Residential Case Study: WA family switches to Rheem Gas Continuous Flow

The Brief

With two adults, one child and plenty of daily hot water demand, this Heathridge WA home needed a reliable replacement fast after their non-Rheem gas continuous flow unit gave way after seven years.

With four bedrooms and two bathrooms, the family were keen to stick with the same type of system as gas continuous flow heats water when they need it, for as long as they need it.

The solution: Rheem Gas Continuous Flow 26L Water Heater

Perrone Plumbing and Gas replaced the previous system with a Rheem 26L Gas Continuous Flow 50^oC model. The upgrade not only puts the family back in hot water but is also a long-term investment and assists in improving overall efficiency thanks to its 6 star energy rating.

“The old system had to be replaced due to the heat exchanger failing,” said Michael from Perrone Plumbing and Gas.

“We installed a Rheem because of the trusted name, warranty period and energy rating. Some clients we have also request the Rheem due to its good reputation.”

Why Rheem Gas Continuous Flow?

Rheem Gas Continuous Flow is a smart choice due to the following reasons:

• Can cater for high hot water demand: Gas continuous flow heats water on demand, ensuring you never run out of hot water. This makes it an excellent solution for homes with high hot water usage. Also, installing a gas continuous flow system that is sized correctly sets your home up for the future, especially if your family is likely to grow.
• Energy-efficient: The water heater activates when a tap is turned on and switches off when the tap is turned off, ensuring you don’t use more gas than required. Also, modern systems have a 6 Star Energy Rating. Every star rating represents about 7% less gas usage, which can mean lower energy bills.¹
• Good solution for tight spaces: Gas continuous flow is mounted to a wall, taking up less space. This offers flexibility of installation location and is especially practical for apartments and smaller homes.
• Range of sizes: Rheem offers a range of sizes suited to different homes and hot water usage habits. The size refers to how many litres of hot water the system delivers per minute.²

Backed by a strong warranty: Rheem Gas Continuous Flow systems are backed by a manufacturer warranty providing 12 years on heat exchanger parts, extending to 15 years for the Rheem Ultra® 28L range.³
