Climate change and the dwindling supply of fossil fuels has become a pressing issue for anyone that is conscious of our environment. New Zealand has a great international image of being a clean and environmentally friendly country and has the objective of becoming carbon neutral in electrical energy by 2025. It is now a prerequisite for New Zealand builders and architects to create property that has better insulation and is more energy efficient, this need for energy efficiency has increased the demand for economical and efficient methods of heating a property.

One of the best and least intrusive methods of heating a property is by using underfloor heating. New Zealand’s leading supplier of radiant underfloor heating, Warmup (www.warmup.co.nz) are at the forefront of producing environmentally friendly heating methods, as highlighted by the recent introduction of their Future Proof Building Partnership.

Warmup’s underfloor heating systems reflect the heat upwards and are designed to heat the property not the earth, also allowing individual ‘zoning’ whereby room temperature can be individually adjusted to suit individuals needs, allowing one to focus the energy exactly where it is needed.

Warmup’s radiant heat technology has recently been featured on CNN’s top rated show ‘Open House’ where they discussed the virtues of radiant heat and the fact that its global popularity is booming due to the energy efficiency and ability to incorporate the systems without detrimentally effecting the aesthetics of a property.

Warmup has undertaken over 1,000,000 installations in 33 countries worldwide and has distributors throughout New Zealand. Warmup have been established in New Zealand since 1994, during that time they have helped to ‘warm up’ in excess of 50,000 Kiwi homes.
