Heating, Ventilation and Insulation - Healthy Home Essentials

4/4/2019

 
​Damp homes are unhealthy homes. It’s as simple as that. Unfortunately when winter hits Christchurch, we’re less motivated to open up the windows and air out the house. Even if you wipe all the condensation off your windows every morning, the damp air indoors makes colds, flu and breathing issues more likely. So what’s the solution?
Picture
​We can take pre-emptive steps to help stay warm and healthy during Christchurch's colder months. The recipe to a having a warm, healthy home is based around three key ingredients – heating, ventilation and insulation.

​Ventilation

​Even though it’s winter, a little breeze will help prevent damp and mould forming. On a clear day, opening up windows may be an option. But what about when it’s been grey and raining for the third day in a row? 

In addition to heating, did you know that heat pump also act as ventilators? Heat pumps recycle the air in a room, filtering in fresh air from outside while removing the damp air inside? Heat pumps play a major part in dry, healthy homes because they keeps the air flowing in and out.

​Insulation

​Think of insulation like a big blanket for your home. Insulation makes it easier to keep the heat inside your home instead of losing it through the walls, floor and ceiling. On the flipside, when temperatures rise across Christchurch in summer, good insulation also helps keep hot air out so your home stays cool. Whether you’re using your heat pump for heating or cooling, quality insulation will help your home be more comfortable and energy efficient.

​Heating

​It’s much easier heating a dry home than a damp home. In winter, you want to feel warm as well as dry to beat the winter ills and chills. The World Health Organisation recommends heating your homes for 18° to 21°C to prevent catching colds and flu. Unlike a dehumidifier, whose only purpose is drying out damp rooms, or an element heater that’s costly to run, heat pumps are effective at keeping your home both warm and dry.

Heat pumps are the most economical and energy-efficient way of heating and airing out your home. Heat pumps are also easy to adjust and monitor, giving you full control over your home’s comfort. Plus, heat pumps are also useful during the hot summer months in Christchurch when air conditioning is essential.
