Hydronic heating is a radiant heating method for floors that uses hot water as the heating medium. In this form of hydronic floor heating Melbourne homeowners will have hot water heated in boilers that is then allowed to pass through a network of pipes that are installed below the floors of a home.
Water for hydronic heating can use oil fired boilers, gas fired boilers or even solar heaters. The heating that this system gives is extremely comfortable as it will allow you to walk bare feet on the heated floors. It is not necessary for the water to be boiling and temperatures of even 20 degrees Centigrade may be adequate to heat up a home. This low temperature, in turn, leads to a lot of savings of energy and makes solar heating a very viable solution. The heating that results is uniform, and there will never be any cold pockets in a room.
