1300 012 709Recent Job: Hot Water System replaced at an Eastern Suburbs Apartment
An Eastern Suburbs home was left without hot water when its Rinnai Infinity system stopped working after more than 20 years of service.
We removed the old unit and installed a new Rinnai Infinity continuous-flow gas hot water system. We also installed new copper pipework, fittings and valves before checking the system.
The new unit was working as it should, and hot water was restored to the home.
Without a replacement, the household would have remained without hot water, while the ageing unit and worn connections could have continued to break down.
