Dynamic Heating and Cooling are now able to install hydronic heating systems in Melbourne using new technology and designs from Europe. In the following paragraphs, Dynamic Heating and Cooling discuss the benefits of hydronic heating as opposed to ducted heating.
Asthma Friendly: Australia has one of the highest incidences in the world for asthma - over 1 in 8 people suffer from this chronic condition. While the cause of asthma remains unknown, certain things can trigger the inflammation in the airways that bring on asthma symptoms. Among the most common triggers are airborne dust particles. A healthy indoor environment with a low allergen level can prevent inflammation and swelling in the airways from developing in the first place. Asthma and allergy sufferers are likely to benefit from a heating system that does not blow dust into the air. Steel panel radiators and convectors have been the preferred choice of consultants and engineers for heating in the health industry. Panel radiators and natural convectors have a fast heat up/cool down cycle and are acknowledged by medical authorities for their ability to provide controllable heat without transference of airborne bacteria. Authorities on asthma recommend hydronic heating for asthma and allergy sufferers.
Comfortable: During milder winters, it can be difficult to really warm up a building, unless the heater is turned on as high as it will go. This is because conventional heating relies on warming the air, therefore draughts and cold spots are common, along with cold hands and feet. Hydronic heat is comfortable than scorched air as it is quieter than forced air heating and can be zoned to meet the temperature requirement for each room in the house. Comfort relies on radiant heat transfer as much as air temperature.
Environmentally Friendly: Hydronic heating uses less energy than conventional forced air heating therefore producing fewer carbon emissions. Hydronic heating is used exclusively in new buildings in the most ecologically advanced countries in the world.
A Healthier Option: Conventional forced-air heating produces dust, air contaminants, bacteria and low humidity – all precursors to poor health, particularly in asthma and allergy sufferers. One may experience dried out, irritated feeling in the nose and throat with conventional heating. Hydronic heating does not use air vents to circulate air and is a cleaner and healthier way to keep people warm and cosy.
