Page 1 of 1
After all advices, I think I am going to use hydronic heating for my house because allergies. Are there any advice who is the best installation for this system.
Thank you All.

My advice, do your research, speak to each company and gauge how you feel about them, inquire to the brands of equipment and research them. If you get a quote back that is anything less than comprehensive then you'd probably be best to walk and keep looking.

I short listed the final 2 companies and made my decision due to one actually answering my out of the norm questions.

Oh forgot to mention, if the opportunity presents itself, go visit a showroom. Some Hydronic installers even have working systems to give you a feel of what you would expect.
Freezing: Hydronic heating systems make use of piping to move hot water to radiators throughout your home. If the temperature drops and the pipes still have water in them, they can freeze and burst, which can require significant and costly repairs. However, this can be easily offset by properly insulating your pipes before the winter season occurs.

Single Purpose: Many forced air central heating systems operate as both furnaces and air conditioning units. Hydronic heating systems, usually in the form of boilers, cannot provide your home with cooling in the summer months, which means that you will have to have an air conditioning system installed in tandem with your hydronic heating system, an additional cost.

Thank you so much for your advice!
And metro Melbourne doesn't get down cold enough that we have issues with pipes bursting after a freeze over.


Sometimes it's better to take some advice with a grain of salt.
