How to stay warm and dry
Kiwi homes contain hidden health
dangers. Yet first aid for unhealthy
homes needn’t cost a fortune. It can
make a home more saleable as well as a
healthier place to live.
Many older homes are cold and damp
and sometimes have other hazards such
as lead-based paint and asbestos.
There are a number of steps to take to
make your home more healthy.
They include behavioural change,
the cheapest way to make your home
healthier is to open windows to ventilate.
If you’re out a lot, but want to increase
natural ventilation buy some security
window stays or locks that allow you to
leave windows slightly open when you’re
out. This can be a lot cheaper to buy and
run than high-tech systems.
If nothing else, insulate the ceiling and
under the house. The Energy Efficiency
and Conservation Authority (EECA) has
information on its website about funding
grants available through the Warm Up
New Zealand campaign.
By 1 July 2019 all rental properties
must have ceiling and underfloor
insulation Ventilation systems move
moisture from the air making the home
healthier and feel warmer.
Adding a sheet of heavy polythene
beneath a home can provide an efficient
moisture barrier beneath piled homes.
A heat pump will warm and ventilate
rooms in the winter and cool them in the
summer. Watch out for hard sell in this
market though and shop around before
buying heating or ventilation systems.
EECA suggests a number of different
options for secondary glazing, which is
cheaper than retrofitting double glazing.
Alternatives include DIY window
insulation, aluminium framed secondary
glazing on the inside of the existing
glazing, or acrylic sheets attached
internally.
The latest technology is Low-E films,
which are stuck to existing windows.
This can reduce heat loss by 42 per cent
says Chris Olson, general manager of
ThermafilmNZ.
Healthy homes aren’t just about
insulation and moisture removal.
Using fewer toxic chemicals can make
your home healthier to live in. Parents of
young children sometimes worry about
exposure to chemicals as do asthma
sufferers. As a result some buyers will
also be impressed.
Dust mites can make a home
unhealthy to live in. Use a hepa filter on
your vacuum cleaner or at least vacuum
more often and empty the bag between
cleans.
Decluttering as well reduces the places
that dust can build up.
Mould spores can be very bad for your
lungs. If mould builds up anywhere
in your house clean it off as soon as
possible. If this is an ongoing problem
consider ways to reduce the humidity.
If your home was built before the 1980s
watch out for lead paint and asbestos.
Both should be removed by an expert.
