Safe and warm
A warm, dry home is a healthy home. It keeps bugs at bay, children well and the whole family happy.
Doctors recommend that homes be kept at 16°C or above, with 18°C the recommended temperature for bedrooms, and 21°C for living rooms.
Below 16°C, our resistance to respiratory diseases weakens, leading to an increase in coughs and colds - common triggers for flare-ups in New Zealand's large asthmatic population.
Older people have a higher risk of dying in winter when the temperature of their home drops below 20°C. The cold makes their blood become thicker, leading to an increase in the number of heart attacks and strokes.
Above 24°C, homes become uncomfortable.
Healthy temperate living
Warm water central heating is the ideal way to enjoy a temperate living environment throughout your entire home. Because you can install individually controlled radiators in every occupied room, you're assured of an even temperature distribution and a safe, healthy living space.
