Gentle, even radiant warmth that is quiet, clean and energy-efficient through winter.
Hydronic heating warms your home with hot water circulated through panels or in-slab pipes. It is quiet, draught-free and gentle on allergies, with even comfort from room to room. We can advise whether it suits your home and design a system around it.
Hydronic heating warms water and circulates it through panels or through the floor, rather than blowing hot air around. It is quiet, it does not move dust, and the warmth is even at floor level instead of collecting at the ceiling. It is also the system that most rewards being designed properly.
In slab is the most comfortable and the slowest to respond, so it suits homes that hold a steady temperature. Panels respond much faster and are far easier to retrofit into an existing house.
Panels take somewhere around half an hour to an hour to make a room comfortable. In slab is measured in hours, which is why it is usually left running at a steady temperature rather than switched on and off.
Panel systems can usually be retrofitted. The practical question is the pipe routes, which is what we assess on site before quoting.
Running cost depends on the boiler and how well the system is zoned. A well zoned system heating only the rooms in use is where the efficiency actually comes from.
The Victorian Energy Upgrades program pays households to replace an old gas heater with an efficient reverse cycle system, which cools all summer and heats all winter from the one unit. We work out what your home qualifies for, handle every bit of the paperwork, and take the rebate straight off the price you pay. There is nothing for you to claim back later.
"We have had Efficient Air install 4 Hisense reverse cycle units over the last 12 months. Each time had been a trouble free experience. Jason and Kelly have been great to deal with. The installation crews have been on time and completed their work without fuss."
"The team at Efficient Air are so professional and thorough with their work. A massive thank you to Peter who came out to our place to advise us of the best possible options with various quotes and Tom who did a fantastic job installing our new multi split system."
"I have always had a great experience when needing services and products from Efficient Air. I have had split systems and radiators from them and the service has been very good. The split system keeps us cool in summer and warm in winter which is what we need right now in Melbourne!"
