To prevent illness and create a comfortable, healthy environment, the World Health Organisation recommends homes are at least 18C, or higher for more vulnerable groups like children, the elderly and people who are unwell.

The right heating for a home depends on how the home and each room is used, as well as room sizes, insulation, building construction, region, and available energy sources.
-
To maintain temperatures of 18C or more, most homes need fixed and appropriately-sized heating for living areas and radiant heaters for bedrooms. Full home solutions such as central heating and ducted heat pumps are increasingly popular.
Good insulation makes homes easier and cheaper to heat, as it keeps heat inside where it's needed. Best practice is to insulate before you heat.

A heat pump is an air conditioning unit that can reverse itself to generate heat, which not all air conditioners can do. In hot countries, air conditioners are more popular, but the ability to both heat and cool means heat pumps are much more popular in NZ.
-
A ducted heat pump is a system that uses air ducts in your roof space or underfloor to warm or cool multiple rooms at the same time. They are increasingly popular as whole-home heating systems because they allow homeowners to control the heating in specific rooms, and their small vents are also a more discrete option.
