Hydronic Cooling Systems
Radiant cooling uses cooled surfaces to remove heat by radiation and convection. Radiant systems that use water to cool the surfaces are called hydronic systems. Unlike air conditioning systems that circulate cooled air, hydronic cooling systems circulate cooled water in pipes incorporated into floors, ceilings, or walls. Using water to cool your home has some significant advantages over using air conditioning systems.

Australian Hydronic Heating and Cooling work with a German designed SorTech Chiller, which converts hot water into cool. The cooling process does not rely on electricity but operates mechanically, thus providing sustainable and cost effective energy.
Benefits of hydronic cooling systems
- Offer lower energy consumption than conventional cooling systems.
- Much of the energy savings is also attributed to the lower amount of energy required to pump water as opposed to distribute air with fans.
- Often cost less to install.
- Can be combined with a hydronic heating system to reduce costs further.
- Low maintenance costs and easy to upgrade.
- No circulation of dust, allergens or odour.
- No noise.
