Hydronic Heating
Ideal for those looking for energy-efficient air-to-water heat pump hydronic home heating solutions for their new home. By using renewable energy from the outside air to heat water, this installation offers greener, more energy-efficient home heating with the option to heat your hot water supply too.
What Is Hydronic Heating?
Hydronic heating uses hot water to heat your home and is one of the most efficient and versatile forms of heating. Also referred to as radiant heating, a hydronic heating system circulates heated water through sealed pipes to underfloor heating systems, trench convectors, panel radiators, or heated towel rails.
Thermostats may also be used to direct certain temperatures to different heating zones within the home and may be programmed to switch on and off at certain times of the day. Hydronic heating is believed to be one of the most comfortable forms of heating because it heats objects in the room, rather than the air. This results in an even and consistent distribution of non-drying heat, with no cold spots or fluctuations in temperature.
How Does Hydronic Heating Work?
Hydronic heating works by circulating heated water throughout the home via a sealed pipe network. The heat in the pipes then radiates into the room through wall-mounted radiators, convectors, or underfloor heating systems. The entire system is powered by a heat pump which heats water that is then piped through a closed loop system throughout the home.
Water is an excellent conductor of heat, which is why hydronic heating is so efficient. In a hydronic system, heat is transferred into the room via thermal radiation. Unlike other heating systems that use fans or vents to blow warm air around the room, hydronic heating heats objects through
Design And Installation
A typical hydronic heating system will generally include a number of components, including a heat pump, manifold, domestic hot water cylinder, piping, heating coils, water pump, and thermostats.
Each system needs to be designed specifically to suit the dwelling, and will depend on a number of factors, such as size, layout, aesthetics and desired output.
The Benefits Of Hydronic Heating?
A hydronic heating system is more energy efficient and more cost effective to run in comparison to other heating options, including ducted systems. While the initial installation cost for a hydronic system may be a higher investment than a ducted system, the ongoing running costs for hydronic are lower.
A hydronic heating solution will also be quieter, with no fans inside your home, just the radiant heat it provides.

Heat Pumps
The hot water heating system in your home can be responsible for up to 40% to 50%, or even more, of your monthly electricity bill, and we all know this is not a cost that will be getting any cheaper!
