The beauty of a TRV is that they don’t need adjusting when the outside temperature changes. The thermo-sensitive element automatically adapts to the changing temperature and keeps the radiator heating longer when the outside temperature falls.

As Sydney's winters can bring a chilly bite to the air, homeowners are always on the lookout for effective heating solutions. Among the various options available, underfloor heating has emerged as a popular choice, offering a range of benefits tailored to the city’s unique climate and lifestyle. In this article, we’ll explore what underfloor heating is, its advantages, and why it’s becoming a preferred method of heating in Sydney homes.

Amuheat is available direct to builders, electricians, home renovators and other trades across Australia including Sydney, Melbourne, Hobart, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, Canberra & Newcastle.

When it comes to creating a cozy and energy-efficient home, underfloor heating is a popular choice. It provides an even distribution of heat and can be more comfortable than reverse air and gas heating. Two primary types of underfloor heating systems are electric and hydronic. Each has its distinct advantages and considerations, and understanding these can help you make an informed decision based on your specific needs and circumstances.

Hydronic radiator panel and ceiling heating relies on natural convection and radiation to heat your home in silence and comfort, without the dust and allergens often associated with ducted central heating. A luxurious heating method, hydronic heating also offers superior design and a range of styles to complement any modern or traditional setting.

Hydronic underfloor heating relies on pipes laid in the concrete slab or screed to carry heated water. The water can then be heated by various energy sources including gas boiler, electric heat pumps and solar hot water systems. Hydronic heating installations are invisible (with no vents or ducts on floors or walls) and silent in rooms as radiant heat rises from the floor surfaces of your home, heating it from the ground up.

Electric floor heating is a simple and cost-effective way of heating select rooms or entire homes alike. Amuheat electric heating systems are available to be installed under most floor coverings including under carpet, tile and floating timber floors.

Our steam TRVs help residents to set the temperature on a room-by-room basis. No more open windows in NYC winters! Our Niva one-pipe steam TRVs are Local Law 97 compliant and give complete control to residents. Our TRVs are Local Law 97 compliant. Get in touch to find out how we can help landlords to meet their obligations under Local Law 97.

The biggest update to TRVs since their invention in the 1970s is smart tech – the internet of things. It’s now possible to use an electronic actuator to control radiators, giving granular control from a smartphone or laptop anywhere in the world.The basic concept is the same as traditional TRVs but the level of control is far more detailed. We work with Genius Hub who offer an intelligent control system that works seamlessly with most boilers and heat pumps, and of course with our radiators too.

We’re asked this a lot and the answer is no, not at all. Regular TRVs (read about Smart TRVs below) are a simple mechanical valve that have no electronic parts and cannot communicate with the boiler. All heating systems need some sort of electronic thermostat that tells the heat source when to supply hot water or steam to the radiators. We recommend a learning thermostat such as Nest.

Not only will electric floor heating improve the indoor air quality, Amuheat’s silent underfloor heating systems require minimal maintenance and operate more efficiently than any other heating system while offering superior comfort and quiet, even heat. Heating on a room-by-room basis, with precise temperature control means a cozy, energy-efficient environment.

Your hydronic gas boiler or electric heat pump is the central component of your hydronic heating system, and it is recommended the system be serviced every 2 years. * Note some system brands require system services annually to maintain the system warranty.

The larger the distance, the warmer the room must be before the valve is closed.Thermostatic valves are designed to let a small amount of water pass through when the room is cold to protect against frost. If you need to shut the valve off completely, when removing the radiators from the system in order to decorate, for instance, you’ll need to use the decorator’s cap supplied with the valves.

Hallmarks of Amuheat floor heating products include affordable luxury comfort, energy efficient use, and control by smart programmable thermostats. And as heat naturally rises, no heat is wasted with Amuheat whose underfloor heating systems are gentle and low temperature, with no air movement, dust, noise or dry air.

Amuheat’s electric and hydronic underfloor heating products provide luxury comfort and consistent heat under tile, stone, laminate, concrete and timber floors.

Systems that stop working, generally is a result of an electrical surge that damages the safety switch or wall thermostat controller. And where there is damage to the embedded heating cable as result of same, or if there is damage that has gone undetected during the flooring installation that now presents after the heating is turned on and running, there is assistance available to trace the heating cable, locate the damage spot and repair with minimal floor rectification work required to make good.

A gas boiler or heat pump service is a preventative measure that involves minimal disruption to your hydronic system and will ensure that your hydronic system is operating at optimum efficiency and safely for many years to come.

If you have one-pipe steam radiators, we can help you to regulate the temperature of your rooms by using similar TRVs to those used on hot water systems. Unlike two-pipe steam and hot water radiators, one-pipe steam radiators are controlled not at the inlet side but instead on the outlet. Adjusting the size of the opening into a one-pipe steam radiator causes problems with condensate drainage so instead, we control the air that leaves it.Before a heating cycle starts one-pipe radiators are full of air. If that air can’t get out, the steam can’t get in. Adding a thermostatic valve between the radiator and the air vent adds control to the amount of air that can escape and, as a result, the amount of steam that enters the radiator.

When installing electric underfloor heating, one critical consideration is whether or not to insulate the floor. While it might seem like an additional expense, insulating the floor can significantly enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of your heating system. Here are four compelling reasons why floor insulation is essential when installing electric underfloor heating:

When the two are put together the supply of heat into the radiator is automatically controlled with respect to the temperature of the room. When the room reaches the desired temperature, the valve closes and the radiator stops heating. The room then cools, the valve opens and the radiator begins to heat again.Turning the handle of the thermostatic head adjusts the distance that the actuator must expand by to close the valve. Many TRVs have a 1 to 5 scale – with 1 representing the smallest distance and 5 the greatest.

We make choosing the correct floor heating system simple with a complete service offering which includes direct sales, support, specification,design and project installation teams for professional installation support.

Not all TRVs have a 1 to 5 scale. Our Windsor TRVs – our single most popular valve – works exactly the same as traditional-looking thermostatic valves but with a more discrete scale. Rings on the neck denote the 1 – 5 settings. Once set, you usually don’t need to touch the TRV much at all so the lack of visibility isn’t a problem.

A thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) is made up of two parts. The thermostatic head contains an actuator – a canister filled with gas or wax – that expands and contracts as the temperature rises and falls. The valve body has a sprung plunger inside it that closes and opens the supply of water into the radiator.
