What is Hydronic Heating?
Since these systems operate in this manner it means these almost entirely silent heaters do not push around stale air using fans, and instead warm up the elements of a room, which is great news for those suffering from asthma and allergies.

Hydronic Heating in Melbourne?
1. Melbourne is well known for it’s high pollen count during the spring months of the year and Hydronic Heating is fantastic at heating your home without any of those pesky pollen traces being blown around your home and stirring up your allergies.
2. The bitterly cold winter mornings. The winter time in Melbourne can bring some very, very chilly mornings and days, especially when the sun doesn’t come out. The efficiency and silence of hydronic heating systems means you can schedule your system to turn on before you wake up without waking up your whole household. There is nothing more comfortable than waking up to an comfortably heated home on a cold winter’s morning.
3. The cost of living and house prices are already high enough in Melbourne, why not save money on your bills by switching to a Hydronic Heating system and reducing your running costs of your existing gas ducted heater by 20-25%.
Hydronic Wall Radiator Panels
One highly popular option for customers is our Towel Rail Panels that come in the option of white or chrome finish. These panels not only heat up the cold bathroom on those freezing winter mornings, but also dry your towel and have it ready to engulf you in beautiful warmth after your shower.
Each room throughout the premises has it’s own thermostat to control the individual temperature of that particular room. With automatic timers you can pre-set the time and temperature you would like your heaters to operate at.
With only 10-15 minutes for the water in your heater to reach the desired temperature, you’ll be enjoying the heavenly warmth in your room in only 25-30 minutes.
Mercury Heating & Cooling are one of the most trusted Hydronic Heating installation companies in Melbourne. To find out more about Hydronic Heating Radiator Panel Installation, call us today on 1300 13 53 43.
Hydronic Floor Installations
In Slab Hydronic Heating
This particular system takes an extended amount of time to reach its intended temperature as it is working to heat the entire concrete slab. For this reason this type of flooring is highly recommended for those that live in a colder climate where you would experience prolonged periods of cold. The general intent is to keep this heating system on the entire winter period, and simply turn down the warmth when needed.
This type of product would be perfect for a Melbourne Winter, but may not be as efficient during the Autumn and Spring months where the temperatures can change from freezing to boiling in the same day.
Whilst you can control your heating by selecting zones, such as the front or back of the house to receive heat, it is not as agile as other options, where you can determine the heat of a specific room since it’s aim is to heat the entire slab.
In Screed Hydronic Heating
This type of hydronic heater does not take quite as long as ‘in slate’ to reach it’s intended temperature, and as a result is a preferred option for those who live in areas where the weather is less predictable like Melbourne.
Since this option is not in the concrete itself, you can install it to control individual rooms and sections of your house.
Both floor options must be selected during the initial planning and building phases of your home, as it is dependent on Mercury being able to work with your construction team and contractors.
Hydronic Power Flush
Hydronic Heating systems recycle the same water around the system so it is important to maintain clean water as rust/oxidization can create problems with both water flow and inside the internals of the Boiler that can result in shortened lifespan or costly boiler repairs. For best Hydronic Heating performance you should have your system serviced regularly, every 2-3 years. We can easily test the water to determine if a power flush is required to ensure that your system is running smoothly and to avoid bigger problems further down the line. Below are images of our Power Flush Machine at the start and end of the Power Flush. It is easy to see the contaminants in the water that are extracted by the special detergents and magnetic filters.
Any time there is a new boiler installed onto an existing system (panels or slab) we strongly recommend a Power Flush to ensure clean water in the system and new boiler.
If you think your system may need a service or power flush then contact Mercury Heating & Cooling on 1300 13 53 43 or submit an enquiry online here.
