Hydronic Panel Radiator heating is the most efficient and pleasant form of central heating.
It operates by re-circulating hot water through a sealed pipe system to radiators placed throughout the home. The hot water is heated by a super efficient gas fired boiler. It's as simple as that. No other heating system can deliver the quite, hygienic warmth of hydronics.

Hydronic Radiators
Conventionally a Hydronic Radiator Heating System requires a separate boiler to the one which provides hot water or drinking & general use.
The water from the Hydronic Heating boiler circulates into radiators that are placed in each room requiring heating throughout the house. The separate Domestic hot water boiler provides hot water for everyday use and consumption.
One of the many benefits that Hydronic Heating offers, is that each radiator can be individually controlled, providing ultimate comfort in each room. Living areas can be warmer than bedrooms.
Unused rooms can be switched off or kept at a lower temperature simply by turning a handle.
Hydronic Heating provides warmth in the same way nature does by natural convection and radiation. It does not dry out the air by burning or causing unpleasant draughts, hot spots or noise.
Hydronic Heating Benefits
No Dust, No Allergies
Dust and allergens are a big drawback with ducted heating systems, hydronic radiators work on natural radiant heat where there is no forced air circulation. Meaning no dust and no allergies.
Safe to Touch
All hydronic radiator panels are safe to touch with mild temperatures of water regulating at 65 degrees Celsius. Safe for children, the elderly and household pets.
Silent
One characteristic of Hydronic Heating that is a clear advantage over many other forms of heating is the fact that it is silent. No noisy space heaters or wall heaters with the constant blowing of air. Radiant warmth heats your home in peace and quiet.
Reliable
Hydronic Heating is effortless and reliable; simply set the thermostat upon installation and forget about it.
Maintenance is seldom required; the only working parts are the hot water boiler and the pump kit. High quality manufacturing with long term warranties ensure your system will provide reliable heat for many years to come.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a Hydronic Heating System compare to Ducted Heating?
Traditionally Hydronic Heating costs between 2-3 times that of ducted to install. This cost can be quickly recovered over time by using the system efficiently. Average of 2/3rds running cost compared to Ducted. The luxury of Hydronic heating must be experienced to feel the difference - no forced air means no dust mites and no asthma for your children.
Do Hydronic Radiators work under windows?
Yes, Hydronic Radiators are traditionally placed under windows to counteract heat loss and minimise wall space. Custom size radiators alleviate space restrictions giving you a wide scope on panel sizing meaning you have full choice on where to position panels. Even distribution of radiators throughout larger rooms is essential in radiating the heat evenly.
Can the Radiators be placed behind furniture?
Yes, however it will restrict the radiant warmth and will not be as effective around the room. Furniture placed directly in front of radiator panels will restrict circulation and affect the room heating.
Can Hydronic Radiators be Wall Hung?
Towel Rail panels for your bathroom, laundry, en suite and powder room can be wall hung.
Can solid fuel heaters be combined with a Hydronic Heating System?
Yes. Solid Fuel heaters can be incorporated into the Hydronic Heating System to provide extra environmentally friendly heat. Heating for an entire house will usually require a gas unit also as the wood heaters require a large amount of fuel to give out enough heat capacity to maintain an entire system.
What Does It Cost?
Hydronic Panel Radiator Heating systems can be installed to new homes or retro fitted to existing. The hi-efficiency gas fired boilers can support a system of up to 12 - 15 radiators. A system typically consists of 7- 8 panels in an average home.
An average 3 bedroom existing home with approx 7 - 8 radiators installed with good underfloor access would cost approx. $7,500 - $10,500 inclusive. A new home usually has easier access and would cost slightly less.

Vertical wall mount panel radiator
A wide range of Hydronic Panel Radiators are available. These units are plumbed in with hot water circulating when heating is required. Due to the lack of emissions the radiant heat created is clean and direct. The slimline radiators come in different styles and colours to match the decor of the house. Different widths of radiators determine the amount of heat projected into the room.
Slimline Bar Radiator - wide
A larger wide Panel Radiator such as this one is ideal for a family / living area and projects a grater amount of heat. For an extra large space two or three panels can be fitted in the same room. Due to the lack of emissions the radiant heat created is clean and direct. Styles and colours are available to match the decor of the house.
Slimline Bar Radiator
The location of Panels such as the above is tailored to suit the layout of the room. Ideally panels are placed under or near windows - as typically this is where the greatest amount of heat loss occurs. The units are plumbed in with hot water circulating when heating is required. Due to the lack of emissions the radiant heat created is clean and direct. Panel Radiators come in different styles and colours to match the decor of the house. Different widths of radiators determine the amount of heat projected into the room.
Slimline Panel Radiator mounted in Laundry Drying Cupboard
As the system is plumbed throughout the whole house it is ideal for incorporating extra uses such as clothes drying above. Other uses such as heated towel rails can also be included in the system. These operate at a fraction of the cost of traditional electric heating. Due to the lack of emissions the radiant heat created is clean and direct.
Slimline Bar Radiator - for the whole family
Due to the lack of emissions the radiant heat Hydronic Panel Radiators is clean and direct. This means no dust and low allergen - ideal for pets and children suffering from respiratory illnesses such as asthma. All hydronic radiator panels are safe to touch with mild temperatures of water regulating at 65 degrees celsius. Safe for children, the elderly and household pets. The whole family will thank you for it.
