Carman Heating, a South Australian company has been designing and installing Hydronic heating solutions to houses throughout South Australia for over 30 years. Hydronic floor heating is widely used throughout Europe and is silent, efficient and economical, and with no fan-forced circulation of air, dust is minimised making it the healthy choice for allergy sufferers.

Hydronic In-slab Floor Heating
Hydronic floor heating gently radiates heat throughout your entire house by circulating heated water through polyethylene pipes strategically laid in the concrete floor during construction. Each area can be thermostatically controlled or excluded if required, and electronically controlled allowing automatic starting, finishing and temperature control. This creates the most comfortable, economical and environmentally friendly way of providing clean, even warmth throughout your entire home. Warmth from your feet up.

Radiator Heating
For existing homes Carman Heating can install radiator heating using the same principle as floor heating with the heated water running through radiators, installed in each room. Each radiator can be individually controlled or thermostatically controlled. This allows room temperature to be changed to suit individual needs. Radiators are available in steel panel, tubular steel and old-world cast iron, in many different heights and widths. Once a heat load is accessed on each individual room, radiator sizes are selected and installed.

Combination units of floor and radiator heating can be used in extensions or renovations to existing homes.

Water can be heated by either gas (natural or LPG), heatpump, wood, oil and solar, depending on client preferences. Multiple fuel sources can be used in each system which can reduce running costs or utilise current fuel trends.

Solar Hot Water Systems
Carman Heating are an authorised Hills Solar dealer, and can supply and install the Hills Esteem II and Hills Exceed solar hot water systems. The Hills ESTEEM™II and Hills EXCEED™ systems represent the pinnacle of solar hot water systems in Australia today. Utilising advanced technology, the Hills ESTEEM™II and Hills EXCEED™ collectors deliver performance efficiencies well beyond those of traditional flat panel and other evacuated tube collectors.

With superior design and enhanced insulating properties, the collectors optimise energy capture while minimising heat loss, providing greater energy efficiencies, particularly during the winter period when thermal energy is at its lowest.

The small amount of evaporative liquid in each tube is super heated by the sun's energy and forms into a gas. The gas  rises to the top of each pipe. Heat transfer then occurs between the pipe and water passing through the manifold . The water is then transferred to the tank.

Hills Solar Evacuated Tubes are frost tolerant and have passed the AS/NZ 2712  2007 Standards for both, Hail & Freeze Resistance. The Hills Solar Hot Water Systems have passed the Freeze Test to –15° C without the need for a heat exchanger or Glycol.

Other Energy Efficient Products
Included in the Carman Heating range of products are Solar Power Systems, Heatpumps and Wood-Fired Boilers.
