Choose hydronic underfloor heating for the best in safe and energy-efficient comfort.
Are you looking at building a new home, and want to ensure it’s going to be warm and comfortable all through winter? Hydronic heating has been a popular choice in Europe for generations and for good reason! Here are our top reasons why hydronic underfloor heating is a top choice for residents in the Adelaide Hills.
Comfort & Silence
It’s widely agreed hydronic heating is the most comfortable form of heating for your home. It creates uniform heat, with no cold spots or draughts, and it’s made for human comfort, with warmth from the feet up. There’s also a need for noisy fans or compressors.
Affordable & energy efficient
As we all know, heat rises, therefore heating from the ground up means the heat naturally flows around the room and will continue to warm the room for hours after the system is switched off.
Health and safety benefits
Unlike central heating, hydronic heating allows you to heat the home without forcing dust and allergens, making it much better for your health, and perfect for people who suffer from asthma and allergies.

Hydronic Floor Heating Frequently Asked Questions
Hydronic heating systems are installed within the concrete slab of a house and use the slab's thermal mass to radiate heat throughout the home. Heating from the bottom up is more effective since heat rises, creating a cozy environment. This is especially noticeable when moving around the home with bare feet or when sitting around.
Reverse cycle air conditioning systems and other conventional means of climate control generally work by trying to push heat from top to bottom, requiring more energy to achieve the same level of warmth. With hydronic heating, the slab and furniture absorb heat, maintaining a consistent ambient temperature for longer periods, which can result in lower energy costs if the system is used effectively. This method of heating homes also contributes to a healthier living environment by reducing air movement, minimising dust, and allergens, and benefiting individuals with asthma or allergies.
While new builds are the most popular candidates for hydronic underfloor heating, the system can also be retrofitted into a renovation. However, due to the complexity of the work involved, this usually incurs a larger overall cost.
The installation of a hydronic underfloor heating system usually takes between 2-3 days depending on the size of the house. In jobs with a larger scope, installing the initial pipework may take up to a week.
We do not advise using hydronic underfloor heating for a single room (for example, a bathroom). A better option, in this case, would be electric under-tile heating. Electric systems are easier to install and offer a better overall solution for small spaces, whereas hydronic heating should be understood as a central heating system.
Yes, hydronic underfloor heating should be inspected and serviced once a year. The service should include checking the water pressures within the system, ensuring the heat source is unobstructed and clear of dust, cobwebs, and bugs, and verifying that the electronics are in good condition. Additionally, it's important to ensure there is sufficient glycol in the system to replenish the anti-corrosive and antifreeze properties.
Generally, underfloor hydronic heating systems should last a lifetime. The only element in the system that may require replacement is the heat source itself. Generally, you should expect a system that runs for 15 years or more with no dramas, as long as it is serviced and maintained accordingly.
