Aged Care

Aged Care

Efficiently powering your climate control, 24/7

Comfort and safety should be prioritised in any aged care setting and the selection of climate control system needs to support these priorities. Hydronic heating is a safe, energy efficient and cost-effective option that boasts a wide range of benefits that your care setting, residents, staff, and visitors can all gain from. As you can see from the number of hydronic heating system for aged care projects we have consulted on and supplied, from radiant panels and underfloor heating, to in floor trench heaters, the hydronic approach offers options for all facilities.

Products used in aged care heating and cooling projects

In our 40 years of experience advising and installing premium hydronic solutions for a range of settings, included aged care centres, we have traditionally selected the following hydronic heating products:

Boilers

Highly efficient, natural gas condensing boilers are a critical component for any gas fired hydronic heating system, considered the engine of a system, modern condensing boilers are extremely efficient, with efficiencies no less than 95%. Condensing boilers ensure your system runs efficiently at a desired temperature, around the clock, they require minimal maintenance and can also be utilised for domestic hot water production for your facility.

Radiant Panel Heating

With products designed and produced specifically for safety-critical settings, hydronic radiators are a popular product for heating in aged care centres.

Underfloor Heating

For larger common areas, hydronic underfloor heating is a comfortable and very practical option, with a range of floor coverings that can be laid on top.

Hydronic Heating for Private Rooms

Radiant panel heating is a fantastic option for private accommodation rooms, with low temperature touch panels available, ensuring the safety of residents and staff. Hydronic radiant panel heaters operate silently, so zero noise pollution, supporting the wellbeing of residents, they can be controlled individually so each and every occupant can benefit from custom temperature levels day and night.

Available in a range of sizes, hydronic radiant panel heaters are suitable for all spaces and are highly energy efficient with running costs up to 40% less than ducted heating systems. Relying solely on hot water flowing through them, hydronic radiant panel heaters can be connected to a different heat sources, some of the common options are gas fired condensing boiler and Hydronic heat pumps.

Maximum Comfort for Common Areas

Hydronic heating is all about consistent comfort, across indoor spaces. Incorporating underfloor heating and radiant panel heating, otherwise known as radiators, across common areas such as hallways, entry reception desks, dining rooms and entertainment areas, will provide even, comfortable ambient temperatures. When coupled with quality insulation, hydronic heating systems ensure year-round comfort. Alongside consistent temperature, hydronic heating retains a healthy level of moisture in the air, so it doesn’t dry or dehydrate the environment unlike other forms of heating. The hydronic approach will also provide improved air quality for residents, visitors, and staff, amongst other benefits. For maximum comfort, consider a hydronic system for your aged care facility.

Safety First Design

Hunt Commercial offers premium hydronic products designed with safety in mind. Developed specifically for safety-critical settings, such as aged care, safe to touch panels are a popular choice with surface temperatures remaining below 50℃. As hydronic products are connected to a sealed pipe system within the walls or floors, there are no external cables or cords, which means no trip hazards for staff and residents alike. In addition, there’s also the absence of hot blowing air, which can present a fire hazard in free standing blow heaters and ducted systems. Hydronic products also don’t attract a build-up of dust and other air borne debris, which is an issue with other systems that require routine deep cleaning to ensure safety and health standards are met.

Reduce Spread of Infection with Hydronic Heating

By installing hydronic radiant panels heaters or hydronic underfloor heating in your facility, you are offering your residents, visitors, and staff the healthiest climate control option. As the hydronic approach doesn’t rely on fan forced air, there are no airborne pollutants circulating through the centre, which can rapidly spread infection, trigger respiratory issues such as asthma, distribute mould spores and any other number of particles which can cause allergic reactions and general health issues. Hydronic radiators are quick and easy to clean and are made from materials that can withstand hospital grade disinfectants. Improve the air quality and infection control in your aged care setting by installing hydronic heating.
