Centralised plant, ring-main systems, individual lot heaters and heat pump upgrades for Illawarra strata buildings. Repair, replacement, energy upgrades and AS 4032.1 TMV compliance — fully documented for your owners corporation.
Strata hot water systems require specialised plumbing and gas fitting expertise that goes well beyond standard residential hot water work. Strata buildings in the Illawarra typically use one of three configurations: centralised hot water plant where a bank of gas continuous flow heaters or large storage tanks supplies all lots through a circulating ring-main system, semi-centralised systems where small groups of lots share a hot water unit, or fully decentralised systems where each lot has its own individual hot water heater. Each configuration has different responsibility splits between the owners corporation and lot owners under the NSW Strata Schemes Management Act 2015. Plumbing Creations services every type of strata hot water system across Wollongong, Kiama, Shellharbour and the greater Illawarra region — including centralised gas continuous flow banks (Rinnai Infinity, Rheem, Bosch), centralised storage systems, ring-main circulation pumps and balance valves, individual lot electric and gas storage units, continuous flow systems, heat pump installations (Sanden, Reclaim, Stiebel Eltron, Quantum), solar hot water systems with electric or gas boost, and thermostatic mixing valves required under AS 4032.1. Heat pump upgrades for both individual and centralised applications attract significant rebates under the NSW Energy Savings Scheme — we calculate and apply rebates on your behalf so the net cost to the owners corporation is properly understood at AGM. Annual TMV testing required under AS 4032.1 is included in all our strata maintenance plans, with calibration certificates submitted directly to your strata manager.
