Heat Pumps for a Dry and Healthy Home

11/2/2020

 
​Did you know the exact same heat pump in two different Christchurch homes may heat those spaces differently? Why? Damp living areas are much harder to heat than dry rooms.

Ten times better than your normal heaters – heat pumps work like dehumidifiers to keep your homes dry and healthy.

​How do Heat Pumps Work?

​Heat pumps work in two ways – refrigeration and absorption. Refrigeration is the cooling of the air to remove moisture, while absorption is absorbing moisture in the air into a drying material which is then removed. The absorption process involves removing water from the air using a water holding material and then afterwards squeezing it to get rid of the collected water.

​How Can Heat Pumps Make A Home Healthier?

​Damp homes in Christchurch can easily develop mould and mildew causing the all-too-familiar rotten, stale smell inside houses. The damp and mould can make people sick, and contribute to a number of breathing difficulties like asthma. Families with small children and elderly people are especially vulnerable to these types of illnesses. However, with dehumidifying heat pumps you can enjoy an odour-free environment that will keep you warm, dry and healthy!
 
Recycling the air inside your home can also help you avoid skin irritations and respiratory issues. You can breathe easier with fewer allergens like damp, dust, mould or pollen.

​How Do Other Heaters Make Homes Damp?

​Using other heaters to dry laundry inside can cause issues. While heaters dry your clothes, they also release that moisture into the air, making your home cooler and more damp.

Damp homes become harder to heat, so as your laundry dries, you may find your home actually feels colder.

You can say goodbye to damp laundry days with your heat pump as they recycle the air in your home as it’s heating.

​How To Keep My Home Dry?

​Cooking also releases a lot of moisture into your home. While you’re cooking, make sure you’re running an extractor fan.

Even on cooler winter days, it’s worth opening up some windows if you’re not going to be home during the day. Though that might not be the best idea if it’s raining. It can be difficult in winter to open up the house and let it air out like we do during those lovely Christchurch summers. So if you’re finding damp and mould is an issue, ask us about a heat pump.
 
Heat pumps are safe, cost effective and energy efficient. Just as importantly, with their dehumidifying abilities they offer you and your loved ones a clean and healthy home.
