Ms Mosty-Toasty

... and goodbye to the ugly gas heaters

The new heating system has been installed for a few days now and it's just wonderful.

The whole house heats up within ten minutes of the system being switched on. Lovely!

Very impressed with Climate Control, they popped round yesterday to double check the installation and make sure that we were happy and answer any questions. Now that's good customer service!


The next tasks...
  • The old, ugly gas heaters have been removed and Mr Kiwi is fixing up where they were, which means adding skirting board, door frame, plasterboard, painting, etc. It's not particularly straightforward as there are so many different designs of skirting board and door frame throughout the house: matching them up will be a mission.

  • I'm trying to track down more attractive floor registers.

  • Insulation: there's some insulation in the ceiling already, but it could do with a top-up. And putting insulation underneath the floor boards will prevent a lot of drafts and heat loss too.
