Rheem Heat Pump Systems

Rheem offers two high-performance heat pumps: the HDi-310 and the MPi-325 Series II models.

Heat pumps are one of the most energy-efficient ways to heat water. Though they run on electricity, they don’t use that electricity to heat the water directly. Instead, they rely on a refrigerant system that cleverly extracts warmth from the surrounding air; think of it as working like a fridge in reverse. Aside from solar systems, heat pumps are the most cost-effective hot water systems to run.

The HDi-310 model heats water from the top down, ensuring hot water is available quickly after use. By concentrating heat at the top of the tank, it avoids the need to reheat the entire volume. It also comes equipped with frost protection and a backup heating element, making it ideal for cold winter nights.

The MPi-325 Series II Heat Pump delivers quiet performance with whisper technology and uses a multi-pass heating system to maximise efficiency.

Metropolitan Plumbing can expertly install either of these outstanding Rheem heat pumps in your home.

Rheem Gas Hot Water System

Rheem gas hot water systems are divided into two broad categories – gas storage and gas continuous flow.

Gas storage hot water systems come in a range that suits a big family or a smaller household. They all have extremely good hot water recovery, so that in the rare event that the household uses up all of its stored hot water, it’s often replenished and ready to go in around an hour.

There are 4 and 5-star energy-rated models, so you can select a more efficient water heater if that matters most to you. The greatest advantage of gas storage is that you get mains pressure to multiple taps. That means there isn’t a sudden drop off of hot water in the shower if someone decides to use hot water in the kitchen.

Rheem gas continuous flow hot water systems never run out of hot water because they heat water only when you need it. Continuous flow systems are available at two preset temperatures – 50°C or 60°C. Households with a high demand for hot water can get larger systems that can heat up to 27 litres per minute. You can even link 2 Rheem gas continuous systems and have a generous 54 litres per minute of hot water.

Rheem Solar Hot Water System

Rheem boasts a comprehensive range of solar hot water systems. There are 15 models in the range, each grouped under either the Loline or Hiline name.

• Loline solar hot water systems are split systems that have solar panels on the roof and a storage tank on the ground.
• Hiline solar hot water systems are the more traditional, close-coupled systems with the tank and panels installed side by side on the roof.

Solar hot water is the cheapest way to heat water because it uses the natural energy of sunshine instead of electricity or gas. Yes, on heavily overcast days it may be less effective. For this reason, Rheem solar hot water systems come with either an electric or a gas booster. The gas boosters are continuous flow and only heat water as needed, so they are the more environmentally-friendly option.

In colder parts of Australia, you don’t have to do without the benefits of solar because Rheem has models designed especially for frost-prone regions.  Some offer limited frost tolerance only, but four models are completely frost protected.

Rheem really is a leader in solar hot water systems, with suitable models for virtually any situation.

Rheem Electric Hot Water System

Rheem is famous for its electric hot water systems. These are the “steady, hot and strong” systems many of us grew up hearing about on TV and radio commercials. Electric storage hot water systems – of which Rheem has no fewer than 30 varieties – are renowned for their ability to deliver mains pressure hot water to multiple taps throughout the home.

Although electric storage hot water systems have gained a reputation as being expensive to run, they are better than they were. They can even be a sensible and environmentally beneficial choice if they are paired with solar panels.

Be that as it may, Rheem electric storage hot water systems remain a worthwhile choice when it comes time to install a new heater.

The storage tanks are so durable that most have an incredible 12-year warranty. For households with a high daily hot water demand, some twin-element models rapidly heat water, leaving you rarely waiting for more. There are even models that are suitable for indoor installation.

Metropolitan Plumbing can install any of the many Rheem electric hot water systems so that you can enjoy reliable hot water for years to come.
