Piecing it together
How Rinnai builds locally for trade and customers
Tradies install them every day in new builds, both residential and commercial.
But how do heat pumps, AC units and other HVAC equipment go from scattered components into tradies’ hands?
Well, the team at The Tradie ventured down to Rinnai’s main factory and warehouse in Braeside, Melbourne to see what goes behind making some of the best Hot Water & HVAC units on the market.
A TO Z
Rinnai has two large (size) manufacturing facilities & warehouses at the Braeside site, both dedicated to assembling, testing and packing Rinnai units, as well as their other well-known brands like Brivis & APAC.
Rinnai Product Planning & Distribution Group Manager, Patrick Corcoran explained just how much goes into building each product Rinnai has.
This includes its electric hot water tanks and new locally manufactured Enviroflo AR Series heat pump water heaters, which start as a collection of sheet metal, wires and buttons.
