Warmup is committed to cutting back NZ's asthma rate

Warmup is committed to cutting back on the asthma rate in New Zealand

Asthma is a growing concern worldwide but, unfortunately, New Zealand has one of the highest rates of respiratory illnesses in the world. Statistics show that approximately 70-80% of asthma in New Zealand is associated with allergies, many of which are linked to a high moisture content in our homes. Moulds, fungi and dust mites – all major respiratory illness triggers – thrive in damp conditions.

But it’s not all doom and gloom. We are able to change these statistics by cutting back on the moisture content in our homes to create a dry, warm and healthy living environment. Warmup underfloor heating does just that! Warmup’s radiant under floor heating system is recognised as one of the most effective and energy efficient solutions for heating the home.

Heating from the ground up ensures an even distribution of radiant heat where required, as opposed to heat pumps which emit heat towards the ceiling, heating the head rather than the entire body. By installing a Warmup underfloor heating system in your home you surround yourself with clean air and luxurious warmth, eliminate dampness and minimize draughts and condensation. Radiant heating is recommended by health professionals, especially for Asthma sufferers.

Warmup is committed to cutting back on the asthma rate in New Zealand by providing a high quality product that will keep your home warm and dry during those chilly, wet, winter months. To this end, Warmup underfloor heating holds the “Sensitive Choice” seal of approval from the Asthma and Respiratory Foundation NZ. Warmup is proud of this appraisal and proud to be the only Partner in the underfloor heating category that has been approved.

Contact Warmup on 0800 WARMUP (927 687) for any enquiries.
