The Need for Modern Heating in Clyde Homes

Clyde has a distinct Central Otago climate, with hot summers and cold winters, with cool nights and the odd frost. Because of this, good heating in your home is vital. Many houses, especially older stone buildings and weatherboard bungalows, were built before modern heating was common.

Common heating issues in Clyde homes include:

Rooms that are always cold, and stay that way no matter how much the heating is on

Energy bills keep rising, but with little or no more warmth

Big differences in temperature between rooms

Heating systems are running all the time, but not getting to the temperature you want

These issues are usually caused by poor system design or installation, rather than by bad heating. A carefully planned air-to-water heat pump system can address these problems. Many homeowners in Clyde upgrade to air-to-water heat pump systems to replace inefficient wood burners, electric heaters, or older diesel and gas boilers.

How Air-to-Water Systems Give Consistent Warmth, All Year Round

Air-to-water heat pumps provide steady, low-temperature heating that flows well through your home. Unlike quick bursts of heat, these systems provide lasting warmth through radiators or underfloor heating. They are often referred to as central heating heat pumps or hydronic heating systems, because they circulate heated water through radiators or underfloor heating

When designed well, air-to-water heat pumps use much less power than conventional gas or diesel boilers and still keep your home cosy, even on Clyde’s coldest nights.

Highlander Heating is good at providing and installing air-to-water heat pumps made for Clyde and the many different types of houses in the area. Every system is carefully designed and installed to deliver reliable performance for years to come.

We designed and built our home in Dunedin in 20011. Coming from the UK we wanted full central heating with a radiator in every room but were wanting to install an “eco-friendly” system. We chose an imported European system with solar-heated stored water and a back-up hopper-fed pellet boiler and an “intelligent” controller. Unfortunately, after five years we looked for an alternative boiler because the pellet boiler was causing us problems: • wastage of pellets in the burn-down sequence due to the controller constantly calling for heat for a just few minutes and then not, typical of the Dunedin climate, but not cost effective. • buildup of tar in the burner box and flues due to resin in the pine pellets needing a weekly shut down and cleaning, not fun in the winter months. We decided we needed an alternative boiler. On recommendation we called on Neil Riddoch at Highlander Heating. Neil installed a Grant diesel oil boiler, oil storage tank, and replacement inner flue. I handled the DCC planning stuff, designed and built an interface between the Grant boiler and the “intelligent” controller, and helped with installing the oil storage tank. The whole process went smoothly, I enjoyed working with Neil who is a professional, knowledgeable, and experienced heating engineer. We now have a reliable and trouble-free central heating system supported by an annual inspection and service from Highlander Heating.

The Science of Air-to-Water Heat Pumps

Air-to-water heat pumps extract heat from the air outside and transfer it to water, which then heats your home. What makes them so good is that they release more heat than the electricity they use.

Good things for Clyde homes are:

They work well when it’s cold or there’s frost

Even cosy temperatures inside, getting rid of cold and hot places

They work with both standard radiators and modern underfloor heating

They operate quietly, making them ideal for residential areas

Good performance, even in long, cold weather, is guaranteed by getting the size right and having it professionally commissioned.

Common Questions About Heat Pump Installation in Arrowtown

Can air-to-water heat pumps work in older Clyde homes?

Yes, they will. Installing air-to-water heat pumps can really bring older houses up to date, comfort-wise, provided the planning includes the correct radiators or underfloor heating.

When they’re properly planned and put in, air-to-water heat pumps are one of the cheapest ways to heat a whole house in Central Otago, particularly if you compare them with oil or gas.

Will my existing radiators need to be replaced?

Not always. We look at the radiators you already have and only suggest changes if they’d improve how the system works overall.

Yes. Because they keep the temperature steady and run efficiently, lots of people find that their monthly heating costs go down.
