We partner with many Kiwi farmers who produce our beef, including those at the world-class Whangara Farms.

"Bucket List! I'd never photographed the wandering albatross previously. Today I photographed a few. The adult here is the smaller of the two birds, and is apparently 35. The younger albatross is around 18 years old. Totally thrilled with this pic, as we had a big swell out there today."

Anyone can make a home that is inviting and relaxing after a long cold day.
Choose a warm paint colour: Explore the colour wheel - Notice that yellows, oranges and reds are on the warm side so utilising those colours will simulate a cosier, warmer mood. Blue and purples are on the cool side so they will simulate the opposite mood.
Warm lighting: Group lighting by using task and ambience lighting and a mixture of table and floor lamps. Warm coloured bulbs throw out a softer light and give a room a cosy feel.
TIP: Having your lights on separate switches means you can control how bright/dim a space will be.
Add pot plants: Any living element contributes to a cosy and inviting feel. Plants in baskets are not only on-trend, but they also generate more oxygen inside your home too.
TIP: Group pots together using different shapes and heights to make a focal point.
Carpet, rugs and textiles: Tiles are great but can be chilly underfoot in the cooler months. Carpets insulate, soften and warm up a room and New Zealand wool carpets are environmentally friendly with a sustainable fibre, plus naturally flame retardant.
Don’t discount rugs even if you have carpets. Make sure you choose a rug that works with your existing carpet. Placing a rug between yourself and the floor instantly guarantees a warmer atmosphere. Rugs are also incredibly good at tying a space together.
TIP: Garage carpet reforms the space from a cold concrete feel to a soft warm space too!

Ethos Energy is proud to lead the way in fresh air ventilation for domestic, commercial and education facilities using Mitsubishi Electric Balanced Pressure Lossnay Heat Recovery Ventilation Systems.
The 4 Functions of the Lossnay Core
The Balanced Pressure Lossnay Heat Recovery Ventilation System removes stale, dirty air and draws in fresh air from outside. Lossnay also recovers heat energy from the air being transferred to pre-warm (or pre-cool) the fresh air being drawn into your home. Lossnay is ideal for small to large-sized homes between 52m2 and 400m2.
The stale air extracted from your home is Return Air (RA). Return Air can contain high levels of CO2, odours and other pollutants. This Return Airstream also contains heat energy that Lossnay can recover, which is not the case with positive pressure ventilation systems.
As the stale Return Air is removed, the Lossnay Core ‘recovers’ the useful heat energy from it. The air is then exhausted (EA) outside, along with the unwanted pollutants.
Outdoor Air (OA) is introduced to provide fresh air. It is first filtered and then passed through the Lossnay Core. This allows it be pre-heated in winter (or pre-cooled in summer) using the energy recovered from the Return Air.
Supply Air (SA) then enters your house as fresh pre-heated or pre-cooled air.
If you would like to more information, please contact James.
