The heat rom a traditional heater,

woodburner, gas ireplace, electric

heater or heat pump is released

directly into the room where the

appliance is installed. In open-plan

houses this heat can spread somewhat

throughout the open area.

Thats unlikely in houses with separate

rooms: the heat source can overheat

the room where its installed and the

rest o the house remains cold.

A heat-transer kit with insulated

ducting can help even out

temperatures but the house is

unlikely to become uniormly warm.

CetralheatigWhole-house heatingKiwi homes are too oten small islands o

heat among a sea o cold air.

Heating:The heat source iscommonly called a boiler and

it heats either air or ducted

distribution or water or hydronic

systems. Dierent models burn gas,

diesel, logs or wood pellets. Others

use a heat pump. You need to check

with at least two heating companies

to determine which type is best or

your locality.

Distribtion:Once the airor water is heated it needs to be

distributed to where the heats

required. This is done by inslated

dcting or hot-air systems or

inslated pipes or hydronic. The

house can usually be divided into

several heating zones that can be

heated at dierent times and to

dierent temperatures.

Releasing:Ducted systemshave outlet grills that deliver

heated air directly to the rooms.

Hydronic systems release their

heat either through nderfloor

heating (the hot water is piped

through pipes buried in a concrete

loor slab) or radiators (where the

hot water is piped to wall-mounted

radiators). Radiator hydronic heating

can be retroitted into many homes

because the connecting pipes can

be run under timber loors, inside

walls and over ceilings.

Cetral Heatig 15Cetral Heatig14

Central heating works by separating

the place where the heat is generated

rom where its released. There are

two common systems: ducted hot air

and piped hot water (hydronic).

A central-heating system has three

major components:

a heat sorce thats located ina convenient place (away rom

where the heats required)

a distribution system that

transers and distribtes the heat

a means o releasing the heat

where its required.

A control sste monitors and

controls the overall system.

Electricitycomes rom a combination o renewable and

non-renewable sources so its only a semi-clean uel. But

nothing is cleaner in your home.

Firewoodis one o the ew sustainable carbon-neutral

home-heating options. But to get the most heat (and the

least pollution), it must be burned hot and in a specially

designed irebox. The irewood must also be dry and the

pieces not too big.

Natural gas is clean-burning, but its a ossil uel. Burning

it adds the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide to the

environment.

LPG is clean-burning like natural gas but adds carbon

dioxide to the environment.

Wood pellets are manuactured rom 100 percent wood

waste and burn cleanly so theyre really clean and green.

Dieselis now low-sulphur and relatively pollutant-ree.

But its a non-sustainable ossil uel and adds to carbon

Heat pumps are large space heaters they heat air.

They can also provide summer cooling. You can set

them to come on and o automatically.

Because heat pumps use a an to distribute the

warmed air, the heating spreads more evenly than

most other space heaters (such as a woodburner).

Smaller versions (up to 4kW) are designed or a single

room like a bedroom, with larger units (up to 10kW)

suitable or large open-plan areas.

HeatpumpsThe power o threeHeat pumps are one o the

cheapest heating options to run

once theyre installed. The better

models produce at least three

times the heat or the power they

use. They can be retroitted

but they must be the right

capacity or the house and

installed properly.

HOW THEYWORKHeat pumps work

by taking heat rom

the air outside your

house and bringing

it indoors. Its like

a rerigerator in

to cool the outside

Tips

But whats best?Fa or covectio? Oililled or radiat?

Covectio heaters are designed to provide

background warmth. They warm the air, which

rises and circulates around the room by natural

convection. Heaters with ans provide aster

warm-up and more even heating. The most

popular type o convection heater is the upright

oil-illed column heater. Skirting-board style panel

heaters are also convection heaters.

Portable a heaters sit on the loor and blast

warm air directly at you. That moving air heats

the room evenly. Fan heaters are great or quickly

heating a room, but the an noise can become

annoying.

Radiat heaters with their glowing electricelements provide quick directional heat to a small

area o a room and also give some convection

heating. Radiant heaters are more suited to older,

draughtier homes or rooms with high ceilings.
