Hot Water System Brands
We recommend and install electric VULCAN® and Rheem hot water systems, both of which are owned by Rheem Australia Pty Ltd.
Vulcan 250L, 315L & 400L cylinders come with 10 year cylinder warranty. Their after sales warranty service is fantastic, however is rarely required due to the quality of Vulcan® hot water cylinders.
Rheem have a handy online calculator which helps you compare the running costs between various types of water heaters.
Tempering Valves
In hot water storage systems for residential buildings, heat needs to be a minimum of 60° Celsius to prevent the growth of bacteria such as Legionella.
A tempering device ensures that hot water is at a maximum 50° Celsius. This temperature is sufficient for domestic hygiene purposes and effectively reduces the risk of scalding-related injuries from hot water use.
A tempering device installation is requirement for all new and replacement hot water systems.
If your hot water is lukewarm or even cold, your tempering valve may need replacing. We can replace your tempering valve on the same day for an affordable price.
