Our History
Founded in 1926, Automatic Heating began in a small workshop at Temple Court, Collins Street, Melbourne. What started as a modest heating equipment manufacturer has grown into a national company serving commercial and institutional clients across Australia.
Over the past century, we have navigated—and led—four major fuel transitions: from briquettes to coal, through diesel burners and natural gas, and now to electrification and natural refrigerant solutions. Each transition demanded new engineering capabilities, supplier relationships, and technical knowledge. That adaptability defines who we are.
Our growth has been guided by first-class engineering, deep product knowledge, and a focus on the particular requirements of each project. We work alongside mechanical and hydraulic consultants to develop the best heating and hot water solutions for their projects—from hospitals and aged care facilities to leisure centres and commercial buildings.
The team that built Automatic Heating’s reputation through the mid-twentieth century faced their own transitions—post-war rebuilding, new fuel sources, changing regulations. What carried the company through was deep product knowledge and long-term relationships with consultants and contractors.
That foundation remains. Today, we continue to lead the industry’s transition to low-carbon heating and hot water—guiding property owners, facility managers, specifiers, and developers through electrification. Our investment in software tools for specification and remote monitoring supports projects from design through to ongoing operation.
In 2026, we mark 100 years of trusted delivery to the Australian heating and hot water industry.
