Why a Gas Rinnai Infinity Hot Water System is the Best Choice for Auckland Homes
Suppose you’re building, renovating, or simply upgrading your hot water system. In that case, you’ve likely come across the Infinity range by Rinnai, a trusted brand offering continuous flow hot water systems known for reliability and energy efficiency. But when it comes to choosing between gas and electric, many Auckland homeowners are leaning towards gas Infinity systems and for good reason.
Here’s what makes Rinnai Infinity systems stand out and why gas is smarter for most Auckland households…
What is an Rinnai Infinity Hot Water System?
While both gas and electric Infinity systems are available, gas models consistently outperform when it comes to running costs, performance, and overall value – especially in Auckland.
Key benefits:
- Instant, continuous hot water
- Energy savings by avoiding standby heat loss
- Precise temperature control
- Space-saving design, ideal for Auckland’s urban homes
Why Choose a Gas Infinity System?
While both gas and electric Infinity systems are available, gas models consistently outperform when it comes to running costs, performance, and overall value – especially in Auckland.
Lower Running Costs
Gas Infinity systems – particularly those connected to Auckland’s mains gas network – offer significantly lower running costs than electric models. Even if you’re using LPG bottles, gas generally remains more cost-effective over time.
Better Water Pressure
Have a busy household? Gas Infinity systems provide higher and more consistent flow rates, which means better water pressure even when multiple taps or showers are running.
Energy-Efficient & Reliable
Because gas models only heat water on demand, there’s no energy wasted keeping a cylinder hot all day. And with Rinnai’s well-earned reputation, you can trust the system to perform for years to come.
Future-Ready
What About Electric Infinity Systems?
Electric continuous flow systems may suit smaller homes or properties without access to gas, but there are a few compromises:
- Higher power bills, especially during Auckland’s peak usage times
- Requires 3-phase power, more suitable for commercial properties
- Lower flow rates, which may struggle with simultaneous use
- Dependent on grid electricity, unless combined with solar
In short, electric models have their place but they rarely offer the same value or performance as gas systems in the long run.
Perfect for Auckland Living
Auckland’s combination of compact homes, renovation activity, and widespread mains gas access makes it an ideal environment for gas Infinity systems. Whether you’re in a central suburb or on the outskirts, gas offers the right mix of efficiency, cost savings, and performance.
Ready to Upgrade?
If you want reliable, efficient and long-lasting hot water, a Rinnai gas Infinity system is a smart investment. You’ll enjoy consistent performance, lower running costs, and hot water that never runs out – no matter how long the queue for the shower.
