A healthy home is cheaper to run

How was your home this Winter?  We all know a cold and damp home is unhealthy to live in, but many of us don’t appreciate that it can cost more to run too.

When it comes to keeping our homes warm through winter, there’s more to it than simply maintaining creature comforts. Cold or damp houses can have a major impact on health – something that’s received a lot of media coverage recently. At Smart Energy Solutions, we want to help make sure your house is comfortable throughout all seasons while saving you money on power.

As a guide, the World Health Organisation recommends our homes should have an indoor temperature of at least 18˚C or 21˚C if babies or elderly are living in the home. If you struggled this year to maintain a comfortable environment like this in your home, now’s a very good time to act.

For over 10 years we have been supplying and installing insulation, heat pumps, ventilation systems, solar, LED lighting and more into over 85,000 homes across NZ. Our goal is to make every NZ home healthier to live in and more energy efficient all year round so we’d love to help your home too. Register with us, and you may even win a $5000 Healthy Home Pack too in our prize draw.

Where to start to get a warm, healthy home with lower power bills

 Step 1: Insulate to keep the heat in

Put simply, insulating your home makes it easier and cheaper to heat. The government sees insulation as so important for home health, it has grants of 67% off insulation available for eligible home owners in many regions as part of the EECA’s Warmer Kiwi Homes programme2. Have a look here to find out if you home is eligible!

Step 2: Invest in energy efficient heating

After you’ve insulated to stop heat dispersing, a heat pump is among the most energy efficient and economical forms of home heating. There are also great options like WiFi programmable panel heaters perfect for smaller spaces such as bedrooms.

 Step 3: Ventilate to reduce damp

For a truly healthy home, you need to reduce the levels of moisture present. An effective home ventilation system will maintain air quality, reducing mould and mildew along the way which are major contributors to respiratory illnesses like asthma. Installing kitchen and bathroom extractors also reduces damp and long term damage to your home.
