About AHHAC Sydney

Sydney's hydronic heating, cooling & hot water specialists.

AHHAC has been installing hydronic heating in Sydney since 1998 — across heritage terraces in Surry Hills, beach-side rebuilds on the Northern Beaches, architect-designed new builds on the North Shore and renovation projects from the Inner West out to the Hills District. Our Sydney showroom is in Punchbowl NSW 2196, with same-day stock of every major component and a direct line on 1300 76 53 39.

We design every Sydney hydronic heating system around the specific home — heat-loss calculation, zone plan, energy-source matchup, and a fixed-fee quote back within 24 hours of your enquiry. Sydney's mild winters and warm summers make the city a perfect fit for reversible heat pump hydronic heating systems that deliver both winter heating and chilled-water summer cooling from a single outdoor unit.

Sydney hydronic underfloor heating is our most popular install for new builds, with in-slab pipework laid before the pour. For renovations and retrofits we specify hydronic radiators — European panels, designer towel rails and cast-iron columns sized to each room's heat-loss.

Why Sydney homes choose AHHAC

Sydney has more hydronic installers than any other Australian city — but most are renovation plumbers running side jobs. AHHAC is a dedicated hydronic specialist with our own design team, full European parts inventory and a dedicated service department. We don't subcontract.

Every Sydney install carries our workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer cover, and we offer annual service contracts that keep the manufacturer warranty valid. We're authorised installers for Maxa, Immergas Magis, Viessmann and Sime — five manufacturer accreditations in total.

For Sydney homes pursuing all-electric or Net Zero certification, we pair hydronic heat pumps with rooftop solar PV to achieve near-zero net annual energy cost across heating, cooling and hot water. The hydronic distribution network has a 30+ year design life — only the outdoor unit needs replacement at the 12-15 year mark.

Common Sydney questions

Hydronic heating in Sydney — FAQ

How much does hydronic heating cost in Sydney?+
Typical Sydney hydronic heating install costs sit between $28,000 and $55,000 for a 200 m² home (heat pump + underfloor + thermostats), or $18,000-$32,000 for a radiator-based retrofit driven from a condensing gas boiler. Site visit and fixed-price quote are free — we send three options within 24 hours.
Do you install hydronic heating across all of Sydney?+
Yes — AHHAC services all Greater Sydney, including the Eastern Suburbs, North Shore, Northern Beaches, Inner West, Sutherland Shire, Hills District, Western Sydney and Macarthur region from our Punchbowl NSW showroom. We also cover the Blue Mountains, Wollongong, the Central Coast and Newcastle.
What's the most popular hydronic heating system in Sydney?+
For Sydney new builds: hydronic underfloor heating driven by an air-source heat pump (Maxa i-290 R290 or i-32V5 R32). The system reverses cycle in summer to deliver underfloor cooling — a single piece of plant for heating, cooling and hot water. For renovations: hydronic radiators driven by a condensing gas boiler (Sime Brava Slim or Viessmann Vitodens) — much simpler retrofit with no slab disruption.
How long does hydronic underfloor heating take to install in Sydney?+
For a new-build slab install: pipework goes down in one day before the pour, then the boiler/heat pump and manifold install over the following 1-2 days once the slab cures. For a renovation retrofit using radiators: typically 1-3 days total for a whole-home system. AHHAC will give you a fixed install timeline with the quote.
Do you service hydronic heat pumps in Sydney?+
Yes — AHHAC's Sydney service team handles annual servicing, repairs and priority call-outs for all major hydronic heat pump brands (Maxa, Immergas, Viessmann, Mitsubishi, Daikin, Bosch). Annual service contracts maintain manufacturer warranty validity. Call 1300 76 53 39.
Can hydronic heating work with my existing Sydney home?+
Almost always, yes. For homes without a slab, we use radiator panels or hydronic skirting (ThermaSkirt) instead of underfloor — both retrofit cleanly without major demolition. For older gas-boiler systems, the existing radiator/pipe network usually keeps running with a new heat pump or modern condensing boiler. AHHAC's design team will tell you what's possible at the site visit.
Is hydronic heating more efficient than ducted in Sydney?+
For running cost: yes — typically 25-40% lower than ducted reverse-cycle over a year, more if paired with solar PV. For comfort: significantly better — silent, even temperature, no air movement, no dust. The trade-off is up-front install cost and that ducted gets cooling for free, while hydronic cooling requires a reversible heat pump.
