I was quite surprised at how small the panels were in our house. It turns out that based on Australian standards, the size of the panels is calculated taking into consideration various things (type and size of windows, insulation and of course size of rooms, etc) delivering 21 degrees for living spaces, 18 for bedrooms, 23 for bathrooms at 4.5 degrees outside temperature. So if anyone thinks they wouldn't be happy with this, make sure you specify this to your supplier. Re: Hydronic heating 17Sep 14, 2007 7:56 pm Hey guys, try Hurlcon P/L for your hydronic heating requirements.
They have hydrolic boilers that can be placed either inside or outside. They require a 3/4" gas connectin and have 1" flow & return connections. They also have electric boilers as well. They have the Therma-rad panel radiators in many different sizes all meeting int'l stds (incl ISO9002 & DIN) in high singles, high doubles and high triples 200 up to 900 0.22 kW up to 14.90kW. You can also connect the towel rails up to the boilers and they come in 500mm to 750mm in width and 764mm to 1750mmin height and 30mm deep. they come in chrome or white powder coated. They have hydronic trench heaters which are for living areas with patio doors or glass walls. My favourite though it the Rolled edge Thermaboard, which replace skirting boards and have a low surface temp so safe for kids. They come in single and double elements depending on your requirements and are std bond white powder coated. They are 200mm high by 75mm deep and have slits running along the top of them. They have outlets in all states, but if in Melb, contact the sales office in Scoresby @ 42 Rocco Drive, Ph. 9765-9700. IF they can't quote & install i'm sure that they can recommend someone. How do i know this, i'm looking at their catalogue (and friend works there). www.hurlcon.com.au Hope this helps, i think the skirting board option would be fantastic and doesn't take up precious wall space. Good Luck!!! Re: Hydronic heating 18Oct 31, 2007 10:36 am If anybody was wandering about actual performance, we are now in the house and on a couple of cold days the heating was working fabulously! Although 21 degrees is not really warm for me so had to rack the thermostat up.

Although 21 degrees is not really warm for me so had to rack the thermostat up. Shame on you Mek. You're supposed to do your bit for the environment and put up with 21 degrees. Only Matt is allowed to ramp it up to 28 degrees in winter.
