modest maintenance requirements.
- The temperature of areas and rooms can be individually controlled.
- Unlike some systems, underfloor heating does not stir up and circulate dust and allergens in your home.
Radiators
Radiators use an air-to-water heat pump technology, that’s right, you don’t need a boiler anymore to use radiators for heating. This type of technology has re-invented the traditional radiator transforming it into a modern, energy efficient heating option. They’ve also come a long way with their design, and now look great on walls. Other benefits include:
- Air to water heat pump systems can optionally heat domestic hot water, further increasing overall energy savings.
- Almost silent when in operation.
- Can have a cooling function added.
- Can be installed in tandem with ventilation systems.
Ducted Heating Systems
A Ducted heating system works by heating the whole house, not just a room. Features include:
- Create even temperature throughout your whole house
- The air travels through discrete ceiling or floor vents
- Control temperature in individual rooms, which means you’re only heating the rooms you need it.
- No wall or floor mounted units, it is vertically invisible
- Extremely quiet
- Option to add an air filter
- Can be installed in tandem with ventilation system
Heat Pumps
There is no doubt that heat pumps are the most popular form of heating in Kiwi homes, and for good reason. Due to their simplicity, convenience, energy efficiency and great value for money, heat pumps really are the go-to. Here are some other reasons why they’re popular:
- The carbon footprint of heat pumps is very low.
- We work with well-known heat pump brands to ensure that our heat pumps are both reliable and require minimal maintenance.
- Heat pumps have no hot surfaces which makes their operation safe for your family.
- Heat pumps improve the quality of air within the home as they are fitted with filtration and deodorising systems that remove tiny airborne particles.
- At the click of a button, you can change to cooling instead of heating.
