When a care home in Northampton ran out of hot water due to its boiler system failing, it was Rinnai’s continuous flow units mounted on an emergency response mobile vehicle that raced to the scene to save the day. This emergency heating solution ensured that the care home had a reliable source of hot water when they needed it most.
The two-boiler system failed at the care home, and the site was running out of hot water, so they needed a speedy resolution as the NHS requirements call for the provision of a constant supply of temperature-controlled hot water at all times.
Within three hours, the response vehicle was outside the site, and hot water was on tap to all 40 bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry room. The mobile unit continued to supply hot water for two weeks to the satisfaction of NHS inspectors until the boilers could be fixed. This emergency heating solution proved to be efficient and reliable.
Rinnai’s continuous flow heater systems are proven to be more energy-efficient than conventional storage systems and are increasingly the experts’ preferred method of hot water provision. Rinnai units easily cater to any size projects that demand high volumes of water at intermittent times of the day.
