There’s no better feeling than a warm home in winter. To keep it that way, you will need a home-heating system that maintains the temperature and minimises your energy costs. One option is hydronic heating.
Increasingly popular in Australia for residential and commercial applications alike, a hydronic heating system offers a wide range of benefits. Increased sustainability and low noise levels are the perks of installing a hydronic heating system. You can install it in new or existing homes with little disruption.
Why hydronic heating systems?
Hydronic heating systems utilise hot water to heat a room or building. Water is generally heated in a boiler and pumped through piping to radiators and convector panels around the home. Subsequently, the heat is transferred directly to the underfloor slabs. All you need to do is choose the correct number of panels. The most common fuel for the boiler is natural gas, followed by the next most economical option – wood.
What to consider when choosing hydronic heating systems?
The key points to consider include the location of the system and the areas that require heating. One common location to consider is right below the windows. This will maximise insulation and provide a barrier to cold air entry. Keep in mind that it is often more economical to heat rooms in use than to heat the whole house. In addition, choosing the correct size system is critical to efficiently heating an area.What are the advantages of hydronic heating systems?
Hydronic heating systems have been used for over a century and offer numerous advantages, including stylish, safe and comfortable heating. The individual adjustment of heating panels is also an economical feature that results in clean and silent operation. On top of that, these systems are energy efficient and easy to maintain.
