2 WESTERN [Edition NEWS datE] Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday <strong>March</strong> 5 <strong>2019</strong> 21 HOME & HEATING The importance of air quality Choosing the right heat pump for your home The quality of the air we breathe affects our health and ability to perform. We breathe in and out approximately 20,000 litres of air every day. It is therefore very important to ensure good air quality indoors through adequate ventilation. Ventilation is the process of air exchange to provide the necessary air quality that meets the needs of the occupants for clean, fresh air. Low oxygen with high carbon dioxide causes stuffiness in the room and occupants can feel drowsy. Invisible harmful substances like a high content of dust and tobacco smoke are harmful and can cause various diseases. Even bad smells can cause discomfort or irritate the nervous system. In summer, it’s easy to open windows for cross ventilation, however as winter approaches, we start to shut up out houses to trap in the heat and as a result, air quality can decline. Ventilation includes both the exchange of air to the outside as well as circulation of air within the building. It is one of the most important factors for maintaining acceptable indoor air quality in buildings. Filtered air supply for summer and filtered and warmed air in winter creates a healthy environment in which to live and work. In case of poor or insufficient air intake from outside, the oxygen content decreases, humidity and dustiness levels increase. If exhaust ventilation is not provided or it is not effective, polluted air, smells, humidity and harmful substances are not removed. To ensure the quality of your air, contact the experts. Smooth-Air Products can calculate the required air exchange for your building requirement. Smooth-Air offers a wide range of ventilation equipment, from air vents to ducting for fans, for both the commercial and domestic markets. They have an extensive range of fans and ventilation components instore but they can also provide innovative solutions tailored to differing requirements. You can contact Smooth-Air on 0800 SMOOTH (0800 766684). Are you struggling with the heat of Summer or wanting to get organised for Winter? With the ever changing weather patterns, heat pumps have the flexibility of being able to heat and cool which is an advantage no other appliance can offer. This represents great value for your investment as you can use it all year round. The team at Enviro Master Ltd can help keep you cool this Summer either at home or work. Enviro Master supplies, installs and services all the leading brands including Panasonic, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi and Daikin. This means our team can show you which system and brand will best suit your needs. With new regulations coming in for Landlords to provide heating in rentals, now is a great time to beat the 1st of July deadline. Inadequate heating and ventilation can lead to mould growth and dampness in your property, leading to costlier maintenance and an unhealthy living environment. Providing a fixed heater with a higher heat output and lower running costs, like a heat pump, will enable your tenants to heat the area effectively. It will also discourage them from using unflued gas heaters which can make a house damp and mouldy. It is important to remember, when selecting an installer, the manufacturer’s warranty does not cover the installation and consumers could be responsible for any repair or damage caused to the system due to poor installation. Enviro Master’s five-star installation guarantee ensures correct installation, and a demonstration so customers have an understanding on how it will best meet their needs.
