The level of comfort has to be experienced to believe. I will never go back to any other type of heating. It's not expensive to run, and our power bills have been very acceptable. Do it once, do it right and you will never regret it.
The product is amazing - our house sits at 20 degrees all day in winter with no heat pump on and everything works well. The guys at Warmth are friendly and know their stuff.
From the first communication to order, advice and technical support during insulation and fabulous follow up support, the Warmth.nz team have been nothing but exemplary. We installed the heat pump hot water system and heat pump heated concrete floor. The best investment in creating a healthy, economical run home we have ever made.
Installing a hot water and underfloor heating system with the warmth team, have been stellar to deal with and went beyond the call of duty to repair an accidental hole another contractor put in one of the pipes. Could have been a messy finger pointing exercise but really impressed that they just got in there and got it sorted. Looking forward to next winter!
“We love our underfloor heating. It is very economical to use and gives the whole house a magnificent feeling of warmth and comfort. We have found it has become more efficient to run as the slab dries and we set the controls to take advantage of natural heating gains. The installation and service of the system was easy and the team were great to work with”.

We used warmth.nz underfloor heating in NZ's 1st 10 Homestar rated home. This system and the way it was integrated into the design and utilising other complimentary technologies was the biggest breakthrough in energy efficiency we have experienced in any project. We have installed similar systems by warmth.nz in almost all our BBA designs since. It is a dual system for both hot water and underfloor heating with a super efficient hot water heat pump powered by PV solar panels. The floor slab is fully insulated and effectively acts like a battery as it provides storage of solar-generated thermal energy.
The system is working well and saves a lot of $$$. It’s so warm in the whole house, and you don’t have to worry about Turn on/off when you away from home to holiday for days.
"It has now been two years since we moved into our new home, after only having Hi walls and Ducted heating systems in the past I am very impressed at the increased level of comfort we have with a heated floor. Combining that with the hot water heat pump our power bill is a lot lower than I expected. Nearly half what our friends pay, and our entire home is warm all the time. We found Warmth’s quote was a lot less than their competitors making in floor heating an affordable option for us, they offered less control which I was a little nervous about, however testing over the last two years has found you just don’t need it. Our whole house is warm and comfortable all the time. Thanks Warmth.NZ, we recommend you to any one building a new home."
"warmth.nz is a great team offering good quality product and excellent service. As an architect I can say that support in creating a unique solution for always unique design is very important. In architecture things are never a repeat solution and need to be designed specifically for requirements, however the experience in combination with theory is the necessary combination that warmth.nz is happily offering, sharing and this very much resonates with my personal believe in importance of sharing the knowledge and experience. "
Follow up - just got the the underfloor hooked up after waiting a year to see if we needed it as our house is near passive house standard. While the air temp was fine the concrete floor was a bit cool for comfort over the winter months. The underfloor heating makes a huge difference. Thanks again to the Warmth team!
