HVAC solutions for easy living

While every home is unique, we have found there are similarities in the environments New Zealanders like to create and the comfort they seek to achieve. We work closely with clients right from the beginning to develop a design solution that truly embodies their vision. We engage with and work alongside architects, engineers, and builders to create and deliver technical HVAC solutions that maximise performance and efficiency and minimise financial and environmental burdens without compromising design.

We enjoy creating places and spaces that produce the ultimate comfort for our clients with energy-efficient designs that bring sustainability to the forefront. Our team is there every step of the way to safeguard this vision, oversee the process and ensure a delivery that surpasses expectations.

Ventilation integrated into architectural house in Mangawhai

Integrated HVAC design

When designing an air conditioning solution, we curate every detail to enhance its aesthetic appeal and ensure that form seamlessly meets function.

Our engineers seamlessly integrate the system into the architectural design, strategically positioning discreet vents and grilles to provide optimal airflow without disrupting the home’s clean lines. With zoning capabilities, the system offers personalised comfort. Whether the intimate warmth of a bedroom or the refreshing ambience of a living room is sought, each space benefits from a tailored microclimate.

Optimise your home ventilation

Home ventilation is a crucial part of building design when ensuring indoor air quality and comfort. We strategically design and place ventilation systems within the home to promote the exchange of indoor and outdoor air, effectively removing pollutants, reducing moisture levels, and regulating indoor temperatures.

Using fans and ducts to actively move air throughout the living spaces, systems can be designed for whole-house ventilation or targeted to specific areas such as kitchens and bathrooms. Balancing energy efficiency with ventilation effectiveness is a key consideration. Heat recovery ventilation (HRV) systems are designed to minimise heat loss while ensuring a continuous supply of fresh air. The system captures heat or humidity from outgoing air to incoming air, reducing the load on your heating or cooling systems.

Ultimately, a well-designed ventilation system contributes to a healthier indoor and more comfortable living environment, while promoting energy conservation and sustainable design practices.

Hydronic underfloor heating

With a complete level of comfort, hydronic underfloor heating transcends traditional heating methods. As warmth comes from below, the hydronic system is designed to circulate warm water through a network of pipes beneath the floor surface. Unlike conventional heating methods that rely on forced air, this ensures an even distribution of warmth across the entire floor, eliminating cold spots and creating a consistent thermal blanket throughout the living space.

The radiant heat not only warms the floor but gently rises to create a naturally cosy environment. The absence of drafts and silent operation of the system, coupled with temperature control allows for personalised comfort in every room.

Underfloor heating enhances comfort while maintaining an unobstructed aesthetic. With no visible heating elements, it offers greater freedom in interior design without sacrificing comfort.
