I realized today, that I had forgotten what it is like to sit inside a house, in the middle of winter and actually be warm!
When we lived in UK we had central heating, double glazing, excellent insulation etc and just took it for granted that after being outside wrapped up in coat scarf gloves and as many jumpers as could possibly fit underneath, we would enter the house, strip off the layers and be warm. It's just how it was!
When we moved to NZ and were looking for a house the real estate agent looked at us as if we were aliens when we used words like double glazing, radiators, even heating! So, we resigned ourselves to the fact that this was just how it was. Beautiful long hot sunny days in summer, so you must put up with the cold penetrating every atom of your being for 3 months or so during winter.
We have had a small fan heater which blasted out an impressive amount of heat,while it was on, then the whole room cooled down as soon as it was off. At the same time we could practically see the dollars flying out of the window every time we turned it on.
So when I heard about the new
LHZ Radiant Heaters, my ears pricked up, this was something I could relate to and easily get very attached to! I am not one to run in eyes closed, so I did some research on oil filled heaters, electric heaters, gas heaters, heat pumps...the list goes on, but time and time again it came out that this would be the most economical to run, plus it didn't hurt that it has that familiar comforting 'radiator' look, but slimmed down and streamlined. As we already have the HRV system in place, that will continually spread the heat around the house.
I was sold, it was love at first sight. So my new LHZ heater arrived yesterday, and I can honestly say it was worth every single cent!
Here she is, isn't she gorgeous?!
Signing off for now, sitting snug and cosy in my lounge! :)
