Poor Design

published

Hello All, I am an installer. Today I have done second installation of rennai and I would not recommend to buy this unit. Where to start 1) electrical termination arrangements are very poor and diffult to make proper connection without boot laces . Even if u use boot laces risk of losing screws inside the unit.hard to install. 2) flare nuts are poor design and can easily break the copper flare. Last unit had to go through the warranty process I am hopping this one too.will update you soon. BR U

STILL NOT WORKING

published

Had 2nd Rinnai unit fitted friday 18th of oct under warranty by tech that rinnai organised
surprise! it does not work either. This one has a different fault to the first one, tech thinks there is a blockage
stopping the refrigerant so now we have a really expensive fan. maybe the third time will be the charm
Quality control might be a good idea to look into guys ?
Still not happy and its going to be 34 degrees on thursday maybe you could send me a couple of ice blocks .
When i get one that works i will write a better review until then thanks RINNAI.

Very good value for money

published

Bought this 7.0kW system for an open living/dining room which is about 50 square metres. Throughout summer it performed very well, cooled down the entire living space within a matter of 10 minutes. Fairly quiet, nice looking design and was one of the cheapest air cons going around.

Purchased in November 2021 at Harvey Norman for $1,264.00.

Perfect for small room

published

Purchased in November from Harvey Norman for bedroom use. 2.5KW easily cooled down room on over 40+° days over summer. Great energy rating. We generally set at 22° on medium fan and it’s perfect. Didn’t make a huge impact on our energy bills. Quick to turn on and cool. Easy remote functions with very easy timer!!!
Just started using heat setting to warm room up. Warms up in ok time. We just close door on colder nights. Timer function great to set so not on all night.
Very quiet. Temperature lights up on unit.
Installed through Harvey Norman during installation special. Small unit outside.
Great brand. Would purchase a Rinnai again.

faulty after 2 weeks

published

purchased brand new, stopped working 2 weeks after install with minimal use.
Waited for 3 weeks for technician to visit and confirm it was faulty. the service team at 1st care now wants me to pay an installer to remove the unit so they can replace the faulty part then pay out of pocket again to have it installed. Will escalate this to ACCC

the only communication received to date is a "final notice" for $299. The unit is not even fixed! Matter is currently with consumer affairs for breach of consumer law.

Installed but wifi not working

published

Aircon cooling and fan works fine, no complaints there (as yet). But the Wifi control feature can not be configured or detected. I'll wait to hear back from Rinnai about any possible fixes, but I suspect the aircon is faulty. I use wifi-sniffing tools on my laptop and can't find any new wifi access point through which an aircon could be configured. Otherwise, the unit takes 30seconds to turn off once it has been running, which seems a little bit weird. Good thing about wall-unit is that it is smaller in length than equivalent sized units from other manufactures.

HSNRQ70B (7.0kW)

Hello, we are thinking about buying two HSNRQ70B from Harvey Norman, just reading the reviews there are some horrid reviews. Is it correct if there is a warranty issue the purchaser is charged a call out fee by a technician and might be waiting months for the unit to be fixed.

I have no idea. But the company who sold you the unit usually is responsible for working with their supplier on warranty issues. Why not direct your question to the department of fair trade. I have the same issue with my solar panels. I have to pay travel $300 to get their technician out to replace a panel. I paid $66 in power this term....and my aircon goes all day and is usually turned off at 6pm.

HSNRQ70B (7.0kW)

My 6mth old unit is suddenly not heating well. Air coming out is now only mildly warm but barely making a difference to house temperature . Previously warmed house well. Setting higher temp doesn’t make any difference. Fan is blowing but like a mild cool breeze. Set heating temp at 26 Room ran all night room temp only at 15 is only about 20sqm space.

Q Series

I recently had a 3.5kw q series installed. Functions awesomely so far considering i was so sceptical of buying this brand. If all goes well i will be replacing 4 more box aircons with splits this year in my home. I only have one problem and its really doing my head in, and from research its doing the same to many others. Wifi worked great u til my modem failed. Upon replacement, its impossible to reconnect. I go through all the procedures only to get configuration failed message. I did read somewhere that there should be a wifi signal illuminated indicator on the wall unit, but i dont see anything. Could it be, rinnais server still has my old modem details in its system and cant override with a new one? I wont be holding my breath getting any kind of prompt reply or call back from them as i read everywhere, their after sales service is poor.

Hi Craig, Thank you for your question. Generally with Wifi connected products there can be a range of considerations outside of the product (internet provider, router settings,, amount of devices connected) which can cause connectivity issues. In the first instance, we would suggest that you try deleting the app from your mobile completely, resinstall, then reconnect to your unit.

Thank you
Rinnai Australia

Craig S.

That was the first thing i did. I deleted the app, rebooted the phone and even switched the unit off at the main switch. One thing i cant be definitive of, is whether the inside unit should be showing an illuminated wifi signal indicator. That may help me with my troubleshooting. I have not opened the unit. Does it have a separate wifi dongle that maybe i could unplug and reconnect? Or it it integral with the units circuitboard.
