Top Rinnai hot water systems reviewed

All over our country, from one corner of the continent to all of the others, the best plumbers in the business are busily installing literally hundreds of hot water systems each and every day. So in our exclusive Rinnai hot water systems review, we’re putting together the collective wisdom of Australia’s best plumbers to name our top 3 Rinnai systems.

1. Rinnai Sunmaster Review

With sustainability and soaring power prices on our minds, it’s no surprise that one of the big movers and shakers in Australia’s hot water system market is solar technology. Already, solar systems have taken a 25% chunk out of the total hot water market, even if gas hot water systems remain the top seller – with fully-electric systems coming in at number 2.

So the focus of our Rinnai solar hot water system review is the Sunmaster range, based on what Australia’s best plumbers are reporting. The Prestige range is also popular, but the product choice and cost-effective nature of the solar Sunmasters make them irresistible to many homeowners. That is due to:

• The cost-effective vitreous enamel coatings, making the tanks highly corrosion resistant
• Choice between flat plate, evacuated tube, or close-coupled (both tank and collectors installed on the roof) technologies
• Huge product warranties up to 15 years for the solar collectors.

2. Rinnai Hotflo Review

Did you know that solar hot water systems, closely followed by new hot water technologies like ‘fridge in reverse’ heat pumps, are actually more popular than sleek and convenient instantaneous hot water systems these days? While that’s all good and well, none of them are yet to eclipse the old standard in Australian hot water – the trusty electric tank-based systems.

For our Rinnai electric hot water system review, then, it’s a no-brainer to make a fuss about the extremely popular range that the brand aptly calls Hotflo. And in our Rinnai Hotflo review, the eye-catching upsides are:

• Enormous tank size range, from ultra-compact 25 litres to super-sized 400 litres
• Industry-leading 10-year cylinder warranties
• Choice of more affordable single or premium fast-heating twin-element systems across the tank-size range.

3. Rinnai Infinity Review

But without a shadow of a doubt, Australia’s most popular energy source for heating hot water is natural gas – for plenty of very good reasons. It’s cheaper than the ever-more-popular electricity, it’s better for the environment, and when coupled with instantaneous hot water technology, it’s simply the superior hot-water-on-demand option all across our great country.

So while most Rinnai gas hot water system reviews would understandably focus on the tank-based product range, we’re going to zoom in on Rinnai’s range of tankless low-emission gas burner systems – otherwise known as Infinity:

• Advanced ‘PureTemp’ technology uses intelligent controls and sensors to constantly monitor and adjust the hot water temperature in real-time, eliminating dangerous and annoying fluctuations
• Advanced flow sensors and modulating burners help to conserve water and keep bills lower by cleverly controlling the flow rate based on demand and therefore minimising wasted hot water and gas
• A 6.2 out of 6-star rating based on Australia’s Energy Star rating system, meaning it not only meets but exceeds the maximum efficiency rating offered by the Australian government.
