COST TO RUN
Central heating and air conditioning are the largest energy consumers in the home and for this reason running costs will be a major consideration when choosing a heating system.
Regardless of fuel, hydronic systems will be cheaper to run than a ducted heating system because of the principal of operation.
For an identical application a hydronic system will be approximately 20% cheaper to run. Further saving of up to 40% to 50% may be made where unused areas are able to be completely isolated.
A hydronic heating system will operate without detriment in one room only in a multi room installation.
Solar heating systems have been operating in Melbourne for over 20 years and recent developments have exciting implications for hydronic heating. Only hydronic heating can readily use solar technology to dramatically reduce running costs. Ask us for further information on the future of solar heating.
