Low maintenance. Low cost. Zero allergen. Invisible.
Underfloor heating is an impressive central heating solution for your home.
Typical Slab installation
Underfloor Slab Heating - How it works.
A high efficiency boiler heats water and circulates through a network of the highest quality multitherm PE -RT polyethylene pipe, laid in the floor slab. This is a low temperature system which keeps running costs to a minimum. Effectively, this system transforms your floor slab into a slow release heat radiator, heating every room equally with clean radiant heat.
Solar Hydronic Integration
Hydronic sub-floor heating has been designed to run in conjunction with solar. Solar Energy can be harnessed as a pre-heater to the hydronic heating system, further cutting running costs and gas consumption.
As the required temperature for underfloor heating is quite low (approx 30ø) this makes Hydronic slab heating ideal for integration with the gentle heat of a Solar Energy source. Rooftop solar panels collectors used in conjunction with gas boosted boiler makes the system incredibly energy efficient with almost the enrtire energy requirement being supplied by the solar component with very little boosting required. This is particularly viable in the Australian climate. The start up costs are higher, but as the system operates more efficiently the pay back period (3-5yrs) is significantly shorter that other solar power systems.
Low Maintenance
Little to no maintenance is required as the temperature is set at installation and then left. There are no moving parts within the slab structure hence the system is sealed. Product lifespan is indefinite with warranty for 20 or 30 years.
What does it Cost?
Radiant Hydronic heat used for slab heating is ban efficient and comfortable form of central heating. It has a lower required operating temperature than a panel radiator system hence is ideal for integration with Solar power source.
The cost of slab heating is usually around $60.00 per square metre all inclusive . There are additional costs for insulation around slab perimeters to minimise heat loss from edges of the building.
