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 Wi-Fi 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 Wi-Fi 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 is available for use with both natural gas and
LPG.
Rinnai UK will be launching this innovation plus several other
cutting-edge appliances during 2019.
The Rinnai Corporation was founded in Nagoya, Japan in 1819 and
today operates in 17 nations and regions around the world with
sales of kitchen appliances, air conditioners, hot water heating &
home heating units in over 80 countries.
Says Rinnai UK Managing Director Tony Gittings, “The company has
evolved and developed into a group that produces a diversity of
products and services that directly benefit ordinary people in their
daily lives.
The Rinnai Trust Partnership will include comprehensive training and
real-time instant-response technical support.
“We will also be initiating a complete programme of benefits -
including liveried work clothing, suitable for all the seasons, plus
individualised marketing and business support,” adds Tony Gittings.
Rinnai, global leaders in continuous flow hot water heating products
and systems, recently introduced 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.
“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 and would only launch when we had a proven system.
This follows the other significant corporate developments on the
global presence of Rinnai - the issuing of a new logo and a new
brand statement – ‘A Healthier Way of Living’.

conditions, and the energy situation of each country around the
world. The three-year period is aiming at connecting the first century
to the next one. The theme will be named, ‘Connected in passion for
the next 100 years.”
