Hydronic heating, unlike other forms of heating in Melbourne, does not have any vents. This means heat is radiated, rather than blown.
A series of pipes in the home are heated to around 70 degrees. This heated water is pumped to each room of the house that has a radiator wall panel. The hot water heats the steel radiator wall panels. As a result, this is what heats the room. Overall, 85% of this heat is radiant heat.
Most hydronic heaters use gas boilers to heat the water. This includes Sime, Baxi and Bosch boilers. The boilers can achieve up to 95% effiency ratings.
