Central Heating Christchurch
How to Obtain the Perfect Even Temperature Throughout Your Home
We are often asked the following questions: "What central heating options are available in Christchurch?" and "Which central heating system is the most energy efficient, helping to keep my power bills down?"
Central heating systems provide an extra level of comfort, spreading an even temperature throughout your home. In New Zealand the two main options to choose from are a central heating unit powered by a boiler and radiator, or a ducted central heat pump.

Boiler System and Radiator vs Ducted Heat Pump
A boiler system is fuelled by diesel, gas, or electricity. Water is heated in a radiator and the steam from that centrally heated hot water spreads through your plumbing. The radiator can take some time to heat up, and any central heating temperature adjustments won’t be felt for a while. On a particularly cold Christchurch day, you’ll hear the pipes creak and groan as the steam moves around and they slowly warm up. You may not notice the noise during the day, but it’s not what you want to hear if you value a good night’s sleep. Aesthetically, radiator fins attached to the wall can really stick out, no matter what colour you paint them.
In comparison, a ducted central heat pump system works the same as a regular heat pump, but on a much larger scale. Central ducted or HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) system is normally installed in your Christchurch home’s attic or roof cavity. It’s connected to insulated air ducts that transfers air from inside your home via the return air vent, filters it, adjusts the temperature, and spreads the air through discreet vents in each room of your house. The air vents in your ceiling are very discreet, and can be customised to suit the decor of each room.

Example of central heating via a ducted heat pump solution
Because HVAC systems rely on air transfer heat pump technology and not an element to adjust the temperature, ducted heat pump systems are much more energy efficient than a radiator or boiler, which means they are much cheaper to run. It also means central ducted systems are very quiet, and won’t keep you awake at night.

Central Heating Temperature Control
Living in Christchurch we know to expect four seasons in one day, and living comfortably means owning a home that can respond to changes in the weather as fast as the temperature shifts. For example, on a Christchurch winter’s day, we all want to come home to a warm, dry house. However, sometimes it’s not practical to leave the heating on all day and the weather might change drastically while we’re out and about. A ducted heat pump system allows you to quickly make adjustments so your entire home can enjoy total climate control. The beautiful thing is that it can be done with the simple press of a button.
Wi-Fi Controller for Mobile Phone ControlAn optional feature is to have a Wi-Fi controller installed with your ducted heat pump system. Wi-Fi control means you can see and adjust your home’s temperature from your smartphone.
You’ll never have to return to a cold home again! You can turn your central ducted system on as you leave work, and your home will be toasty by the time you’ve beaten Christchurch traffic. |
