Can’t say enough about what a great job that’s been done, from the first phone call to the last audit, everyone has been so professional friendly and efficient, not to mention how warm our house is now
THANK YOU!!!
The team at Awarua Synergy were amazing right from the start when I rung the receptionist to the final check. The guys who put the insulation in were kind, polite and explained everything, they were also great with my kids!
Since having our home insulated it has been way warmer only needing the fire on low. This year we might have a hospital free year.
We decided to insulate our home mainly for our daughter’s health but also for our home to be warm during the winter. We think in the end this will save the government money as our daughter was ending up in hospital almost every 2nd week (admitted for a week) So with our home being insulated it will be a warmer environment for her and her visits to the hospital will be less frequent. So thank you to the government and Awarua Synergy
My husband and I own a 1920’s villa that has been extensively renovated. The house is open plan with varnished floors and carpets. There is a huge space in the ceiling and all walls have been gibbed. We had minimum insulation before applying to Bluff Healthy Homes. To heat the house prior to the insulation we used a Yunca Wedg wood burner, gas heaters x 2, oil heaters x 2 in the bedrooms and a night store heater in the hallway. The average temperature was 10-12 degrees and single digits before the fire was lit and heaters turned on.
We are now into our second winter and the benefits have been astounding. Our heating bill has decreased by approx 30%, we no longer use oil or gas heaters and the wood consumption has reduced by approx 40%. In spite of installing a heat pump which heats the bedrooms, hallway and living area the electricity costs are very reasonable. The temperature is now 14 – 16 degrees before the heat pump is activated and the fire lit, reaching and maintaining 19 – 24 degrees. The most amazing aspect of the insulation is the lack of draft especially at floor level.
Two of my sons who live in Invercargill have had their homes insulated, also through Bluff Healthy Homes. The difference to their houses was instant, draft free and warm. One son in particular commented on his 3 daughter’s (aged 12 months to 7 years before the installation) constantly coughing and sniffling due to what he believed was the invariable cool temperature and dampness in the house. He installed a DVS system approx 3 months before applying to Bluff Healthy Homes. During this time their home was certainly not as warm as it is now and from my observations my mokopuna’s health has improved significantly.
My husband and I were initially reluctant about the installation due to what we considered a high cost. We now however would not be without it, the products have increased the value of our house and over time has saved us money by decreasing our heating costs.

Very professional people. All my questions we answered. The installation team were very lovely and polite young men.
It was such a pleasure to have two very understanding gentlemen, doing such a neat and tidy job carried out in the most professional way. The warmth in our home now is fantastic, I would highly recommend to all.
On behalf of the Bluff community Medical trust I am writing to sincerely thank you for the installation, the Awarua Synergy installed at the medical centre. We are very grateful for the deduction in fees you provided for this. I am sure that during the colder months the centre will benefit from this.
Thank you Awarua Synergy for sorting the hot water system in my home. My hot water is only a third of what it used to be, wish I had done it sooner.
Very polite and friendly team. Worked very well and with the time allowed superb service. Followed up with an inspection and kept us well informed. (Highly recommend!)
I am taking the time to write and tell you what a wonderful project this is and how grateful we are that we took the opportunity to go ahead with the insulation of our home. We cannot get over how warm the is – we have a concrete block home with tile roof and wooden floor. The insulation is now maintaining the house temperature at around 16- 18* on a regular basis no matter what the temperature is outside. We do not have to keep out fire going all day and only a limited amount of time at night as it just gets too hot. We have been recommending this to all. Congratulations on a wonderful product/system.
The current average rate of increase in electricity prices is 8.5%
Un-flued gas heaters create 1 litre of moisture per hour

Drying clothes inside creates 5 litres of moisture per day
Hot water heating is 38% of household energy use
Space heating is 36% of household energy use
Damp air causes respiratory problems
NZ homes are expensive to run, we spent approx $250m on inadequate heating
Warmer drier homes = fewer hospital admissions
Insulation makes your home warmer, drier and healthier….and it lasts for generations
Opening windows 20 minutes per day exchanges air making home easier to heat
Insulating a home is an investment for future generations who live in the house
Cold homes contribute to 1600 extra deaths in NZ per year
Cleaning mould with white vinegar kills it
Damp air is harder to heat
The recommended temperature for living rooms is 18-22 degrees
Every $1 spent on insulation equates to a $5-$7 return in health and energy benefits.
NZ has one of the highest rates of asthma in the OEDC that’s 1 in 4 children, costing us about $4 billion per year
At 3% inflation, household energy bills are set to double again in the next 20 years
