My first winter here, i thought I had moved to a third world country, I couldn't beleive the idea of living in a country that has cold winters and surviving with no insulation, double glazing and central heating. We live in Central Wellington and thankfully don't get too much in the way of cold days, no frost to speak of, but still. Our house is 4 years old, but still has no heating and only single pane windows, but it has an elctric garage door, and modern kitchen, someones priorities were round the wrong way i think when it was built.
Don't get me wriong i love NZ but it's not a hot country we need heating!!!
BTW we use oil filled radiators and a big duvet to heat our house, and if there are power cuts we shall just move under the duvet and cook on the camp gas stove

We live in a little house though so it doesn't take much heating. When we build our new house we'll definitely have a heat pump. I do love having a fire - always had one when I was growing up - but think a heat pump will be much easier
