Rinnai And The Art Of Zen + Zen Plus

Rinnai, global leaders in continuous flow hot water heating products
and systems, is introducing the Zen and Zen Plus home hot water &
heating system which marries established and proven manufacture
durability with new technologies to offer great energy efficiencies,
user control and, importantly, unparalleled level of comfort.

Rinnai UK will be launching this innovation plus several other
cutting-edge appliances during 2019.

The Rinnai Zen and Zen
Plus system will increase
comfort and reduce
energy usage whilst
also providing a highly
economically solution
for today’s changing
marketplace.

‘Our core expertise is the mass production of long-term reliable
combustion products with advanced technologies – we are a global
leader and make over 2 million water heating units every year for
domestic, residential and commercial applications. We have been
researching and monitoring the UK domestic heating market for
several years until we had a proven system. That time is now, and
we are offering hot water heating units together with a superior
performance combi boiler in 24, 29- and 35-kW outputs,’ says Chris
Goggin, head of Rinnai UK operations.

‘We are not launching into the mass UK boiler market – that is,
in our view, a saturated and oversubscribed market which is in

the throes of a major upheaval in its structure due to the advent

of online direct sales platforms. We are offering something very

different. And we are aiming to serve a market sector previously

overlooked and almost ignored - the provision of luxury levels of

hot water at affordable sums to the middle and top end of the

marketplace.

‘Another major difference with the Rinnai Zen & Zen Plus is that

the route to market is with installers. We are committed to working

with installers as our route to market. The installer is still the major

player and, in our view, always will be.

Some of the features of Zen & Zen Plus are: IOT controller as

standard; Fast heating mode; DHW pre-heat function - saving wasted

water; Energy monitor function allows user to monitor energy usage;

flue runs up to 30 meters, Rinnai boiler App for android and IOS;

constant temperature-accurate hot water delivery at continuous flow

rates.

There is also smart Wifi controller and App benefits; The Rinnai app

seamlessly connects to the controller in the property; the user can

control the boiler remotely adjusting temperature, setting weekly

and daily programmes, receiving alarm functions, monitor energy

usage and set limits. The Wifi and boiler controller also uses GPS

from the user’s mobile to bring on the heat when you are getting

close to home to ensure the house is warm when you arrive.

Rinnai Zen & Zen Plus are available for use with both natural gas

and LPG. http://www.rinnaiuk.com
