Upgrading an Ashfield customer to instantaneous gas hot water.
We recently helped a homeowner in Ashfield to upgrade their aging and inefficient Rheem gas storage water heater to a new energy-efficient instantaneous gas system.
After years of use, the customer’s existing storage tank had become inefficient and expensive to run. Because it constantly reheated stored water, it was using energy even when no one was home. The large tank also took up valuable space along the side of the house, which the homeowner wanted to reclaim.
Looking for a smarter solution, the customer contacted us for advice. After discussing their household hot water usage, we recommended the Rheem 28 Instant Gas Hot Water Heater, a compact wall-mounted unit that delivers continuous hot water on demand. This was the perfect solution for households wanting both performance and energy savings.
Why upgrade from gas storage to instant hot water?
Instantaneous (continuous flow) gas hot water systems only heat water as it’s needed, so they can prove more efficient than traditional storage units. They’re ideal for Inner West properties where space is limited and energy efficiency is a priority.
Benefits of instantaneous gas hot water
- Lower running costs because energy is only used when hot water is required
- Endless hot water, even when multiple taps or showers are running
- Compact, wall-mounted design that frees up valuable outdoor space
- Improved energy efficiency and reduced greenhouse emissions
- Consistent water temperature for comfort and safety
- Scalable capacity because multiple units can be linked for large households
- Compatible with rooftop solar power or gas boosters
