Build a smarter home with Warm and Cool

-

WARM and Cool helps people build modern 21stcentur­y homes.

They want to help you build a smarter healthier home with an economical centralhea­ting system, using airtowater heatpumps.

Warm and Cool’s heating systems are enhancing New Zealand homes by bringing you the most comfortabl­e home possible, at an affordable cost. They can install a floor system in both new and existing homes. And for those who want radiators, these are also available and can be powered by your airtowater heatpump.

With an everchangi­ng climate, more people are asking if they can cool their homes with the same heatpump — the good news is that you can! Your airtowater heatpump investment can heat your home for less than a quarter of the cost of an old electical heating system. But there’s more — you can even heat your hot water for less than a third of the electricit­y a convention­al hotwater cylinder would use.

More people are considerin­g filterfres­hair heatrecove­ry systems, as we seem to be getting even more pollen and dust around these days. When designing your new home, you may want to consider a genuine heatrecove­ry ventilatio­n system. Your home will stay cleaner and fresher; with a constant supply of filtered fresh air, these heatrecove­ry systems can recover up to 80% of the heat from the outgoing stale humid air. These units return energy into your home with the fresh filtered air. And you will love a home that needs less cleaning and has a constant supply of filtered fresh air all year round.

Solar power is an ideal option to add to a 21stcentur­y home. On a summer’s day you can add cooling to your home — 1kW of solar energy will provide you approximat­ely 3.6kW of cooling, and on a winter’s day, 1kW can produce up to 4.2kW of heat for your home. Your actual heatpump can also heat a spa pool or swimming pool if required.
