MODERN VENTILATION SYSTEMS
These are not usually heating systems, unless those add-ons are included, but may help heat your home through replacing moisture-filled atmosphere. Modern construction seeks to seal a home to increase energy efficiency which means you may need to have a system installed. “Heat Recovery Ventilation” refers to having warm, stale air being removed and replaced with fresh. This aids energy efficiency but works better when it’s already warm, which is just when you don’t want more heat.

Lawyers are in gravy and ratepayers are getting a stuffing as Lower Hutt councillors rack up big bills to settle disputes over such vital questions as whether a roast chicken buffet counts as "lavish".
Have a read and let us know - are these fees and these disputes reasonable? Why or why not? Comments may be used in print unless stated otherwise with NFP (Not For Print)

Enjoy our heating option number 4!
HEAT PUMPS AND AIR CONDITIONING
Correct sizing is crucial for long-term trouble-free and economical running of your heat pump. If it is too small in capacity (kW), it may be cheaper to buy initially, but it will struggle to heat the area, resulting in the unit having to work much harder, making it less economical to run, and dying early. Options run to wall units, floor units, ceiling units or fully ducted – choose the most suitable for your space and house design. You don’t need a building consent to add a heat pump to your home but this must be installed by a qualified installer.

Our Mayor Ray Wallace says about the decision by GWRC: "no chances should ever be taken when it comes to drinking water quality.
“No one wants a repeat of the Havelock North experience. Public safety has always been our number one priority, and we must continue to listen to the experts who tell us that a combination of chlorination and UV treatment for our network is the best long-term approach.
“It’s fantastic that we’re also able to offer an un-chlorinated solution in Lower Hutt for those that prefer it at the Buick Street and Dowse Square fountains. These fountains are now both open and treated with a UV filter and filtration. At the flow-rate of water from the fountains, the UV and filtration provides effective barriers against possible contaminants and means the water complies with the Drinking Water Standards of New Zealand.While it is sad that this has happened and investigations have not found a single root cause, it is something we must accept and I am confident that the best possible solution has been found for our city.”

This follows the Buick Street public fountain reopening in June. Thanks for your patience while we installed the filtration and UV unit at Dowse Square. This system will treat the artesian water before it comes out of the tap.
At the flow-rate of water from the public fountain, the filters and the UV unit will provide effective barriers against contaminants such as giardia, cryptosporidium, campylobacter and E.coli. It also complies with the Drinking Water Standards of New Zealand, and will be monitored regularly with oversight from Regional Public Health.
Remember to make sure that your storage containers are clean before collecting your water!
You can also find out more about the filtration and UV treatment at our public fountains on the Wellington Water website, just scroll to the bottom of the page and click on 'No chlorine at public fountains' www.wellingtonwater.co.nz...
