Heating standard
- 난방 기준
Landlords must provide one or more fixed heaters that can directly heat the main living room. The heater(s) must be acceptable types, and must meet the minimum heating capacity required for your main living room.
- 집주인은 한개 또는 한개 이상의 고정된 난방기기(히터)을 거실에 제공해야 합니다. 난방기기는 받아들일 수 있는 제품을 사용해야하고 거실의 최소 난방 용량 기준에 맞아야 합니다.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a minimum indoor temperature of 18˚C. By installing heating that can reach this temperature on the coldest days of the year, tenants will be able to keep warm all year round.
- 국제보건기구 WHO는 실내온도의 하한(下限)을 18도로 설정하는 것이 좋다고 하고 있습니다.
To find out the heating capacity required for a main living room, landlords need to use the Heating Assessment Tool or the formula outlined in the regulations.
- 거실에 맞는 적합한 난방기기를 확인하려면, 집주인은 아래의 Heating Assessment Tool을 사용하거나 Healthy Homes Standard Regulations을 확인해야 합니다.

What is the heating standard?
- 난방 기준이 무엇인가요?
There must be one or more fixed heaters that can directly heat the main living room.
The main living room is the largest room that is used for general, everyday living – for example a lounge, family room or dining room.
Heater(s) must be fixed (not portable), and must be at least 1.5 kW in heating capacity and meet the minimum heating capacity needed for the main living room. This capacity can be calculated using the Heating Assessment Tool or the formula outlined in the regulations.
Heater(s) must not be an open fire or an unflued combustion heater, e.g. portable LPG bottle heaters. If you use a heat pump or an electric heater as part of your solution to meet the healthy homes heating standard, it must have a thermostat. You can’t use an electric heater (except a heat pump) if the required heating capacity for the main living room is over 2.4 kW, unless you’re ‘topping up’ existing qualifying heating that was installed before 1 July 2019.
In most cases, the acceptable types of heater(s) will be a larger fixed heating device like a heat pump, wood burner, pellet burner or flued gas heater. In some cases, e.g. small apartments, a smaller fixed electric heater may be enough. For more information about different heating options visit the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority website.

How to find out what size heater(s) you need
- 기준에맞는 히터를 어떻게 알아봐야하는지
You can use our online heating assessment tool to help calculate the minimum heating capacity required for heaters in your rental property.
The tool provides a report that sets out the minimum heating capacity required for each property. You can use it to check if your current heating is sufficient to meet the healthy homes standard, or if you need to install one or more new heaters. The report can also help prove a rental home meets the heating requirements in the healthy homes standards.
If you have a complex room layout, or you’re not sure what figures to include, we recommend asking a professional for advice.

If you have existing heating
- 기존에 사용하던 난방시설이 있는 경우
You don't need to add more heating if you have one or more existing heaters that:
were installed before 1 July 2019
each have a heating capacity greater than 2.4kW
meet the requirements in the standards (for example, not an open fire or an unflued combustion heater)
are not electric heaters (heat pumps are acceptable) if the required heating capacity for the main living room is over 2.4 kW, and
have a total heating capacity that's at least 90% of what you need to meet the required heating capacity.
If an existing heater is a woodburner, it will likely have a label stating the heat output. Landlords can also check the manufacturer's information or council records for information on the heat output of their woodburner.
Central heating will meet the standard as long as:
it provides heat directly to the living room (e.g. through vents, ducts or radiators)
it meets the required heating capacity.
Top up existing heating
If you’re adding a new heater or heaters to a room with existing heating, each heater must meet the requirements in the healthy homes standards, with one exception. If your existing heating doesn’t have the required heating capacity, you can add a smaller fixed electric heater to ‘top up’ your heating. If you do, you must meet all these conditions:
you installed your existing heating before 1 July 2019
the required heating capacity is more than 2.4 kW
the ‘top up’ you need is 1.5 kW or less.
For example, if you have a heat pump with a heating capacity of 3.3 kW, but you need a total heating capacity of 4.5 kW, you can add a fixed 1.5 kW electric heater with a thermostat to meet the standard.
Exemptions to the heating standard
There are specific exemptions to the heating standard. The exemptions are:
where it is not reasonably practicable to install one or more qualifying heating devices.
where the rental property is a certified passive building.
It is not reasonably practicable to install heating devices if a professional installer can’t access the area without:
carrying out substantial building work, or
causing substantial damage to the property, or
creating greater risks to a person’s health and safety than is normally acceptable, or
it is otherwise not reasonably practicable for a professional installer to carry out the work.
These are in addition to the general exemptions.
