How to stay<br />
warm and dry<br />
Kiwi homes contain hidden health<br />
dangers. Yet first aid for unhealthy<br />
homes needn’t cost a fortune. It can<br />
make a home more saleable as well as a<br />
healthier place to live.<br />
Many older homes are cold and damp<br />
and sometimes have other hazards such<br />
as lead-based paint and asbestos.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are a number of steps to take to<br />
make your home more healthy.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y include behavioural change,<br />
the cheapest way to make your home<br />
healthier is to open windows to<br />
ventilate.<br />
If you’re out a lot, but want to<br />
increase natural ventilation buy some<br />
security window stays or locks that<br />
allow you to leave windows slightly<br />
open when you’re out. This can be a lot<br />
cheaper to buy and run than high-tech<br />
systems.<br />
If nothing else, insulate the ceiling<br />
and under the house. <strong>The</strong> Energy<br />
Efficiency and Conservation Authority<br />
(EECA) has information on its website<br />
about funding grants available through<br />
the Warm Up New Zealand campaign.<br />
By 1 <strong>July</strong> <strong>20</strong>19 all rental properties<br />
must have ceiling and underfloor<br />
insulation Ventilation systems move<br />
moisture from the air making the home<br />
healthier and feel warmer.<br />
Adding a sheet of heavy polythene<br />
beneath a home can provide an efficient<br />
moisture barrier beneath piled homes.<br />
A heat pump will warm and ventilate<br />
rooms in the winter and cool them in<br />
the summer. Watch out for hard sell in<br />
this market though and shop around<br />
before buying heating or ventilation<br />

EECA suggests a number of different<br />
options for secondary glazing, which<br />
is cheaper than retrofitting double<br />
glazing.<br />
Alternatives include DIY window<br />
insulation, aluminium framed<br />
secondary glazing on the inside of<br />
the existing glazing, or acrylic sheets<br />
attached internally.<br />
<strong>The</strong> latest technology is Low-E films,<br />
which are stuck to existing windows.<br />
This can reduce heat loss by 42 per cent<br />
says Chris Olson, general manager of<br />
<strong>The</strong>rmafilmNZ.<br />
Healthy homes aren’t just about<br />
insulation and moisture removal.<br />
Using fewer toxic chemicals can<br />
make your home healthier to live in.<br />
Parents of young children sometimes<br />
worry about exposure to chemicals as<br />
do asthma sufferers. As a result some<br />
buyers will also be impressed.<br />
Dust mites can make a home<br />
unhealthy to live in. Use a hepa filter on<br />
your vacuum cleaner or at least vacuum<br />
more often and empty the bag between<br />
cleans.<br />
Decluttering as well reduces the<br />
places that dust can build up.<br />
Mould spores can be very bad<br />
for your lungs. If mould builds up<br />
anywhere in your house clean it off as<br />
soon as possible. If this is an ongoing<br />
problem consider ways to reduce the<br />
humidity.<br />
If your home was built before the<br />
1980s watch out for lead paint and<br />
asbestos. Both should be removed by an<br />
expert.<br />
