How hydronic heating warms your home

Hydronic heating creates radiant warmth using an underfloor or radiator setup rather than distributing heated air through ducts. It offers a different approach to home heating, with the system designed around how heat will be delivered throughout your living spaces.

What to consider with hydronic heating

A hydronic heating system needs to suit both your home and how you want warmth delivered. Consider the heating method, property layout and installation requirements beforehand.

Underfloor or radiator heating

Hydronic heat can be delivered through an underfloor system or radiators. The right approach depends on your property, project and preferred heating setup.
Planning

New build or existing home

Planning hydronic heating during a new build can differ from adding it to an existing home. The property and scope of work will shape the installation.

How you want to heat your home

Think about where you want radiant heat and how the spaces are used. This can help determine the most suitable hydronic heating configuration for your home.

The figures above are Trimech own estimates, based on patterns we've observed across our internal job records tagged to Hydronic heating jobs - not an independent industry study. Parts required will vary by cause and property.

What does hydronic heating cost?

Hydronic heating costs depend on the heat source, home size and whether you choose radiators or underfloor heating. Installation can range from around $12,000 to $60,000+ for a complete system.

What does radiator heating cost?

Radiator systems can be easier to incorporate into existing homes than underfloor heating. Current estimates put whole-home radiator systems at around $12,000–$30,000, while retrofit pricing can be roughly $1,300–$1,600 per radiator, depending on the project.

  • Whole-home radiator systems can cost around $12,000–$30,000 installed.
  • Retrofit radiators may cost roughly $1,300–$1,600 each, including installation.
  • Larger rooms may need more heating capacity, increasing the overall system cost.
  • Retrofitting an existing home can involve additional labour and pipework.

What does underfloor heating cost?

Hydronic underfloor heating is generally a larger investment, particularly when the heat source is included. Current estimates put hydronic in-slab installation at around $90 per m² and in-screed installation at about $115 per m², excluding the boiler or heat pump.

  • Hydronic in-slab heating can cost around $90 per m² before the heat source.
  • Hydronic in-screed heating can cost around $115 per m² before the heat source.
  • A 200 m² system with a heat pump may reach roughly $30,000–$55,000+.
  • Home size, zoning and the chosen heat source can all affect the final price.

Frequently asked questions

From heat sources to underfloor and radiator setups, hydronic heating comes with plenty to consider. Here are answers to common questions about these systems.

Can hydronic heating use a heat pump?

Yes. Hydronic systems can be designed with a heat pump as the heat source, while other systems may use a boiler. The right setup depends on the system design and heating needs.

Can I combine radiators and underfloor heating?

Hydronic systems can be designed with different heat emitters, including underfloor heating and radiators. Whether they can be combined effectively depends on the overall system design.

Does hydronic heating work under timber floors?

Hydronic underfloor heating can be used with some timber flooring, but the floor construction and manufacturer requirements need to be considered when designing the system.

Do hydronic radiators get hot to the touch?

Radiator temperatures vary depending on the system and operating settings. Their placement and use should therefore be considered carefully when planning hydronic heating for the home.

Can hydronic heating include heated towel rails?

Some hydronic systems can incorporate compatible heated towel rails, allowing them to provide bathroom warmth while forming part of the wider hydronic heating setup.
