Winter in Christchurch is a time for cosy evenings, and there’s nothing quite like the warmth of a wood fire. But what if that wood fire could do more than just heat your living room? What if it could also provide you with a reliable, cost-effective, and eco-friendly way to heat your home’s water? That’s where Wetbacks Masport in Christchurch, expertly installed by Superior Heating, come in. This comprehensive guide will explore the benefits of Masport wetbacks, why they are the perfect heating solution for Christchurch homes, and how Superior Heating provides the expertise and quality products to keep you warm all winter long.

Why Choose Masport Wetbacks for Your Christchurch Home?

For generations, Masport has been a trusted name in New Zealand home heating. Their wood fires are renowned for their durability, efficiency, and timeless design. When you add a Masport wetback to your wood fire, you're not just getting a fire; you're getting a complete home heating solution.

A wetback is a simple yet ingenious device that is installed inside the firebox of your wood burner. As the fire burns, the wetback absorbs the excess heat that would otherwise be lost up the chimney. This heat is then transferred to a water cylinder, providing you with a constant supply of hot water for showers, washing dishes, and other household needs. This dual-purpose system is incredibly efficient and offers significant benefits for Christchurch homeowners:

• Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings: Christchurch has some of the coldest winters in New Zealand, and electricity bills can skyrocket as you try to keep your home warm. A Masport wetback significantly reduces your reliance on electric hot water cylinders. By harnessing the free heat from your wood fire, you can slash your power bills and enjoy hot water without the guilt of high energy consumption.

• Reliable Hot Water, Even in a Power Outage: In Canterbury, storms and unexpected power cuts can leave you in the cold. A wetback system continues to heat your water as long as your fire is burning, providing peace of mind that you’ll have a reliable hot water supply no matter what.

• Eco-Friendly Heating: Masport wetbacks use wood, a renewable fuel source, to heat water. By reducing your reliance on electricity generated from non-renewable sources, you are making a positive contribution to the environment. Masport is also at the forefront of developing ultra-low emission burners (ULEBs) that meet Canterbury’s strict air quality regulations, ensuring you’re heating your home responsibly.

• Durable and High-Performing: Masport wetbacks are built with heavy-duty steel construction to handle the intense heat of a wood fire, ensuring they are a long-lasting and reliable investment for your home.
