Items Requiring Attention
Moisture Ingress & Drainage
Are there any blockages or obstructions in the gutters? Yes
Reason: Vegetation growing in gutters at front of house
Ventilation/ Open Plan Kitchen/Dining/Lounge 1
Does the room have an extractor fan? No
Reason: All kitchens must have an extractor fan. The fan and all exhaust ducting must either have a
diameter of at least 150mm OR the fan and all exhaust ducting must have an exhaust capacity of at least 50
litres per second. The fan must vent extracted air to outdoors.
Heating
Is the combined total heating capacity at least 90% of what is required? No
Reason: As the top up required in this case is less than 1.5kW and the property has been assessed as
meeting the other requirements, this property can meet the heating standard by installing a fixed wall
electric heater.

Moisture Ingress & Drainage
Gutters
What were the weather conditions during the inspection? Fine
The functionality of guttering, downpipes and drainage can be difficult to visually assess during dry weather
or light rain. Checking the system visually from ground level during times of moderate rain can be helpful, or
alternatively, speak to tenants to see if they have observed any issues during wet weather. You can also
seek professional assistance from a suitably qualified building surveyor members of the New Zealand
Institute of Building Surveyors (NZIBS), or Building Officials Institute of New Zealand (BOINZ), or a licensed
building practitioner (plumber/drainlayer or builder).

Based on the Healthy Homes Heating Standard what is the required kW of heating for the room?
5.0
Existing Heating
What rooms make up the main living area?
Foyer 1, Open Plan Kitchen/Dining/Lounge 1, Sunroom 1
Does the living room have existing heating? Yes
Is the combined total heating capacity at least 90% of what is required? No
Is the required additional heating less than 1.5kW? Yes
If you are adding a new heater to a room with existing heating, each heater must meet the
general requirements for heaters. There is one exception, which is that you can add a smaller fixed electric
heater to ‘top up’ your existing heating if you meet all of the following conditions:
• you installed your existing heating before 1 July 2019
• each of your existing heaters meets the general requirements and is not an electric heater (except for a
heat pump)
• the required heating capacity is more than 2.4 kW
• the ‘top up’ you need is 1.5 kW or less.
For example, if you have a heat pump that was installed before 1 July 2019 with a heating capacity of 3.3
kW, but you need a total heating capacity of 4.5 kW, you can add a 1.5 kW electric heater to meet the
standard.
All heating devices must be 1.5kW or greater so any ‘top-up’ electric heating must also be at least 1.5kW.

Installing new heating devices
When choosing new heating you can meet the heating standard by providing one or multiple heaters in the
living room. Remember that:
• each heater must be located in the living room or provide heat directly to the living room e.g. through a
duct or vent
• each heater must be fixed to the home
• each heater must have a heating capacity of at least 1.5kW
• heaters must have a combined total heating capacity of at least the required heating capacity for the
living room, as determined by following the methods specified by the regulations (see Working out the
required minimum heating capacity on page 6)
• if the heater is an electric heater or heat pump, the heater must have a thermostat
• the heater must not be an open fire, unflued gas heater or other form of unflued combustion heater
• if the required heating capacity is more than 2.4kW, the heater must not be an electric heater (except heat
pump), unless it is used to top up an existing heater that was installed before 1 July 2019 (see Special rules
for existing heating on previous page).
You may also want to consider other things such as the upfront cost, running costs and the environmental
impacts of the different options. For information on the pros and cons of different heating options see EECA’s
Energywise website.
Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for any heating appliances carefully – including any
requirements for maintenance (such as cleaning the flue). Deviations from these recommendations may void
any warranty as well as negatively impact the performance and safety of the appliance and the building. It
could also put your insurance coverage at risk
