Browse Forums Heating, Cooling & Insulation Re: Variotherm Wall Heating/Cooling 9Mar 09, 2018 8:16 am I am in Thornleigh/Normanhurst area. On a plateau. I am more a fan of radiated rather than convection heating and cooling, though. Multi-split system has to be ducted somehow? Otherwise, split blocks look a bit ugly on the walls. I am designing a passive house and looking for a cooling solution for the upper storey bedrooms, which I most likely will be able to use more likely just a few nights in a year. I planning to have just a ceiling fans on the ground floor, which has a big open area and can be open throughout. For heating (also, likely for just few days in a year), I am thinking of a nice looking gas fireplace with the ability to re-route heat into a couple of additional zones.

Re: Variotherm Wall Heating/Cooling 13May 15, 2018 7:27 am Hi guys, looks like the commentary has fizzled out on the Variotherm. Just joined the forum. I am an owner-builder at the sub-floor stage. Need to decide on heating for sub floor installation. I like the look of the Variotherm underfloor system. It is compact and looks easy to install and promotes a high efficiency rating. The big issue is availability. Importing the system would have its problems, especially if you under ordered!. On cost the $100 quoted by the OP, I think that might be a little short. Importing your own will provide a whole new series of consequences and port and dock fees! I have not been able to locate a supplier here in Australia. Any clues to that? I did stumble upon this Kiwi link, if they can do it....! http://www.advantageaustria.org/nz/oest ...
