Case Study 1: Hot Water (Residential)
It’s never nice to run out of hot water, and why should you if you don’t have to? This case study shows you how getting a continuous flow hot water heater can put an end to cold showers.

Client:
Cindy Ferrand, Homeowner
Problem:
Even with only four people living in Cindy’s house, hot water was always running out and cold showers were a frequent occurrence. When a family party prompted a three-week visit from 14 overseas relatives, she knew the situation needed to be resolved quickly.
Solution:
The family was already on gas so all they had to do was install a continuous flow water heating system to replace their hot water cylinder.

Product:
Infinity 20 continuous flow water heating system.
Benefits:

• Plumbing World arranged it all. It was an easy, hassle-free installation process.
• A range of continuous flow options is available to suit differing homeowner needs.
• Hot water is available instantly when needed.
• You can shower for as long as you like and the hot water never runs out.
• Total control over water temperature. You can set it to a temperature that suits the household and protects young children from overly hot water.

And what did Cindy have to say about it?
‘I love gas. It’s just so instant, it’s brilliant. And you can control the heat easily. With continuous hot water, it’s on when you need it and off when you don’t.’
Cindy Ferrand, Homeowner

Case Study 2: Central Heating (Residential)
During winter it’s nice when you’re all warm and cosy in the living room or bedroom. But don’t you hate the cold when you move into the kitchen or bathroom? This case study shows you how to warm your entire home.

Moneen Poisson, Homeowner
Problem:
The cold winters. Moneen’s family lives in a 1930s bungalow located in a new subdivision surrounded by a bush reserve. Though their gas fire was great at heating a single area, living comfortably in the house during the colder months was difficult. The dampness was also an issue.
Solution:
Central heating. A whole-home heating solution to provide all-encompassing warmth throughout the entire home.

Product:
Complete Heat Ltd recommended installation of a Brivis high efficiency 30 Kilo Watt central heating furnace with 16 heating outlets; and a thermostatically operated zone damper to manage the household’s heating requirements.
Benefits:

• The system was installed in less than two days. The installation team was really efficient, polite, knowledgeable and left the house spotless.
• The entire house is cosy all year round.
• We can program the system to turn on 30 minutes before the household wakes, off when the family leave the house, on again late afternoon before everyone arrives home, and off when the family is in bed.
• The summer fan can be run to blow fresh, cool air throughout the home during the warmer months.

And what did Moneen have to say about it?
‘It was like day and night. It gets quite a bit colder out here in the bush, not like the city. I can’t tell you how much easier it is to live in winter. Our ensuite is enormous - it used to be a bedroom - and in winter it was too big and too cold. Now it is fabulous.’

Case Study 3: Hot Water (Business)

All Gas Solutions
Client:
Kumeu River Wines Limited

Problem:
Their 40 year old diesel-fired steam generator was starting to falter, and the ongoing maintenance was becoming a major problem.
Challenge:
The gas main was over 400 metres away so it looked like gas wouldn’t be an option.
Solution:
All Gas Solutions made it possible to connect to the gas main after consulting with Vector, outlining the requirements on site, in order for Vector to make a decision to extend the main.
Product:
Infinity continuous flow water heating systems.

Benefits:

• Energy efficient. Gas was more efficient to heat water than generating steam to heat water. Being able to set different temperatures for different tasks allowed them to optimise their energy use.
• Cost effective. Competitive pricing for capital expenditure, and significantly lower ongoing costs.
• Environmentally friendly. Gas is cleaner than diesel.
• Low maintenance.
• On-demand water heating when and as required.
• Automatic equipment requiring no start-up procedure or downtime.

And what did they have to say about it?

‘All Gas Solutions made the whole installation and connection very easy and without any major disruption. It is all extremely convenient and a pleasure to use.’
