How Aura Climate works, why it beats traditional ACs, and what you need to know for villas, hotels, and Indian summers.
What is a hydronic system?
A hydronic system uses water to move heat. A central outdoor unit (the “hub”) chills or heats water, which is pumped through insulated pipes to indoor units—fan coils on the wall or hidden in floors and ceilings. You get cooling in summer and heating in winter from one integrated system, with no refrigerant inside your living space.
Why choose Aura over split ACs?
- One outdoor unit — No multiple compressors on the building exterior; the hub sits on the roof or terrace.
- Silent, gentle airflow — Fan coils deliver whisper-quiet, draft-free comfort instead of harsh cold blasts.
- Better indoor air quality — No recirculated duct dust; optional fresh air integration.
- Only water in your rooms — Chilled water runs through the indoor units; no high-pressure refrigerant in living spaces.
- 20–25 year lifespan — Industrial-grade components and minimal maintenance compared to conventional ACs.
Built for Indian summers
Our systems are designed and tested for peak Indian ambients (50°C+). We design and manufacture in Bhusawal and tailor the thermal load for every project—villa, hotel, or commercial building. No off-the-shelf imports; every system is engineered for Indian conditions.

Frequently asked questions
- What is a hydronic heating and cooling system?
- A hydronic system uses water (or a water-glycol mix) to transfer heat. A central outdoor unit chills or heats the water, which is then circulated through pipes to indoor fan coil units or underfloor/ceiling panels. This provides silent, draft-free cooling in summer and radiant heating in winter.
- How is Aura Hydronic different from regular split ACs?
- Traditional ACs blow cold air and use refrigerant inside your living space. Aura Climate uses only chilled water in the indoor units—no refrigerant in the room. You get gentler airflow, better indoor air quality, one central outdoor unit (no multiple compressors on the wall), and a 20–25 year system lifespan with lower maintenance.
- Can hydronic systems work in Indian summers (45°C+)?
- Yes. Our systems are designed and tested for peak Indian ambients. The outdoor hub and components are engineered for 50°C+ conditions. We design and manufacture in Bhusawal and tailor the thermal load for each project.
- Do you offer hydronic systems for villas and hotels?
- Yes. We design custom hydronic systems for villas, hotels, and commercial buildings. We work from your floor plans, integrate with your architect, and provide as-built documentation. Pan-India supply from our facility in Bhusawal.
- What is the typical lifespan of a hydronic system?
- With industrial-grade components and proper installation, Aura Climate systems are built for 20–25 years. Piping and core components have minimal moving parts and ultra-low maintenance compared to conventional ACs.
