Luxury Apartments – Woodlands WA

The Challenge: A new boutique multi-residential development in a northern suburb of Perth required a reliable and energy-efficient hot water system to service seven luxury apartments. Bromic was briefed to deliver a compact system that would ensure reliable hot water performance during peak usage periods across multiple dwellings, while adhering to strict safety and compliance requirements. Meeting the Built Environment Sector Plan (part of the Net Zero plan) meant eliminating reliance on gas infrastructure and reducing whole-of-life maintenance demands – effectively future-proofing the development.

Our Solution

Bromic’s HF-318 and HF-327 3-Phase Instantaneous Electric Water Heaters provided a compact, tankless solution that met the project’s space and efficiency needs. These units heat water only as needed, eliminating standby energy losses and minimising water wastage and dead legs, improving the efficiency of the entire building.

WaterMarked certified to AS/NZS 3498 (WM 40268), the units deliver compliance peace of mind, and safe and consistent hot water delivery. Built-in overcurrent and overload protection safeguards internal components and ensures safe operation.

Instant hot water performance scales with inlet temperature and demand requirements, with electronic temperature control ensuring consistent delivery. Pre-set to 50°C, the units provide resident-safe hot water without the need for a separate tempering valve, reducing installation costs and complexity.

The efficient decentralised design simplified maintenance with no tanks to corrode, no Legionella risk and no complex monitoring requirements. Individual units can be serviced or replaced without impacting supply to the entire building, supporting reliability and lower lifecycle costs.

Outcomes & Benefits

Simplified Installation & Design

The wall mounted fully electric, tankless design has removed the need for gas infrastructure, flues, or bulky storage tanks streamlining installation and freeing up valuable floor space for apartments and amenities.

Energy Efficiency

Heating on demand eliminates standby losses and minimises wasted cold water at outlets. Energy use is now lowered, bringing significant cost savings to the building.

Safe & Compliant

Pre-set 50 °C units with electronic temperature controls are certified to AS/NZS 3498 and installed in accordance with AS/NZS 3500, providing consistent, safe hot water delivery across all apartment fixtures.

Low Maintenance & Reliable

Without having to worry about storage tanks that can corrode or accumulate sediment, any risk of leaks, Legionella growth, or system-wide downtime has been eliminated. The decentralised solution has allowed individual apartments to be serviced or replaced without interrupting hot water across the entire development.

Future Proof

Compact, efficient, and fully electric, the solution is aligned with the industry’s shift away from gas, providing a sustainable and regulation-ready option for multi-residential projects.
