2 WESTERN [Edition NEWS datE] Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday June 4 2019 21 HOME & HEATING Get rid of dampness in your house Now with the colder and wetter weather on its way, home owners are focusing on ways to make their homes comfortable, warm and healthy for their families throughout winter. Rising damp is an issue that affects many of our older properties which suffer from poor, or no, insulation. In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many people have relocated to homes that suffer from rising damp which can be associated with health problems. Independent tests have shown that up to 40 litres of water can rise from the ground and enter a house every day, leading to mildew, mould, condensation and musty smells. Moulds can produce various allergic reactions and the frail, elderly and very young are especially vulnerable. Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a locally owned and operated firm. The team understands the problems caused by rising damp and are there to help. They will come to your damp home and pump a lightweight, flowable foam concrete under your timber floored home. Specially adapted for our New Zealand conditions and applications it provides a layer of protection against rising moisture. An unexpected benefit that the team at Canterbury Foam Concrete have noticed recently, is that many owners of properties which had underfloor foam concrete installed, reported that it also provided protection against liquefaction after the earthquakes. Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd now for your free, no obligation quote and complimentary appraisal of your underfloor ventilation needs. Phone 03 376 4608 or 0508FOAMCO for more information. 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.
