Why Central Heating?

Central heating is a method of providing warmth from one central source to the complete interior of a building. More than half the world enjoys the comfort of whole home heating and now is increasingly being sought by New Zealanders.

Differing from localized heating, with Central Heating the generation of heat occurs in one place and this is not necessarily the "geometric" central point. The most common heat source is through the combustion of fuel in a furnace or boiler, the resultant heat is then distributed- typically by forced air through ductwork, or by water circulated through pipes.

Warm water (hydronic) central heating is the preferred system of home heating across two-thirds of the developed world.

These systems consistently and efficiently deliver heat to the whole house and are both environmentally-friendly and easy to control.
