Hydronic Heating: Common Requests & How We Can Help

Hydronic heating systems are efficient, comfortable, and quiet — but like any heating solution, they need attention from time to time. Whether you’re dealing with a faulty unit, planning an upgrade, or just want to keep your system in top shape, we’re here to help.

Below, we’ve broken down the most common hydronic heating service requests we handle, so you know exactly what support is available when you need it.

🔧 Heater Not Working?

Don’t panic — we can fix almost any problem your system may have. As a service-focused company, we always prioritise repair over replacement where it makes sense, and we carry spare parts for most commonly used brands on hand. Our goal is to get you back up and running on the first visit.

If we can’t resolve the issue right away, we’ll quote you on what’s required. Once approved, we’ll return ASAP to complete the job with minimal disruption.

🔄 Regular Servicing = Long-Term Performance

Servicing your system is the best way to protect it from breakdowns and ensure it’s running safely, efficiently, and effectively. The frequency depends on how often you use it — but as a guide, we recommend:

• Annually for residential systems

• Every 6 months for commercial systems

Residential Service Options:

• Minor Service: Boiler check only

• General Service: Boiler plus full system check

• Major Service: Full system check + power flush (recommended every 5 years or when performance drops)

Commercial Systems:

More variables come into play, so get in touch and we’ll advise the best servicing plan for your site.

🔁 Need a Replacement or Upgrade?

There comes a time when repairs are no longer the best option. Whether your heater is beyond repair or you're looking to upgrade to a more efficient model, we supply and install all major brands and can help you choose the right unit at a competitive price.

🏢 Commercial Maintenance Support

We work with aged care providers, schools, and other commercial facilities across Melbourne to proactively manage their hydronic systems. If you’re after a trusted, professional maintenance partner to ensure your assets are looked after properly, we’d love to hear from you.

💧 Got a Leak?

Leaks can happen — it’s not uncommon given the expansion and contraction in your system’s pipework and fittings. If you’ve spotted one, call us. We’ll guide you through how to make the area safe while we’re on the way to apply a proper fix.

🖼️ Thinking of Replacing Your Panels?

Like everything, radiator panels age and styles change. Whether you’ve found a new design or want help choosing one, we can supply and install any type of radiator panel or towel warmer on the market.

Not sure what’s out there? We’re happy to recommend some options to match your space.

🧊 Cold Spots or Reduced Heat?

If parts of your system aren’t heating like they used to, you may have a sludge build-up inside your pipes or panels. This restricts flow and creates cold spots.

Using a specialised power flush machine with magnetic filtration, we can clean out the buildup and restore system performance — often within a matter of hours.

🚚 Need a Radiator Moved or Temporarily Removed?

Renovating or repainting? We can help safely remove or relocate your radiator panels or towel warmers without damage to your system. Once you’re done, we’ll reinstall and test everything to ensure it’s working perfectly.

➕ Want to Add Extra Panels?

Need to heat a new room or extension? We can supply and install additional panels, and ensure your boiler has the capacity to handle the increased load. If needed, we’ll recommend any adjustments to keep your whole system running efficiently.
