FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the storage capacity of the Rheem Indoor 170L Gas Water Heater?

The Rheem Indoor 170L Gas Water Heater has a storage capacity of 170 litres, making it suitable for medium-sized households with varying hot water demands.

How much hot water can it recover per hour?

This unit has an hourly recovery rate of 126 litres, ensuring a steady supply of hot water even during peak usage times.

What is the gas consumption of the Rheem Indoor 170L?

The Rheem Indoor 170L Gas Water Heater operates at a gas consumption rate of 30 MJ/hr, balancing efficiency with performance.

Is gas hot water cheaper than electric?

Gas hot water is often cheaper to run than peak-rate electricity, particularly for larger households. Continuous-flow gas only heats water on demand, avoiding the standby heat loss of a storage tank. Actual running costs depend on your gas rates and usage.

How does gas hot water work?

A gas hot water system burns natural gas or LPG to heat your water — either instantly as it flows through a continuous-flow (tankless) unit, or stored in a heated tank ready for use.

How long do gas hot water systems last?

Gas hot water systems typically last around 10–12 years with regular servicing. Continuous-flow units often last longer than storage models.

What size gas hot water system do I need?

Continuous-flow gas systems are sized by flow rate (litres per minute) based on how many hot water outlets run at once; gas storage systems are sized by tank capacity. SunCity will match the right unit to your household's peak demand.

How much does it cost to install a hot water system?

SunCity Hot Water quotes all-inclusive pricing — supply, installation by licensed plumbers and electricians, tempering and pressure-relief valves, removal of the old unit, QBCC fees and GST — with no hidden extras. Call 1300 728 122 for a fast quote.
