Wellington's timber villa homes benefit from underfloor insulation before installing UFH — insulating the subfloor dramatically reduces running costs

EECA (Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority) guidance recommends heat pump-powered hydronic UFH for whole-house heating in Wellington's climate zone
