Rinnai has supplied gas appliances in Australia since 1971 and is best known for the Infinity continuous flow range.
Warranty, in plain terms
Infinity heat exchangers commonly carry a longer warranty than the balance of the unit. Annual servicing and licensed installation are usually required for a claim.
Parts we carry
Igniters, flame rods, water valves, filters and error-code diagnostics for Infinity units.
Typical lifespan
A well-installed Rinnai Infinity commonly runs 15–20 years, considerably longer than a storage tank, provided the inlet filter is kept clear and gas supply is correctly sized.
Typically a gas supply problem, a dirty igniter or a failed flame rod. On LPG homes out through Humpty Doo and Howard Springs it is often simply an empty or incorrectly changed-over bottle, which is worth ruling out before booking.
Error code 12 — flame failure
The unit lights then drops out. Usually gas pressure, a partially blocked burner, or a flue restriction on a unit fitted in a tight side passage.
Cold water sandwich
Short bursts of cold mid-shower on older Infinity units. Frequently low flow through a clogged inlet filter or a mixer tap not drawing enough water to hold the burner on.
Corrosion and insect ingress
A genuine Darwin issue. Wet-season humidity, salt air and geckos or ants getting into the burner compartment cause more Infinity faults here than anything mechanical. Units on exposed coastal walls benefit from a sheltered position.
When replacing beats repairing
Heat exchanger failure on an out-of-warranty Infinity is the point where replacement usually wins; almost everything else — igniters, valves, sensors, filters — is economically repairable.
