Hydronic Heating

Experts in All Hydronic Heating System Services

At Metropolitan Heating and Cooling, we’re proud to be installation specialists in hydronic heating systems.

Whether you're after a new system or need expert servicing, we’ve got the knowledge and experience to deliver results. Hydronic heating is one of the most efficient ways to achieve comfortable in home heating, using natural convection and radiant warmth rather than exposed flames or forced air.

Our systems use a reliable heat source – such as a boiler or heat pump – to warm water to just below boiling point. This hot water flows through a completely sealed network of pipes, delivering even heat with minimal energy waste and lower carbon emissions. With no moving air and discreet electrical connections, it’s a quiet, low-maintenance option.

From underfloor heating to radiator panels, we customise solutions to suit your lifestyle. Trust our team for safe, efficient hydronic heating services that bring long-term comfort to your home.

How Does Hydronic Heating Work?

As its name suggests, hydronic heating is a system that provides natural radiant heat. It works by heating water in a natural gas-powered boiler before transporting it through a series of sealed pipes to wall-mounted panel radiators.

The heated water is continuously recirculated through the system to prevent wastage. Hydronic systems are one of the most popular heating solutions in Europe and North America because of their efficiency and effectiveness. It is a cost-effective form of heating that's now becoming popular on the Australian market.

An alternative to wall-mounted radiator panels is the underfloor heating system option. This involves installing floor coils underneath the flooring.

Heated water then moves through the piping and can be installed under all types of flooring such as tiles, timber, suspended or even concrete floors.

Underfloor heating systems are a popular option in particular when renovating bathrooms because it means no more cold tiles when hopping out of the shower in winter!

Benefits of Hydronic Heating Systems

Hydronic heating offers numerous benefits. Among them are:

1. Environmentally friendly: Compared to ducted heating, hydronic radiant heating uses far less energy and reduces your carbon footprint.
2. Reduce airborne allergens: Many systems that circulate air to heat, such as split systems and ducted heating, require servicing to ensure dust and airborne particles are kept to a minimum. If you want to limit the chances of these by-products, hydronic heating systems offer a perfect solution.
3. Cost-effective to run: Regarding the question of "Is hydronic heating expensive?", the reduction in energy use will likely reflect in lower running costs. You also have the added economic benefit of low maintenance costs, as well as the ability to heat selected rooms rather than the whole home.
4. Safer for your family: The potential risks associated with wood fires, or electrical heater elements are eliminated, which is particularly important when small children are present.
5. Is hydronic heating safe from all faults? No, any kind of HVAC system can malfunction, but hydronic heating systems are very reliable and will lead to improved air quality along with effective warming.

Hydronic Heating Installation

Looking to efficiently heat your home? Metropolitan Heating and Cooling are your trusted experts in hydronic heating installation. We're available to install hydronic heating 24/7.

This system works by using hydronic boilers or a heat pump to heat water, which is then circulated through a series of pipes and heat emitters like radiators, underfloor coils, or even heated towel rails. The result is gentle, consistent warmth through thermal radiation – without the need for noisy forced air circulation.

Whether you opt for a traditional system or a condensing boiler with a built-in heat exchanger, hydronic heating is a safe, clean and efficient form of home heating. You can even choose hydronic heating to zone different areas of your home, making it more flexible and energy efficient.

From compact apartments to large homes, we tailor solutions to match your needs. Let us help you enjoy cosy comfort with the latest in hydronic technology. It is warm air comfort you can feel, without the noise.
