Wellington winters aren’t exactly known for their subtlety. The cold creeps in under doors, the wind finds every gap and the dampness? It’s practically a seasonal guest. But while we’re all focused on keeping warm, there’s another priority that matters just as much: keeping your home healthy so it can keep your family safe.
Here are five ways to boost your home’s winter health - and why ducted heating might be your family’s new best friend this season.
1. Start With Warmth: Install Ducted Heating
Ducted heating works by gently circulating warm air throughout your home, meaning every room, from the hallway to the back bedroom stays at a steady, comfortable temperature. No cold spots. No frozen toes. Just dry, even warmth from one end of the house to the other.

2. Don’t Let Moisture Move In
Showering. Cooking. Breathing. Every day we’re adding litres of moisture to the air without even realising it. And when that warm, moist air hits cold surfaces—hello, crying windows.
Trapped moisture is a fast track to mould, peeling paint, swollen woodwork and worse. That’s why controlling humidity is key to a healthy home in winter. Good heating helps. But so does proper ventilation, which is why Lossnay Heat Recovery is the solution to your problems.
5. Keep an Eye (and Nose) Out for Mould
If you’re noticing a musty smell, dark spots on the ceiling or that damp feeling in the air, don’t ignore it. Mould might be growing, and it’s more than just an eyesore.
It can trigger allergies, asthma and other respiratory issues - especially in kids or older family members. If you’re constantly battling mould, it’s a sign your home’s struggling with excess moisture and poor ventilation. A system like Lossnay can make a huge difference by removing damp air and bringing in fresh, dry air without losing heat.
At the end of the day, a warm, dry home isn’t just about comfort. It’s about safety, well-being and peace of mind.
