What to know about In-Floor heating
In-floor heating is one name covering two entirely different jobs done by two different licensed trades. Electric underfloor heating is a mat or cable laid under tile or inside a screed and connected by a licensed electrical worker. Hydronic underfloor heating is a network of water pipes in or under the floor served by a central heat source, and the pipework is licensed plumbing work. The finished effect is similar; almost nothing else about the two projects is.

Prices depend on the details of your project. We only publish price ranges when they’re backed by real LokalMatch quote data or reliable sources. Until then, here’s what usually changes the price:
- Type of system and fuel source
- Size and efficiency of the equipment
- Condition of the existing ductwork and venting
- Electrical or gas line changes
- Access to the furnace room, attic or outdoor unit location
- Removal and disposal of the old equipment
- Emergency or after-hours service
How to choose HVAC contractors in Fawkner
- Hire a technician who is licensed for heating, cooling and gas work in your area.
- For a new system, ask for a load calculation for your home rather than a size based on the old unit.
- Get written quotes that list the equipment, ductwork changes, removal of the old unit and any electrical work.
- Ask how they handle service calls and repairs after installation, including in the middle of winter.
- Compare the full scope of each quote, not only the equipment on it.
Questions to ask HVAC contractors before you hire
- Are you licensed for this type of heating, cooling or gas work in my area?
- How did you decide what size of system my home needs?
- Does this installation need a permit, and will you take care of it?
- What does the manufacturer's warranty cover, and what does your labour warranty cover?
- Will you need to change the ductwork, venting or electrical to make this work?
- Do you offer maintenance plans, and what do they include?
- How quickly can you respond if the system stops working?
In-floor heating permits in Victoria
Some in-floor heating work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.
Licensing in Victoria
Gas and fuel-burning appliances
Gas is its own licensed class, not something a general plumber picks up: Energy Safe Victoria tells consumers to always use a licensed gasfitter for any installation, repairs or renovations involving gas work, and the Victorian Building Authority administers the licensing and registration system for plumbers and gasfitters. The piece homeowners most often miss is the paperwork — after installing a gas appliance, the licensed gasfitter must give you a compliance certificate. Keep it: it is what obliges them to come back and fix a defective installation.
