Rinnai is a renowned brand in the hot water industry, known for its innovative and high-quality products. With a reputation built on reliability and energy efficiency, Rinnai offers a diverse range of hot water solutions to meet various household needs.
Rinnai's hot water range includes:
1. Continuous Flow Systems
2. Storage Hot Water Systems

Rinnai offers several types of hot water systems:
1. Rinnai Enviroflo Hot Water Heat Pump
2. Rinnai Continuous Flow Hot Water
3. Rinnai Electric Continuous Flow Hot Water Heater
4. Rinnai Solar Hot Water Heater
The Rinnai Enviroflo is an energy-efficient heat pump system. It uses electricity to move heat from the air to the water, rather than generating heat directly. This model is characterised by its low running costs and environmental friendliness. The Enviroflo is best suited for households looking to reduce their carbon footprint and energy bills, particularly in areas with mild to warm climates.
Rinnai Continuous Flow systems provide hot water on demand. These units heat water as it flows through the system, ensuring a constant supply of hot water. They are compact, highly efficient, and ideal for homes with high hot water demand. This type is best for households of any size that require a consistent and unlimited supply of hot water.
The Rinnai Electric Continuous Flow system is similar to its gas counterpart but uses electricity as its energy source. It provides instant, endless hot water without the need for a gas connection. This model is characterised by its compact size and ease of installation. It's best suited for smaller households or properties without access to natural gas.
Rinnai Solar Hot Water systems harness the sun's energy to heat water, supplemented by either gas or electric boosting. These systems are highly energy-efficient and can significantly reduce household energy costs. Characterised by their environmental friendliness and long-term cost savings, Rinnai solar systems are best for households in sunny areas looking to maximise energy efficiency and reduce their carbon footprint.
The "best" Rinnai hot water system depends on individual household needs, including factors such as family size, hot water usage patterns, energy costs, and environmental considerations. At Mitchell Plumbing and Gas, we consider several key factors when advising clients on the best Rinnai system:
1. Household size and hot water demand
2. Available energy sources (gas, electricity, solar potential)
3. Energy efficiency requirements
4. Installation space and location
5. Budget for initial purchase and ongoing running costs
6. Environmental impact preferences
On average, Rinnai hot water systems are known for their durability and longevity. Continuous flow systems typically last 15-20 years, while storage systems may last 10-15 years. Solar systems often have a lifespan of 20 years or more for the collectors, with the storage tank lasting 10-15 years.
The longevity of Rinnai systems is attributed to their high-quality construction and advanced technology. Regular maintenance can further extend the lifespan of these systems.

Proper maintenance is crucial for the longevity and efficiency of Rinnai hot water heaters. Key maintenance requirements include regular inspection of the system for any signs of wear or damage, checking and cleaning of filters and vents, flushing the system to remove sediment build-up, and ensuring all safety features are functioning correctly. For gas systems, it's important to check gas connections and burners. Solar systems require additional checks on collectors and circulation pumps. Regular professional servicing is recommended to address these maintenance needs effectively.
Rinnai hot water systems should typically be serviced annually. This frequency ensures optimal performance, energy efficiency, and longevity of the system. Regular servicing helps identify and address potential issues before they become major problems, potentially saving on costly repairs or premature replacement.
Several warning signs indicate that your Rinnai hot water system may need servicing:
1. Inconsistent Water Temperature: Fluctuations in water temperature or inability to maintain the set temperature.
2. Reduced Hot Water Output: Noticeable decrease in the amount of hot water available.
3. Unusual Noises: Banging, whistling, or rumbling sounds from the unit.
4. Discoloured Water: Rusty or cloudy water may indicate tank corrosion or sediment build-up.
5. Visible Leaks: Any signs of water leakage around the unit.
6. Increased Energy Bills: Unexplained increases in energy consumption.
7. Pilot Light Issues: For gas systems, frequent pilot light outages or difficulty in lighting.
8. Error Codes: Display of error codes on digital models.
If you notice any of these signs, it's important to contact professional plumbers for inspection and servicing.
Common problems specific to Rinnai hot water heaters include:
1. Ignition Failures: Particularly in gas continuous flow models.
2. Sensor Malfunctions: Leading to temperature inconsistencies.
3. Scale Build-up: Affecting efficiency, especially in hard water areas.
4. Thermocouple Issues: In older gas models, causing pilot light problems.
5. Leaking Pressure Relief Valve: Often due to excessive pressure or valve wear.
6. Error Code 12: Common in continuous flow models, often indicating a flame failure.
