Renovating - Think heating
Updating your heating system presents a good opportunity to improve your home’s eco-friendly credentials, cut the cost of future fuel bills and improve property value. Every dollar you spend on central heating provides a two dollar return on investment.
Typically, Central Heating New Zealand would recommend retrofitting a radiator system into your existing house because it provides the best value and most effective whole-home heating solution. In situations where wall space is limited, or radiators are simply not an option, underfloor heating can be installed using Variocomp, an ultra-thin, modular warm-water system that can be used on any floor in any room in your home.
Responsive & flexible heating
Radiators are:
Healthy: Reduces damp and cold spots. Ideal heating option for asthma sufferers.
Responsive: Radiators heat up and cool down quickly. They are ideally suited to New Zealand’s changeable weather conditions.
Safe: Radiators are great for children, the elderly and pets.
Controllable: All radiators are controlled by thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs), and can be turned off individually or as a system.
Programmable: Manage time and temperature controls at home or on the move with the touch of a single button.
Stylish: Radiators come in a variety of shapes, styles and colours allowing them to blend in or stand out.
