Services you can source on ArchiPro

• New installations – full design, sizing and commissioning of boilers, radiators or underfloor circuits.

Key decisions before you hire

1. Fuel type

Natural gas, LPG, diesel and electric heat-pump boilers each have different running costs and carbon footprints. An HVAC designer & supplier can model whole-of-life costs for your climate zone.

2. Heat emitters

Low-temperature panel radiators, trench convectors or in-slab coils? The answer depends on floor coverings, ceiling heights and response time expectations.

3. Controls

Smart thermostats and zoning valves optimise comfort and savings. Discuss integration with existing building-management systems when speaking to HVAC designers and installers.
