After leaving the farm in Southland where the home owners previously had radiators with a diesel boiler, the home owners decided to move to Christchurch to be closer to family. The house at the time had some electric underfloor heating and a gas fire in the living room. In 2023 renovations started with the electric underfloor heating decommissioned and radiators, a Chofu heat pump and hot water cylinder installed. February this year more renovations were done including a state of the art kitchen and living area with some of the radiators that were installed last year removed and painted to blend with the new colours of the walls.
