If you have three open living area, 1. Living room (appx. 20 square m), 2. Open plant Kitchen (10 square m), 3 Dining area (10 square m).
Per Healthy Home Standards the Heating Standards only applies to "Main living" room and the definition of "main living" room is the largest living room if has more than 1 living room. But when you apply Online assessment tool via Tenancy.govt.nz, the tool treat all above three area (if can't be closed off by door) as one "main living area", so the total space needs to be heat up is 40 (20+10+10) m2 instead of 20 m2.
A standard heater (can be attached to the wall) from any retailer is around $150-200, it can heat up a room with 20 m2.
A heat pump will cost $2000 - can heat up a room with 40 m2.
Can someone share the wisdom here? Thanks.
