Australian central heating systems are available in three different solution types: hydronic heating, ducted gas or electric heat pump, and in-slab heating. A hydronic central heating system heats water in a boiler which is then circulated throughout the home to radiator panels or fan coils. These are typically located along the walls of a room. Natural gas, propane or even wood provide the fuel for hydronic central heating systems. They are very efficient, quiet, provide for heat zoning, are non-allergenic and provide a high radiant heat ratio to energy used. They also have a high initial cost relative to ducted central heating systems.

Ducted central heating systems use a gas furnace or electric reverse cycle system, also known as a heat pump. These units heat the outside air and then circulate the heated air throughout the building using a fan and ventilation ducts. It is possible to install a ducted solution with zones, but that needs to be specified up front. Ducted central heating systems cost less to buy than hydronic solutions, but there is some inefficiency during normal use. Generally, the warmest air will rise which leads to some temperature fluctuations with limited zoning potential.

Some central heating systems are designed for in-slab heating. Basically, electric cables and hot water pipes are installed in the slab area for new homes or home additions. The concrete is poured over the cables. The heat component is fuelled by off-peak electricity (electric cables) or by natural gas (hot water pipes). This solution offers a high radiant heat ratio, is non-allergenic, and very quiet. It is also very expensive to operate or repair and has high greenhouse gas emissions when using electricity.
