Central heating installation in existing homes
Welcome to the cozy world of central heating for existing homes.
No more chilly nights and uneven temperatures around your home. Only radiant heat that makes every corner, in every room toasty warm. Depending on the design of your home there may be several options to retrofit a central heating system. These include radiator systems, retrofit underfloor heating, ceiling heating and also whole home ducted air-conditioning.
Radiators have changed from the old fashioned boiler systems we once used. They are now run by revolutionary technology that uses an air to water heat pump. Central heating in New Zealand is a thing of the future and is comprised of sleek looking radiators and under floor heating. As a combination, they offer an energy efficient, cost effective form of heating your home.
We will often recommend using underfloor heating where possible, but we understand that older homes may not accommodate this. That’s where radiators come in.
Our central heating system works through an air to water heat pump, by far the most energy efficient way of heating your home.
Benefits of under floor heating
- Radiant underfloor heating delivers unsurpassed comfort
- The system is inconspicuous requiring no wall space for heating units or other visible heating system components and it operates very quietly
- Using the floor as the heat emitter also reduces heat stacking so the temperature is even from the floor to the ceiling.
- Other heating methods lead to the heat building up at the ceiling with the lower part of the room being cold
- High degree of temperature control for each zone
- Dust, pollen, and other allergens are not circulated around a home which leads to a healthier and cleaner environment
- Because radiant underfloor heating does not use forced air pressure there is less heat loss through the home which makes the system more efficient than convection air systems.
The perks of central heating (both radiators and underfloor heating)
- Can be retrofitted in existing homes
- Cost effective
- Energy efficient
- Radiant heat
- Option to add a cooling system with ceiling cassettes and floor units
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
