Airtight, ventilated homes of quality, warmth and performance
What makes a
Warm House?
More than the materials and building methods used, a warm house is a beautiful, healthy home you can enjoy coming home to every day.
It’s the knowledge you’re leading the change and making better, healthier futures possible.
From the quietness that comes from triple-glazed windows to the quality fit-out, this is a home to love.
Rigorous attention to the air-tight membrane and taping ensures our homes are constructed to meet an ACH of <1.0. The lower the ACH (air changes per hour), the less energy required to keep the home at a comfortable temperature.
The Heatpump system is ducted to all living and bedrooms, the system utilises an Energy Recovery Ventilation system which exchanges energy from the outgoing stale air to the incoming fresh air. The system will recover 75% of the energy from the outgoing stale air. A ventilation system is essential when using airtight construction to prevent internal condensation.
A full suite of Miele kitchen appliances to meet the energy-efficiency standards of your home.
Warm house features
From triple-glazed windows and energy-efficient appliances to high-tech ducted ventilation systems and thermally-broken MaxRaft slabs, it all adds up to a more accessible way to achieve a beautiful, healthy home.
Warm House
Create a passive home that delivers minimal energy use and maximum comfort. Every home is built for high insulation, high ventilation, no air leakage and no thermal bridges.
Triple-Glazing
Sourced from a NK Windows in Christchurch we include triple-glazed uPVC windows for the highest standard of warmth and prevention of condensation and moisture.
Fixtures & Appliances
Offering affordability without compromising performance, our homes come with a range of fixtures and appliances to enhance energy efficiency and airtightness.
Insulation
Insulation in ceilings and walls and an insulated poly slab provide the highest levels of insulation top and bottom. Sound insulation within internal walls improves your living environment.

Your home is blower door tested to verify airtightness of 1ACH or better.
Quality & Care
Constructed by a team of qualified builders, experienced in airtight home building.
Why a Warm House?
Around 40 per cent of New Zealand’s greenhouse gas emissions come from energy use. Improving the energy efficiency and airtightness of our homes is one simple way to make a significant shift in this statistic.
Warm in winter, cool in summer and lower power bills all year round, a warm and dry home delivers countless benefits to people and planet.
Thermally-efficient homes draw on sun, position and airtightness to maintain internal temperature to greatly reduce energy consumption. High ventilation and fresh air circulation minimise the occurrence of damp and mould, ensuring better health for all those who live in the home.
Warm House Company brings together energy-efficient building materials and passive house design to give you a home of exceptional performance and quality.
