Assessing Your
Home's Needs
Well-insulated homes with double or triple-glazed windows are easier and more cost-effective to heat, cool, and ventilate.
Older homes may benefit from additional insulation, particularly in the ceiling cavity, to improve efficiency.
Regardless of your home's age or condition, Controlled Comfort has a solution to enhance your living environment

The Importance
of Ventilation
While heating and cooling are crucial, proper ventilation is often overlooked.
Here's why it matters:
Most heating and cooling systems recirculate indoor air without introducing fresh air or removing stale air.
Daily activities like cooking, bathing, and even breathing produce moisture and contaminants.
• Well-sealed homes can trap moisture and pollutants, leading to mould growth and poor air quality.
Statistics New Zealand estimates that one in five New Zealand homes have unacceptably high moisture levels.
Proper ventilation is essential for maintaining a healthy living environment and reducing the risk of respiratory issues.

Ventilation Systems
Positive Pressure
vs.
Balanced Pressure
Positive Pressure Systems:
Whole-home climate control with a discreet appearance
Balanced Pressure Systems:
Extract fresh air from outside and introduce it into the home
Simultaneously remove stale air from inside and expel it outside
More effective in modern, well-sealed homes
Can incorporate heat recovery for improved efficiency
