Melbourne's Hydronic Heating Specialists
We design and install heat pump hydronic heating systems for Melbourne homes — efficient radiant warmth through underfloor pipes or elegant panel radiators, powered by electricity instead of gas.
What We Do
From new builds to existing homes, we handle every aspect of hydronic heat pump design and installation.
Hydronic pipes embedded in your floor slab or screed, delivering gentle radiant heat from the ground up. The most comfortable and invisible heating system available — ideal for new builds and renovations with open concrete.
Sleek, low-profile hydronic radiator panels mounted on walls throughout your home. An elegant retrofit solution for established Melbourne homes — no structural work required, and far more efficient than electric alternatives.
Already have a gas hydronic system? We swap out your gas boiler for a modern heat pump, keeping all your existing pipework, radiators and thermostats. You get the same warmth with dramatically lower running costs and no gas connection required.
Bringing modern heat pump hydronic heating to established homes is our specialty. We assess your home's construction, insulation, and layout to design the most practical and cost-effective system — whether panel radiators, a screed overlay, or a hybrid approach.
Heat only the rooms you're using, when you're using them. Our zoned hydronic systems with smart thermostats let you set different temperatures in different areas of your home, reducing waste and maximising comfort exactly where you need it.
Not sure which system suits your home? We provide detailed assessments and heat loss calculations to specify the right heat pump size, emitter type, and zone layout. We design systems that will be efficient and comfortable for the life of your home.
The Technology
A heat pump doesn't burn fuel to create heat — it moves heat that already exists in the outside air into your home, using electricity as the motive power.
The heat pump's outdoor unit absorbs thermal energy from the outside air — even when temperatures drop to -10°C. A refrigerant fluid captures this energy.
A compressor concentrates that energy, raising the refrigerant temperature significantly. This heat is transferred to your home's water circuit through a heat exchanger.
Heated water flows quietly through your home's hydronic circuit — through underfloor pipes or wall-mounted radiator panels — radiating gentle, even warmth.
For every 1 kW of electricity consumed, a heat pump delivers 3–4 kW of heating — a coefficient of performance (COP) impossible with direct electric or gas combustion.
Why Choose Heat Pump Hydronic
Heat pump hydronic systems typically cut heating bills by 50–70% compared to a gas boiler running at equivalent comfort levels.
Heat pumps produce no carbon monoxide, no emissions at point of use, and no need for a gas connection — eliminating both the safety risk and the daily supply charge.
Radiant hydronic heat warms surfaces, objects and people — not just air. The result is even, draught-free warmth that's far more pleasant than forced-air systems.
With gas networks being wound back across Victoria, converting now locks in your independence and positions your home for the clean energy future — and higher resale appeal.
Hydronic systems are silent in operation — no fans blowing, no clicking ducts. Heat pumps have fewer moving parts than gas boilers and require minimal servicing.
Run your heat pump off your rooftop solar and your heating cost approaches zero. The combination of solar PV and heat pump hydronic is the gold standard for Melbourne homes.

Enquire About Your AreaCommon Questions
Yes — this is one of our most common projects. If you already have a gas hydronic system with radiator panels or underfloor pipes, we can replace just the boiler with a heat pump unit. Your existing pipework, radiators and thermostats typically remain in place. The process is relatively straightforward and can usually be completed in a day or two.
Absolutely. Modern air-source heat pumps are designed to operate efficiently down to -15°C or below. Melbourne rarely drops below 5°C overnight, which is well within the comfortable operating range of quality heat pump systems. We size systems specifically for your home's heat loss to ensure adequate output on the coldest days.
It depends on your floors. If you have a concrete slab, we can core-drill and install pipework, though this is more involved. For timber floors, an overlay screed system is possible in some cases. The most practical retrofit option for most existing homes with timber floors is hydronic radiator panels — they're highly effective, far less disruptive, and pair beautifully with a heat pump.
Yes. The Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program currently offers financial incentives for replacing gas appliances with efficient electric alternatives, which can include heat pump heating systems. Federal and state government rebate programs are subject to change — we'll advise you on what's currently available at the time of your installation.
Modern residential heat pumps are very quiet — typically 45–55 dB at one metre, similar to a conversation or background music. We carefully plan the placement of the outdoor unit with noise and aesthetics in mind, including council setback requirements and neighbouring properties. Indoors, the system is silent — there are no fans or air handlers inside your home.
A gas-to-heat-pump changeover (keeping existing radiators) typically takes 1–2 days. A new radiator panel installation depends on the number of rooms but is usually 3–5 days. New underfloor slab or screed systems are longer — typically done during the building or renovation phase. We'll give you a detailed timeline as part of your quote.
