Underfloor Heating Tips for Canberra

Canberra has Australia's harshest winter climate — whole-house hydronic underfloor heating is a popular and cost-effective primary heating system in new builds

The ACT government's Sustainable Household Scheme may offer rebates for heat pump-powered hydronic systems — check current eligibility before specifying equipment

Canberra homes built on concrete slabs are ideal for hydronic underfloor heating — the slab provides excellent thermal mass that radiates heat long after the system cycles off

Electric underfloor heating in bathrooms and tiled areas is popular across all Canberra suburbs as a supplement to ducted or hydronic whole-house heating
