NOR’WEST NEWS Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday [Edition June 5 datE] 2018 153 HOME & HEATING Get the right choice for winter Every year around about now people start to plan ahead for their winter heating needs. High on most people’s ‘must have’ list is a Heat Pump. They have naturally become extremely popular because of their cheap heat and “touch of a button” convenience. Heat pumps are however a significant, long term investment, so it’s important to make the right choice. New Zealand properties tend to be of unique design and have many features that greatly affect their heating requirements. Factors such as location, orientation to the sun, room volume, heat loss surface area, and room air flow characteristics, etc. all play a major role. This means that the heat pump that is right for your friend or neighbour is not necessarily right for you. Add to that the fact that all manufacturers claim to have the best, quietest, most energy efficient, and have a multitude of constantly updating models; finding out which heat pump is best is not so straightforward. Getting the right heat pump for your home is a combination of accurate calculation of the space to be heated, taking into account all property characteristic, plus an up to date knowledge of the performance specifications of all makes and models available. This is where the local company Heat Pump Guys can help. They are fully independent heat pump specialists, and are accredited agents for all top brands. They offer an obligation-free home survey and completely unbiased advice on which heat pump is best for you. So if you are considering getting a heat pump this year, give them a call on 0800 47 48 97 or visit www.heatpumpguys. co.nz and book your home assessment. What makes a great Heat Transfer System? There are a number of Heat Transfer systems on the market. Smooth-Air ventilation specialists offer a range of HTU Heat Transfer Units with carefully selected components to optimise the system: They use insulated duct to transfer the heated air with as little heat loss as possible. The fan moves sufficient air for the distance and number of rooms, without being noisy. The diffusers send the heat to the floor, not to skim the across the ceilings. All components are good quality - designed to operate for years without problems. Smooth-Air’s HTUs come in a range of options: One to four rooms, with or without thermostat and with a choice of grilles and diffusers. HTUs improve energy efficiency in your house, as you are using excess heat. They have low power consumption - only 80watts for the three room system. Circulating air through the house also reduces the risk of damp. You can also choose the HTU version with downjet diffusers, which throw the warm air downwards to the floor. These downjet diffusers can also be adjusted to regulate which room receives the most warm air. An average size living room requires 2-4 kw of heating, yet appliances such as log burners generate heat in the region of 10 -20kw. This leaves an excess of 8 -16kw of heat which sits at high level in the heated room, usually above door level. Heat transfer units work best where very hot air has ‘stratified’ into a layer near the ceiling. So heat pumps, which circulate warm air around the room with no layering, are not suitable as a heat source by themselves. However, if you have both log burner and a heat pump, heat transfer systems with thermostat can work very well: The heat pump stops operating once the heat from the fire has heated the room, and the heat transfer kicks in above this point, once there is a layer of hot air at the ceiling.
