Internal instant hot water systems – perfect for small homes and apartments

Inner-city living in Brisbane has many great benefits. Being close to a huge range of restaurants, shops, entertainment facilities, beautiful parks and waterways keeps life interesting, there’s always something going on. However, living close to the action often means compromising on space with the bulk of residents living in apartments, units or townhouses.

With increased development demand for this style of home, modern appliance design has needed to keep pace by reducing the size of household essentials. Washing machines, fridges, dishwashers, and cooktops have all had the shrink-ray treatment to fit into our new ultra-condensed homes.

The overall population’s increased awareness of eco-friendly subsistence is another factor that has encouraged appliance manufacturers to tweak designs and produce more economical and environmentally friendly products.

Hot water systems are not exempt from this progression. The old-style large tank electric storage hot water system is being phased in favour of smaller, less power-hungry varieties. Instantaneous gas hot water systems are a perfect example of this movement, offering a compact water heating solution for residents living in small homes and apartments.

Instant gas hot water

Previously, available external wall space has been an issue when installing an instant hot water system in a compact housing, but now two leading hot water heater companies have introduced a great solution to this problem. Both Bosch and Rinnai have released energy efficient instant gas hot water systems which are suitable to be fitted inside the home.

Each brand offers models which tick the environmentally friendly and economical boxes. The Rinnai Infinity 26i (internal) is a continuous flow system with a star rating of 6.1. The Bosch 4000s Internal range includes 12L, 16L, and 20L models suitable for 1 to 2 bathroom homes, carrying a 6-star rating.
