About AHHAC Melbourne

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

AHHAC has been installing hydronic heating in Melbourne since 1998 — across Victorian terraces in Carlton and Fitzroy, modernist new builds in South Yarra, Mornington Peninsula beach houses, Yarra Valley winery residences and family homes from Geelong to Ballarat. Our Melbourne showroom is at Laverton North VIC 3026 with same-day parts stock and a direct line on 1300 76 53 39.

Melbourne's longer, colder winters make it the strongest hydronic market in Australia. We design every hydronic heating system around the specific home — heat-loss calculation, zone plan, energy-source selection, and a fixed-fee quote back within 24 hours of your enquiry. The most common Melbourne pairing: in-slab hydronic underfloor heating driven by an air-source heat pump hydronic heating system for new builds, or European panel radiators for heritage renovations.

For Melbourne homes pursuing 7+ star NatHERS ratings or Passivhaus certification, we combine hydronic with MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery) from Zehnder, Stiebel Eltron and Brink — up to 90% heat recovery from extracted air.

Why Melbourne homes choose AHHAC

Melbourne has a long history of high-end hydronic installs — but the market is fragmented between small renovation plumbers and a handful of design-and-install specialists. AHHAC is the latter. Our Melbourne team has installed over 800 hydronic systems across Greater Melbourne, the Peninsula, Geelong, Ballarat and the Yarra Valley.

Every Melbourne install carries our workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer cover. We're authorised installers for Maxa, Immergas Magis, Viessmann and Sime. Our service team handles annual maintenance for every major hydronic brand sold in Victoria in the last 25 years.

For Melbourne's coldest sites (Macedon, Daylesford, Mt Macedon, Mt Eliza foothills, Mornington Peninsula), we often spec hybrid systems — a heat pump for shoulder-season efficiency paired with a condensing gas backup for the coldest mornings. The Immergas Magis Hercules Pro hybrid switches automatically between heat pump and gas based on outdoor temperature.

Common Melbourne questions

Hydronic heating in Melbourne — FAQ

How much does hydronic heating cost in Melbourne?+
Typical Melbourne hydronic heating install costs sit between $32,000 and $60,000 for a 200 m² home with hydronic underfloor and heat pump — a touch higher than Sydney because Melbourne winters demand higher heat output and thicker insulation strategies. Radiator-retrofit installs typically $20,000-$35,000. Free site visit and fixed-price quote within 24 hours.
Which areas of Melbourne do you service?+
All Greater Melbourne, plus Mornington Peninsula, Bellarine Peninsula, Geelong, Ballarat, Yarra Valley, Macedon Ranges, Daylesford and the Surf Coast. Our Melbourne showroom at Laverton North VIC 3026 carries same-day stock of every component.
Is hydronic heating worth it in Melbourne?+
Yes — Melbourne has the most consistent hydronic-heating climate in Australia. Cold winters, mild shoulder seasons and warm summers make a reversible heat pump system the lowest annual running cost option for any well-insulated home. Pair it with rooftop solar PV and the system effectively pays for its energy.
Do you install hydronic heating in heritage Melbourne homes?+
Yes — heritage Victorian and Edwardian terraces are some of our most common renovation projects. We typically specify hydronic radiators or ThermaSkirt skirting heating instead of underfloor (no slab work required), driven from a wall-hung condensing boiler tucked into a service cupboard. Heritage approvals are normally straightforward — the install is invisible from the street.
How does Melbourne winter affect hydronic system sizing?+
Melbourne's design temperature is around -1°C (vs Sydney's 6°C and Brisbane's 10°C), which means heat-loss calculations come out higher for the same building. We typically spec a 25-40% larger system in Melbourne for the same floor area, and we factor in the building's overshadowing, glazing and insulation strategy. AHHAC will run the heat-loss calc at design stage.
Do you service hydronic heating systems in Melbourne?+
Yes — annual servicing, repairs and priority call-outs for all major hydronic brands. Our Melbourne service team handles Maxa, Immergas, Viessmann, Bosch, Vaillant, Worcester, Rinnai, Rheem and older systems from Stiebel Eltron, Daikin and Mitsubishi. Service contracts maintain manufacturer warranty validity.
