Rheem electric hot water system replacement Northern Sydney

Replace hot water heater in Northern Sydney.

We received an emergency call from a customer located in Cammeray, Northern Sydney, whose old electric hot water heater had burst and water was flooding down their backyard.

Over the phone, our hot water specialist John instructed the customer on how to turn off the water supply to stop the tank from filling further and more water leaking out.  After turning off the water supply, eventually, the tank will run dry and the flooding will stop. This gave the customer peace of mind until we were able to arrive onsite at the Cammeray property.

After finishing up at another job nearby on the North Shore, John arrived onsite to assess the problem with the old Rheem electric hot water heater.  The old hot water system was at least 25 years old and this hard-working appliance had given the customer decades of reliable hot water. Unfortunately, the tank had burst and it was beyond repair. There was no alternative but to replace the old hot water system with a new one.

John discussed replacement hot water heater options available, taking into consideration the customer’s budget and hot water usage requirements. The customer had been very happy with the reliability of their old Rheem hot water system so were happy to install a new Rheem in its place. With this in mind, John recommended the Rheem electric hot water heater 315 litre (model: 491315).

The Rheem 315 litre (491315) is perfect for households with up to 6 people. It has a common footprint and fitting location to older electric hot water heaters which made the changeover easy. Additionally, dual-handed fittings provide installation flexibility. The customer chose the twin element model for faster heating making it perfect for households that need an extra boost of hot water. particularly if members of the household like to shower at the same time as running the washing machine. In the long term, there is no doubt the customer will appreciate the extra hot water that having an extra element provides.

The new hot water system installation required a new tempering valve, duo valve and pressure limiting valve had to be installed to comply with Australian Standards and plumbing code regulations.

Within a few hours, the Cammeray customer was back enjoying touble-free hot water and everyone in the household was able to have a hot shower.
