• By Emily O’Connell<br />
THE HALSWELL Domain skate<br />
park won’t be ready until the end<br />
of the year because of a resource<br />
consent hold up.<br />
Its consent, which is still pending,<br />
is awaiting further information.<br />
City council head of resource<br />
consents John Higgins said “the<br />
application is with a commissioner<br />
to make a decision. He has<br />
however asked a question of the<br />
applicant which the applicant is<br />
responding to.”<br />
City council head of parks Brent<br />
Smith said subject to gaining consent,<br />
the Halswell Domain skate<br />
park will be built in stages, with<br />
construction set to start at the<br />
end of August. He said the skate<br />
park would then be completed by<br />
Christmas. The Halswell Domain<br />
concept design includes a skate<br />
bowl, rising quarter pipe, mini<br />
ramp, learner ledge, fitness equipment,<br />
seating and a shade shelter.<br />

Council ‘failed the board’ – emails<br />
Mega centre<br />
consultation<br />
woes revealed<br />
• By Emily O’Connell<br />
EMAILS SHOW some<br />
community board members<br />
were unhappy with the public<br />
consultation process for the<br />
$35.7 million Hornby mega<br />
centre’s location.<br />
The emails, released to <strong>Western</strong><br />
<strong>News</strong> under the Local Government<br />
Official Information<br />
and Meetings Act, reveal four<br />
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community Board members<br />
wanted a second round of public<br />
consultation after learning the<br />
cost to remediate Kyle Park.<br />
The facility’s proposed<br />
location on Denton Park has<br />
been highly controversial with<br />
sports clubs fearful of losing<br />
their home ground to the new<br />
Hornby library, customer services<br />
and leisure centre.<br />
The remediation of Kyle Park<br />
was a big factor in the decision<br />
on where the centre is to be<br />
located.<br />
On June 23, board deputy<br />
chairwoman Helen Broughton<br />
emailed city council chief executive<br />
Karleen Edwards asking her<br />
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
DISSATISFIED: Debbie Mora (left), Helen Broughton, Ross<br />
McFarlane and Mike Mora wanted another round of public<br />
consultation on the Hornby mega centre’s location.<br />
or a general manager to attend<br />
a briefing after receiving “the<br />
worst possible outcome.”<br />
“Kyle Park is the preferred<br />
option yet we now know it probably<br />
cannot be used. If we shift<br />
away from Kyle, we will need to<br />
go out for a further round and<br />
look absolutely foolish in the<br />
public’s eyes. City council management<br />
has failed the board,”<br />
she said.<br />
Mrs Broughton emailed<br />
the board members two days<br />
later suggesting they should do<br />
another round of public consultation<br />
with just Denton and<br />
Warren parks.<br />
“I suspect many voted for Kyle<br />
as a way to remove the threat<br />
from Denton . . . I believe the<br />
board is in political if not legal<br />
difficulties if it does not undertake<br />
further consultation. There<br />
will be outrage from the clubs,”<br />
she said in an email.<br />
Board chairman Mike Mora,<br />
and members Ross McFarlane<br />
and Debbie Mora agreed.<br />
“We would be “hung drawn<br />
(and) quartered” (sic) if we do<br />
not face up to the public now<br />
and potentially someone may<br />
consider it grounds to appeal<br />
our actions or inactions,” Mr<br />
McFarlane said in an email.<br />
In July, Ms Mora asked city<br />
council staff about posing<br />
another question to submitters<br />
about Kyle Park not being an<br />
option.<br />
She was told the city council<br />
was in “the process of seeking<br />
legal advice.”<br />
A city council spokeswoman<br />
told <strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong> the<br />
community board was given the<br />
legal advice at the end of July,<br />
but was unable to divulge<br />
what it was as it’s “legally<br />
privileged”.<br />
“A formal resolution to<br />
re-consult was not made by<br />
any board members and the<br />
community board made the<br />
decision to recommend Denton<br />
Park as the preferred option,”<br />
the spokeswoman said.<br />

RICCARTON HIGH SCHOOL<br />
Te Kura Tuarua o Pūtaringamotu<br />
FIRST CULTURE FEST A HUGE SUCCESS<br />
Image above: Riccarton Primary School’s Kapa<br />
Haka group performs for the crowd.<br />
A wonderful celebration of our school and<br />
community’s ethnic diversity was held in the<br />
assembly hall on Friday, March 23.<br />
As the school day came to a close, students,<br />
teachers, parents and people from the local<br />
community came together at RHS to enjoy<br />
exciting and colourful cultural performances,<br />
RECOGNISING EXCELLENCE<br />
and sample an array of ethnic foods at the firstever<br />
Culture Fest. The audience lapped it up,<br />
clapping and cheering for the performers and<br />
tucking into the tasty food.<br />
Suggested by Principal Neil Haywood, the idea<br />
for Culture Fest grew out of last year’s Cultural<br />
Walkthrough, where ethnic group leaders were<br />
brought together to discuss ways to celebrate<br />
the cultural diversity of the local area and<br />
create a sense of belonging for our new New<br />
Zealand residents.<br />
As a community event, it was a collaboration<br />
between the school and the Riccarton Public<br />
Library, with the school’s librarian Sally Blake<br />
and Cultural Diversity Facilitator Lulette Carney<br />
organising the food and entertainment, and<br />
the library, along with community groups and<br />
organisations, providing information about<br />
their particular areas of interest.<br />
KEEpING THEIR LANGUAGE ALIvE<br />
An innovative pilot project has been introduced<br />
to Riccarton High School this year – a Filipino<br />
Literacy and Culture Class.<br />
This followed a meeting in early February when<br />
the idea for the class was presented to parents<br />
to gauge their interest, and enrolments were<br />
sought.<br />
As a result, 35 of the school’s 102 Filipino<br />
students from Years 9-13 spend about an<br />
hour every Thursday after school with Filipina<br />
teacher aide Delia Talili, studying their native<br />
language, Tagalog, and their country’s culture.<br />
DECADES-LONG TRADITION CONTINUES<br />
Head of ESOL Angela Bland says research has<br />
shown that maintaining their native language is<br />
important for immigrant students in achieving<br />
academic success.<br />
A community project, it includes similar classes<br />
being held at Riccarton Primary School, with<br />
both principals supportive of the initiative.<br />
Generous funding for the first year has come<br />
from the Riccarton Rotary Youth Trust, Lavida<br />
and Life Resources and was used to provide<br />
laptops, Delia’s wages and a tasty afternoon<br />
tea, which rounds off the class every week.<br />
A tradition that began way back in 1959 still<br />
continues, as students from Riccarton High<br />
School and Kaikorai Valley College in Dunedin<br />
compete against each other in summer and<br />
winter sporting tournaments.<br />
Participants from the two schools travel to<br />
each others’ home turf each of the two seasons<br />
and year about, with the most recent summer<br />
tournament being held at RHS on March 15 &<br />
16. Some 70-80 boys and girls from each school<br />
competed in athletics, futsal, tennis, touch,<br />
volleyball, and girls in cricket.<br />
The winter tournament will be held in Dunedin<br />
on June 14 & 15.<br />
Sports co-ordinator David Biddick describes it<br />
as the pinnacle of the school’s sporting events,<br />
and one that the students always look forward<br />
to.<br />
Other annual interschool tournaments are held<br />
with Westland High School and Geraldine High<br />
School.<br />

OUR pEOpLE<br />
SAYING FAREWELL<br />
Our long-serving sports co-ordinator David<br />
Biddick is retiring after 22 years service at<br />
RHS. After joining us as cricket coach in<br />
1996, he was asked by the principal to take<br />
on the sports co-ordinator role, which he<br />
started in 2000.<br />
That saw David organising all 34 sports<br />
RHS offers, helping students reach their full<br />
potential through representing the school<br />
in their chosen sport, and encouraging<br />
students of all sporting abilities to<br />
participate.<br />
He extends a ‘big thank you’ to teachers and<br />
parents, whose support through coaching<br />
and management he says is a major<br />
contributor to the school’s sporting success.<br />
David firmly believes that participation in<br />
sport and the values that underpin it, like<br />
teamwork and fair play, provides students<br />
with a strong foundation for life in the<br />
wider world.<br />
David leaves RHS on <strong>April</strong> 13 and looks<br />
forward to travelling overseas with his wife.<br />
We wish him all the best.<br />
Riccarton High School’s Kokiri facilty on the<br />
West Coast near Lake Brunner has served its<br />
purpose well as the Outdoor Education Centre<br />
for our Years 9 and 10 students. However,<br />
given the distance from Christchurch, and the<br />
increased gold mining and forestry in the area,<br />
the Board was looking for an alternative, more<br />
suitable facility.<br />
“We became aware that the Boys’ Brigade<br />
camp at Birch Hill in North Canterbury was<br />
up for sale and we thought that would suit us<br />
perfectly,” principal Neil Haywood says. “It’s<br />
very close to the Ashley Gorge and Mt Thomas<br />

Forest Park walking tracks.<br />
We are very excited to have a facility 45<br />
minutes from school, which will have a lot of<br />
other uses too, such as for geography field<br />
trips.”<br />
Work needs to be done to bring it up to the<br />
new building standard to ensure its safety,<br />
and the current capacity for 24 students will<br />
be extended to accommodate 35-40 students.<br />
Funding for this work will come from the sale<br />
of Kokiri.<br />
The opening of the new facility is planned for<br />
the start of the 2019 school year.<br />

Wendy’s workers may be<br />
forced into ‘industrial action’<br />
• By Emily O’Connell<br />
WENDY’S STAFF may turn to<br />
industrial action if negotiations<br />
over lieu days break down.<br />
The move follows Lyttelton<br />
port workers striking over wages<br />
and rosters, and nurses saying<br />
strike action is likely after they<br />
rejected a pay offer from district<br />
health boards.<br />
The fast food workers’ move<br />
comes after a three-year battle<br />
over lieu days, prompted by<br />
Hornby Wendy’s staff member<br />
Rose Williams.<br />
She went to the Ministry<br />
of Business, Innovation and<br />
Employment with the lieu day<br />
issue after she had been working<br />
at the Hornby restaurant for a<br />
year.<br />
Mrs Williams said Wendy’s<br />
staff were not being given a lieu<br />
day after working on a public<br />
holiday.<br />
In November, the Employment<br />
Relations Authority ruled in<br />
favour of Mrs Williams and<br />
Wendy’s was found to have<br />
breached two sections of the<br />
Holidays Act 20<strong>03</strong>.<br />
Wendy’s was given a list of<br />
orders including giving past and<br />
present employees their days<br />

in lieu or equivalent pay dating<br />
back to July 1, 2012, or since the<br />
restaurants had opened.<br />
Unite Union, of which<br />
Mrs Williams is a delegate,<br />
has estimated it would cost<br />
Wendy’s $1.6 million to pay back<br />
employees’ leiu days.<br />
The union’s national director<br />
Mike Treen said it has sent a<br />
final terms of settlement to the<br />
fast food company.<br />
“If no final agreement can be<br />
achieved very soon, we will be<br />
forced to ask members to take<br />
industrial action in support of<br />
our claims,” he said.<br />
But Mr Treen says it might not<br />
come to that as he doesn’t know<br />
what Wendy’s “final position” is.<br />
“I don’t even know if there’s<br />
a problem with lieu days at<br />
Wendy’s actually because they<br />
haven’t come back,” he said.<br />
Wendy’s did not respond<br />
before deadline.<br />

A SMALL working<br />
party is going to assess<br />
recommendations from a new<br />
report on anti-social behaviour<br />
at the Riccarton bus lounge.<br />
The city council’s crime prevention<br />
through environmental<br />
design report, commissioned<br />
in September last year, was discussed<br />
at the Halswell-Hornby-<br />
Riccarton Community Board<br />
meeting last week.<br />

“I think it’s likely [we’ll approve<br />

said.<br />
The recommendations<br />
include installing additional<br />
CCTV cameras and turning the<br />
vacant cafe space into a security<br />

The report showed a decrease<br />
in victimisations in the area<br />
over the past two years. However,<br />
it said “trends indicate<br />
higher reported incidents over<br />
the mid to late afternoons of<br />
weekdays and Saturdays.”<br />

as well as physical and skill testing. The orientation is designed to help<br />
the students enjoy their homestay experience, to provide advice on how<br />
to proactively interact with their team-mates and to understand the New<br />
Zealand road rules - all in all, how to enjoy the next 22 weeks of their rugby<br />
adventure. The IRP has been running at Burnside High School from 2014 but<br />
has already produced Olympians in Sevens and male and female national<br />
team players in 7s and 15s.<br />
BHS PTA Uniform Shop<br />
The PTA Uniform Shop stocks new and second hand items. The shop<br />
is located at the front of the school in A1. Now is the time to purchase<br />
winter uniforms, all items are available at the shop.<br />
Opening Hours are:<br />
Monday lunchtime 1:00pm - 2:00pm<br />
Tuesdays after school 2.45pm - 4.00pm<br />
Wednesday 4th <strong>April</strong> after school 2.30pm - 4.00pm<br />
A visit from Seasprite helicopter<br />
The Navy Seasprite Helicopter is en route to the Warbirds Over Wanaka<br />
Airshow. When the opportunity arose for the Seasprite helicopter to make<br />
school visits on its way south, Burnside High School jumped at the chance.<br />
STEM activities and exhibitions<br />
Fifteen students from Ashburton College and Burnside High School<br />
recently gathered at the Burnside Campus for four days of Germantaught<br />
STEM activities and exhibitions (science, technology, engineering<br />
& mathematics).<br />
This opportunity was offered to all German-learning students from<br />
the two schools as part of the PASCH schools program through the<br />
Goethe-Institut, and was overseen by Goethe staff member Judith<br />
Geare.<br />
The foundation of the course was laid out on the first day, Friday,<br />
where Bianca Violet and Philipp Legner from Imaginary introduced<br />
the students to several computer programs based on fractals and<br />
polynomial graphing. From there the students were set free to think<br />
up their own exhibition projects and take them from paper sketches to<br />
reality over the next three days.<br />
With Christ The King School directly across the road they were also warmly<br />
welcomed over.<br />
As part of our career development programme, we invite many tertiary<br />
providers to speak with our students throughout the year, to provide them<br />
with a wide range of information and to assist them with their decision<br />
making. It is not often that they turn up in a helicopter!<br />
Today's helicopter visit was an amazing opportunity for 20 students who<br />
have expressed an interest in the Defence Force. They not only got to see a<br />
piece of the Defence Force in action; they also got to interact with the flight<br />
crew and pick their brains about the variety of occupations available. Many<br />
subject classes also benefited from the Seasprite’s visit, including Science<br />
classes discussing the transfer of energy that occurs during a helicopter take<br />
off; Physics classes discussing the rotor blades; and Mathematics classes with<br />
problem sets based around helicopters.<br />
We are grateful to the Defence Force for offering this opportunity to our<br />
school.<br />
Ideas ranged from metre-tall double pendulums to intricate optical<br />
illusions, something from every aspect of the STEM curriculum.<br />
The exhibits will be set up for viewing at the Burnside High School<br />
library until the end of Term 1 and then will travel down to Ashburton to<br />
allow all interested students (and keen maths teachers) to view, learn<br />
and interact.<br />

The $350,000 Knights Stream<br />
skate park will be constructed by<br />
Hunter Civil and is expected to<br />
be completed by the end of July.<br />
Initially, both skate parks were<br />

extended to <strong>April</strong>.<br />
Mr Smith says it’s very satisfying<br />
that work is about to start at<br />
Knights Stream.<br />
“We know there are a lot of<br />
young people in the local community<br />
who are very eager to get<br />
out and use these parks so we’re<br />
keen to see them built as speedily<br />
as possible,” he said.<br />
The Knights Stream skate park<br />
design includes quarter pipes,<br />
timber post skate elements, flow<br />
bowl, pump bump, bank, stair set<br />
up with china bank, a flat open<br />
space with street skate elements,<br />

As part of the overall development<br />
of Knights Stream<br />
Sports Park there will also be a<br />
learn-to-ride facility, a basketball<br />
half-court, pavilion and sports<br />

Funding has become available<br />
to install a toilet with some new<br />

A COMMUNITY initiative<br />
by Housing New Zealand has<br />
expanded after support from<br />
the Hei Hei and Broomfield<br />

HNZ tenancy manager Zoe<br />
Wood, who lives and works in<br />
the area, devised the Tea and<br />

in<br />
August.<br />
Miss Wood<br />
wanted to<br />
demonstrate<br />
the kind of<br />
support HNZ<br />
can provide<br />
in a community.<br />
She started<br />
holding a monthly gathering<br />
for parents and carers of young<br />
children at 126 on the Corner<br />
– which is owned by the Hei<br />
Hei Broomfield Community<br />
Development Trust.<br />
Miss Wood said the community<br />
feedback had been overwhelming<br />
and two volunteers,<br />
impressed with the programme<br />
and its aims, had offered to<br />
come on board.<br />
This means the monthly programme<br />
is now weekly.<br />
And it’s not only locals who<br />
are supporting the programme<br />
– the city council has approved<br />
a $500 community grant so<br />
new toys can be bought for the<br />
group.<br />
Miss Wood was thrilled with<br />
the grant and ongoing support<br />
from families.<br />
“The objective of the group<br />
is to have our community mixing,<br />

Programme designed<br />
to get men cooking<br />
• By Emily O’Connell<br />
A SIX-WEEK course<br />
teaching men to cook will<br />
start in Riccarton this<br />
month.<br />
Men2Cook founder<br />
James Bradshaw started<br />
the programme in Perth<br />
after he noticed a lot of<br />
older men, whose wives<br />
had passed away, couldn’t<br />
cook for themselves.<br />
Mr Bradshaw planned<br />
to start the programme<br />
in Riccarton in October<br />
but he has since moved to<br />
Australia.<br />
The course will now be<br />
led by chef Paul Meek,<br />
and participants will cook<br />
a meal and then eat it<br />
together.<br />
Oak Development Trust<br />
manager Carol Renouf<br />
says Mr Meek is very “passionate”<br />
about people and<br />
the programme.<br />
She said although the<br />
first course will be a pilot<br />
programme, they plan to<br />
keep it going.<br />

that prevents snoring, sleep apnoea, and<br />
dry and raw throats.<br />
Snorex is custom-fitted to your mouth<br />

can be a health<br />
hazard, causing<br />
sleep apnoea, where<br />
the person actually<br />
stops breathing for<br />
short periods.<br />
It can cause<br />
short-term memory<br />
loss, tiredness and<br />
contribute to high<br />

Centuries old folk remedy<br />
supports good health!<br />
A fermented liquid health tonic offers an array of powerful health<br />
benefits. It is none other than the popular apple cider vinegar or ACV.<br />
Since the time of Hippocrates – the<br />
“Father of Medicine” – ACV has been<br />
renowned for its curative properties.<br />
In his popular book “ARTHRITIS &<br />
FOLK MEDICINE”, DR. D.C. Jarvis<br />
reports how he found that Vermonters<br />
who regularly consumed ACV and Honey<br />
had excellent health with many putting in<br />
a vigorous day’s work on the farm even<br />
when well into their eighties. He also noted<br />
the effects of ACV and H on arthritis to be<br />
remarkable with many patients reporting<br />
almost total relief after taking a course<br />
of the mixture. Dr. Jarvis surmised that<br />
the acid and potassium in cider vinegar<br />
counteracted calcium deposits and helped<br />
the body control calcium use. He also noted<br />
that Vermonters who consumed ACV and<br />
H around meal time had excellent blood<br />
pressure and circulation. The reason he<br />
found was that protein foods thickened the<br />
blood and vinegar thinned it. As the blood<br />
thickens it cannot pass as easily and quickly<br />
through the blood vessels and capillaries.<br />
This poor blood flow would reduce cellular<br />
health by limiting nutrients to the cells as<br />
well as waste elimination from the cells.<br />
To prevent cell damage the body naturally<br />
increases blood pressure but this puts<br />
more stress on the blood vessels, organs<br />

and heart. Having ACV and H with meals<br />
will help prevent protein raising the blood<br />
pressure. It also contributes to a feeling<br />
of greater well-being because the thinner<br />
blood circulates quickly and more easily<br />
through the blood vessels. Dr. Jarvis found<br />
regular consumption of CV and H to be<br />
an excellent health tonic with numerous<br />
Health attributes.<br />
ACV is highly nutritious as it contains all<br />
the goodness of the apple in a form that is<br />
readily accepted by the bodyGood health<br />
starts with good digestion and assimilation<br />
of nutrients. ACV taken before food will<br />
stimulate and promote healthy digestion<br />
and assimilation of vital nutrients for good<br />
health. A well-functioning digestive system<br />
helps prevent disease by neutralising any<br />
toxic substances that enter the body.<br />
It is important to note not all ACV is<br />
produced in the traditional way and results<br />
are likely to prove disappointing with these<br />
other vinegars.<br />
Marshall’s Premium ACV & ACV<br />
with 20% Manuka Honey is produced in<br />
Canterbury from Organic whole apples in<br />
the traditional way. It is double strength so<br />
you can use less.<br />

gold) is the next amazing<br />
oil that is extremely rich in<br />
beneficial nutrients, fatty<br />
acids and vitamin E. It gives<br />
the skin a youthful glow<br />
restores elasticity and leaves<br />
the skin feeling plumper and<br />
softer.<br />

HEALTH & BEAUTY<br />
The health<br />
effects of sugar<br />
Should we be alarmed or is this<br />
likely to be another area that science<br />
backtracks on?<br />
The answer to that question is Yes,<br />
we should be worried, there are real<br />
problems caused by the volume of sugar<br />
being consumed by the average person<br />
and when look back over the last decades<br />
the problem is getting worse, not better.<br />
developments in research and<br />
understanding the fields of nutrition<br />
and food safety change how we view<br />
products we consume and patterns of<br />
consumption can make the negative<br />
effects of foods more pronounced.<br />
while these advances should be<br />
embraced, as each development leads<br />
to better understanding and health<br />
outcomes it can also be frustrating to<br />
the average consumer who can feel like<br />
just when they ‘get’ a good healthy eating<br />
plan together, the rules change.<br />
The recommendations for sugar are a<br />
good example of how information can<br />
be confusing, some sources encourage<br />
the complete ban on all sugar containing<br />
products and others, such as the heart<br />
foundation recommend a reduction<br />
rather than complete removal.<br />
It’s not so confusing though really, at<br />
no time in history has sugar ever been<br />
presented as a healthy food, but as in the<br />
past it took more effort to consume sugar<br />
it was less of a problem, we could ‘get<br />
away with it’.<br />
In the past sugar was something that<br />
you could control through how much<br />
you added, in baking and to your cup of<br />
tea. This knowledge then transferred into<br />
the first generation of convenience food,<br />
if it was sweet, it had sugar in it.<br />
what we now face as a challenge is<br />
not that suddenly sugar is bad, but that<br />
it is added, often quietly, to many of the<br />
processed foods we consume, even when<br />
they aren’t sweet.<br />
The availability and often-reduced<br />
price of these foods compared to<br />
healthier option make them an easy<br />
choice to the time poor or uneducated<br />
consumer.<br />
There are some simple tips you can<br />
follow, including reading food labels;<br />
consuming as much food as possible<br />
in a state close to its natural form and<br />
avoiding sugary drinks. Consumers also<br />
need to be aware of marketing claims<br />
that do not provide the full nutritional<br />
picture of a product.<br />
A sensible place to start is by<br />
combining a diet low in processed food<br />
and sugar combined with regular activity<br />
What we now face as<br />
a challenge is not that<br />
suddenly sugar is bad, but<br />
that it is added, often quietly<br />
to many of the processed<br />
foods we consume, even<br />
when they aren’t sweet.<br />
as the path to long-term health.<br />
For more advice and direction to<br />
improve your health talk to your<br />
registered exercise professional, they can<br />
offer some advice and are able to refer<br />
you to sources of information and other<br />
nutritional professionals that you<br />
can trust.<br />

Summer cooling<br />
“Did you know your heat pump is an air<br />
conditioner?”<br />
BUT!! If you bought it for heating it will<br />
struggle to cool the area as cooling is always<br />
less output e.g. Mitsubishi Electric MSZGE42<br />
= 5kW heating and 4.2kW cooling. So always<br />
ask your installer if you want cooling as well as<br />
heating. We at Air Con Christchurch always<br />
advise what we have quoted for.<br />
Heating tips<br />
Select “Heat” on heat pump and set<br />
temperature at approximately 21 – 22 degrees<br />
with fan on Auto<br />
Cooling tips<br />
Select “Cooling” and set at 20 – 22 degrees this<br />
will save you up to 30% running costs and still<br />
be cool (try it and see). 16 degrees is too low.<br />
Heat pump cleaning is now due for<br />
the winter.<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />
Choosing the<br />
right heat pump<br />
for your home<br />
Whether it be a new build, or<br />
a retrofit, most homes include<br />
at least one heat pump, if not a<br />
whole heating solution. They can<br />
provide cheap, clean heat and are<br />
much more convenient than a log<br />
burner as you just need to press a<br />
button. But how do you decide<br />
what is best? Choosing the right<br />
sized heat pump is key to ensuring<br />
optimum comfort levels. Every<br />
situation varies and it is therefore<br />
important to get professional<br />
advice from heat pump experts.<br />
The range varies from wall<br />
mounted high walls, floor mounted systems,<br />
multi systems, ceiling cassettes, right through<br />
to ducted central heating systems allowing<br />
you to have a very discreet way of heating<br />
your whole home to a constant temperature<br />
throughout.<br />
Firstly, you must select a heat pump that is<br />
suitable for the size of the space you wish<br />
to heat. Usually a site visit is the best way to<br />
ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area<br />
taken into consideration but also, insulation,<br />
building orientation, windows and ceiling<br />
space. There are a wide range of heat pumps<br />
available with different heating outputs so it is<br />
important to select<br />
the correct size for<br />
Heating is a major<br />
investment in your home<br />
and it is vital to get the<br />
right advice.<br />
your requirements<br />
that will handle<br />
the job but not<br />
be unnecessarily<br />
overpowered.<br />
Secondly, the<br />
location of your<br />
heat pump is also extremely important. The<br />
cheapest installation is a back to back where<br />
the outdoor unit is positioned directly behind<br />
the indoor unit however this is not necessarily<br />
always the best option. It is vital that the indoor<br />
unit is positioned in a place that will not be<br />
constantly blowing on you. Also important, is<br />
the location of the outdoor unit. Most people<br />
do not want their outdoor unit sitting directly<br />
in their outdoor entertaining area or right<br />
outside their bedroom window.<br />
Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands<br />
have come and gone over the years but there<br />
are a number of manufacturers who provide<br />
reputable and reliable products. All brands<br />
vary in their energy efficiency, quietness of<br />
systems and price, so it depends on your<br />
application as to which will be most suitable.<br />
Major brands such as Panasonic, Fujitsu,<br />
Mitsubishi, Daikin, Toshiba and Hitachi are<br />
all reliable brands backed up by good technical<br />
after sales service.<br />
Ensure your heat pump is installed by an<br />
accredited installer. This will not only ensure<br />
correct installation of your heat pump, but also<br />
validate the manufacturers warranty.<br />
Other things to<br />
consider when<br />
choosing a heat pump<br />
are time clocks, ease<br />
of use of the remote<br />
controllers, air<br />
filtration and also wifi<br />
capabilities.<br />
Heating is a major<br />
investment in your home and it is vital to get<br />
the right advice.<br />
Enviro Master Ltd specialise in the supply,<br />
installation and servicing of all major brands<br />
of heat pumps. Our salesmen are engineers<br />
ensuring you get quality, unbiased advice as<br />
to which system will suit your application<br />
the best. Enviro Master Ltd offer a free, no<br />
obligation quote and will come to your home<br />

www.enviromaster.co.nz.<br />
Fresh air<br />
in your home<br />
All houses require air exchange in order<br />
to stay fresh and dry. No one likes to live<br />
in a stuffy, smelly, damp home. Indoor air<br />
quality is important for the health of the<br />
occupants. Houses can have many sources of<br />
contaminants, such as bathrooms, kitchens,<br />
pets, smokers, and even furnishings. Opening<br />
the windows can refresh the air, but is not<br />
always an option for security reasons and can<br />
also lead to heat energy being lost to outside.<br />
Although older houses have small gaps around<br />
windows and doors, you want to be able to<br />
control the flow of air. You don’t want air<br />
coming in to the bathroom or kitchen and<br />
pushing the soiled air around the house. It<br />
is better to expel the air out of kitchens and<br />
bathrooms to outside. This will draw air in<br />
from the rest of the house to replace the air that<br />
has been removed.<br />
Modern houses are very airtight and<br />
theoretically require a source of incoming air<br />
to allow kitchen and bathroom extraction to<br />
work optimally. Ventilation systems should be<br />
low air velocity and low air pressure so as not<br />
to cause draughts.<br />
There are two main types of ventilation system:<br />
Positive pressure and Balanced pressure.<br />
Positive pressure systems, such as the Dry-<br />
Matic, bring filtered, warmed attic air into<br />
the house, which then percolates through the<br />
rooms, pushing the damper stale air out.<br />
Balanced pressure systems bring in a similar<br />
amount of air to the amount they exhaust.<br />
Balanced pressure systems with Heat<br />
Exchange, such as the HEX390, use the heat<br />
of the outgoing air to warm the incoming<br />
air from outside. These are the most energy<br />
efficient systems available, as they recover up<br />
to 80% of the energy in the air, rather than<br />
losing it to outside. Heat exchangers work just<br />
as well cooling incoming air when the house is<br />
cooled in summer.<br />
The NZ building code has recommended<br />
air exchange rates for houses. To ascertain<br />
the required airflow for your home, please<br />
contact Smooth-Air on 0800 SMOOTH<br />
(0800 766 684), who will also be able to<br />
recommend a solution if your ventilation<br />
doesn’t yet meet the New Zealand standard.<br />
