Central Heating New Zealand’s quality European products have proven to be ideal for meeting the central heating needs of Kiwis across the country.
Dunedin's Climate
With winter temperatures being one of the lowest in New Zealand, Dunedin averages a low of only 4°C in July and can drop as low as 1°C compounded with cold temperatures and rainy season in June, July, and August, warm-water central heating works wonders in warming up the entire home while drying away any damp that creeps inside. Dunedin’s weather, available resources, council requirements—all of this combined with your own personal needs and preferences play a part in determining which central heating solution works best for you.
Dunedin's central heating preference
When it comes to providing heat for central heating systems, Dunedin area residents love diesel boilers. Diesel Boilers are very popular in the South Island where there is no natural gas. With diesel being readily available in all urban and rural areas, diesel boilers are compact, quiet, and highly efficient. Both indoor and outdoor models are externally flued and required the installation of a fuel supply tank outside of the house. Air-to-Water heat pumps are a great solution for their versatility and low running costs – commonly used for underfloor heating. Using the same Air-to-Water heat pump you can provide a cooling relief to your floor slab in the warmer months – giving you warmth in the winter and cooling in the summer months, essentially two systems in one. Geothermal heating is a fantastic green solution for those with enough land who want to invest in their properties for the long term. Gas Boilers are popular in the North Island due to access to natural gas. Gas boilers are compact, efficient, economic, and quiet – making it a great choice for homeowners in terms of capital and running costs.
Radiator & Underfloor Heating
Radiator heating suit retrofitting because of the ease of installation and the variety of different styles and sizes available. They respond quickly to ever-changing weather and provide radiant warmth throughout the home. Underfloor heating is mostly used in new builds or during extensive renovations. Underfloor systems can come in different forms, each providing a luxurious form of heating as its radiant heat is evenly distributed throughout your home.
