Ducted heating systems

This cost effective, gas-fired method of heating your entire home consists of a central heating unit connected to a series of air outlets distributed throughout your house. Enjoy the benefits of an even temperature when moving from room to room within your home. Warm air is evenly and cleanly distributed and you control the temperature with a simple thermostat.

Ducts can be installed either in the ceiling void or underfloor, depending on space availability and house structure.

Central underfloor hydronic heating

This underfloor option, especially worth considering when building a new home, consists of an underfloor pipe network which circulates hot water throughout the house. We can work in conjunction with your builders or developers to install the pipes as part of the floor structure, so you can forget about installation and simply move in to a new, warm and comfortable living environment.

In an existing home, space considerations and installation costs could limit the suitability of this system.

Main advantages are:

Even flow -absence of hot spots, draughts and cold areas, typical of high intensity local heat sources
Cost saving - the system heats space from the ground up, without wasting unnecessary energy warming higher levels first
Child friendly - there are no potentially dangerous hot surfaces
Healthy - inhibits the growth of house dust mites
Zero maintenance - pipes are corrosion-free for the life of the home

Hydronic heating systems

An hydronic system is a network of hot water circulating either through radiators and towel rails or through under-floor pipes. A diesel or gas-fired boiler heats water and then pumps it through the pipework system to the radiators or the other heating outlets.

Why radiators?

Warm air is circulated gently as opposed to a fan driven heating, reducing dust and pollen
No moving parts allow a quiet operation and low maintenance
Temperature control
Variety of models and colours to match any environment
The highly efficient boiler uses natural gas, which is the lowest cost commercial fuel available. Together with the low maintenance costs, this makes hydronic heat very economical over the life of the system. Alternative fuels are available upon request.

Another concept in hydronic heating is the use of the domestic hot water as a primary heating source. This saves in installation costs for the average size home.

A significant advantage that this option presents is the opportunity to combine heating with hot water provisions. The heating source can be connected to a ring main providing hot water via smaller branch pipes to all taps and heating units. If the outlet is not a tap, water will pass through the device and return to the water heater for reheating. Contact us to discuss GreenHeat products or find out about other options available.
