Building on a Slab? You’re in Luck – Here’s Why You Should Heat It With Hydronic

If you’re building a new home on a concrete slab – you’re in luck. With a bit of smart planning, you can turn that slab into a heat bank that keeps your home toasty warm through even the coldest Geelong and Surf Coast winters.

By installing hydronic slab heating and running it off an efficient heat pump, you’re essentially creating the comfort of living on a warm rock. And it’s not just cosy – it’s incredibly efficient.

The real magic happens when you pair this setup with solar power. Run your system between 9am and 4pm, when your solar is cranking, and you can enjoy that next-level comfort for next to nothing. No fossil fuels, no gas bills – just clean, quiet warmth.

Concrete is a natural fit for this. It’s a slow conductor of heat, which means once it’s warmed up, it holds onto that heat for hours – sometimes well into the next day. It’s like using your slab as a thermal battery. A well-insulated home will only lose a few degrees over 24 hours, so you’re banking warmth during the day and coasting through the night.

This kind of radiant heating is gentle, silent, and doesn’t blow dust around like traditional heating systems. It warms the entire space evenly, from the ground up – exactly where you feel it most.

If comfort, efficiency, and long-term savings matter to you, heating your slab is one of the smartest choices you can make. You’ll thank us every winter morning when your toes hit a warm floor.
