Rinnai Enviroflo B-Series 215L Heat Pump Installation Brisbane & Gold Coast
JR Gas & Water supplies and installs the Rinnai Enviroflo B-Series 215L Heat Pump across eligible Brisbane, Gold Coast and surrounding South East Queensland service areas where remaining stock is available.
The B-Series model is EHPS215VM, an integrated 215 litre air-source heat pump hot water system originally designed as a more efficient replacement for conventional electric storage hot water.
The refrigeration module, storage cylinder, controller and electric backup element are combined into one outdoor appliance. Rinnai designed the B-Series for households of up to approximately four people, with Wi-Fi timer functionality, R290 refrigerant, automatic disinfection, defrost control and several selectable operating modes.

Approximately 46dB(A) under Rinnai's published specification.
Important: The Rinnai B-Series 215L Is Discontinued
Rinnai now officially lists the Enviroflo B-Series 215L as discontinued.
JR has also moved the B-Series into its discontinued hot-water collection, although remaining or existing stock may still appear on the website.
This page therefore applies specifically to the legacy EHPS215VM B-Series. It should not be used as the specification page for a newer Rinnai Enviroflo product simply because both systems are heat pumps.
If B-Series stock is no longer available at the time of purchase, a current heat-pump system should be compared separately rather than automatically substituting a newer model while retaining the specifications on this page.
Who Is the Rinnai Enviroflo B-Series 215L Best For?
Replacing Electric Storage
The B-Series was specifically positioned as an efficiency-focused alternative to conventional electric storage water heating.
Smaller Family Homes
Rinnai's sizing guide places the 215L system at up to four people, approximately two bathrooms and three bedrooms.
Customers Wanting an Integrated Unit
The refrigeration module and tank are combined into one appliance rather than using a separate storage tank and outdoor heat-pump module.
PRODUCT SUITABILITY
Is the Rinnai B-Series 215L Right for My Home?
A Good Choice If...
You are replacing electric storage, have moderate hot-water demand and have a suitable outdoor position with enough airflow, drainage and access for an integrated heat pump.
Consider Another Option If...
You need more stored hot water than a four-person-class system is intended to provide, want a current-production model or require a system with lower published noise or different control functionality.
JR Should Check First If...
You are converting from gas or solar, need to relocate the hot-water system, have restricted drainage or airflow or are unsure whether the existing electrical arrangement suits the B-Series.
How Many People Does the Rinnai B-Series 215L Suit?
Rinnai originally positioned the B-Series 215L for up to approximately four people, with a guide of around two bathrooms and three bedrooms.
That should still be treated as a sizing guide rather than a guarantee. Shower duration, baths, simultaneous bathroom use and fixture flow rates all affect real household demand.
The system combines a 215L stored-water reserve with heat-pump recovery and a built-in electric element.
Households regularly operating above the practical limits of a four-person-class system should compare a larger current heat pump rather than selecting the B-Series solely on price or remaining availability.
How Does the Rinnai Enviroflo B-Series Work?
The B-Series is an air-source heat-pump water heater. The refrigeration module absorbs thermal energy from the outdoor air and transfers that energy into the stored water.
The system uses R290 refrigerant, with the compressor, evaporator and refrigeration components integrated into the top of the appliance.
Rinnai publishes approximately 3.6kW heat-pump heating output at a test condition of 32.6°C ambient air and 21.1°C incoming water.
The system also has a 2.1kW electric heating element. This allows the control system to supplement or replace heat-pump heating when required by the selected operating mode or ambient conditions.
B-Series Operating Modes
Rinnai designed the B-Series with four main operating strategies so customers could balance recovery speed and energy use.
Standard
Normal system operation managed by the controller to maintain hot-water availability.
ECO
Prioritises efficient heat-pump operation where conditions and demand allow.
Hybrid
Allows heat-pump and electric-element operation to work together where faster recovery is required.
Electric
Uses electric-element heating rather than normal heat-pump operation when required.
Key Features of the Rinnai Enviroflo B-Series 215L
215L Integrated Storage
The tank and refrigeration module are combined into a single outdoor hot-water appliance.
R290 Refrigerant
Rinnai specifies approximately 380g of R290 refrigerant in the B-Series.
Wi-Fi Timer
A Wi-Fi timer function allows heating periods to be scheduled around household needs, tariff windows or rooftop-solar production.
Electric Backup Element
The integrated 2.1kW electric element provides supplementary or alternative water heating.
Auto Disinfection
The controller includes automatic disinfection functionality intended to reduce the potential growth of Legionella.
Defrost Control
An anti-frost and defrost function protects the evaporator during colder operating conditions.

Rinnai's COP 7.6 and 3.6kW heat-output figures are measured at approximately 32.6°C ambient air and 21.1°C incoming water. These test values should not be presented as fixed performance under every real-world condition.
How Efficient Is the Rinnai Enviroflo B-Series?
Rinnai originally promoted the B-Series as using up to approximately 70% less energy than a standard electric water heater of the same capacity under its nominated AS/NZS 4234 comparison.
That comparison was based on a 215L Enviroflo operating under peak winter load in Zone 1. Rinnai explicitly notes that actual savings vary with climate zone, the water heater being replaced, household hot-water consumption and energy tariffs.
The published COP of 7.6 should also be treated as a test-condition figure rather than a fixed annual operating COP.
For homes with rooftop PV, scheduled daytime operation may allow a greater proportion of heat-pump electricity consumption to be supplied by onsite solar generation.
Wi-Fi Timer and Solar PV Compatibility
The B-Series includes a Wi-Fi-enabled timer function designed to control when the heat pump is allowed to operate.
This can be useful for customers wanting to schedule water heating through daytime rooftop-solar generation or suitable electricity-tariff periods.
The solar panels do not directly heat the stored water. Instead, the PV system supplies electricity that can be consumed by the heat pump while it operates.
The best timer strategy depends on household demand, PV-system size, other daytime electrical loads and the property's electricity tariff.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
What Is Required to Install the Rinnai B-Series 215L?
Suitable outdoor position for the integrated appliance
Adequate airflow around the upper refrigeration section
Stable and level supporting base
Access capable of accommodating a 620mm-wide appliance
Safe handling access for the 108kg empty system
Cold-water and hot-water connections
Applicable pressure-control valves
PTR relief discharge
Condensate drainage
Suitable electrical supply and outlet
Clear future service access
Location assessed for operational noise
Heat Pump Position, Airflow and Noise
The B-Series is an integrated heat pump, so the refrigeration module cannot be independently relocated away from the storage cylinder.
The complete appliance needs a location where the heat-pump section can draw in and discharge air without being boxed in by walls, fences, cabinetry or stored items.
Restricted airflow can reduce heat-pump performance and should be avoided.
The published noise level is approximately 46dB(A), so the installation position should also consider nearby bedrooms, neighbouring properties and outdoor entertaining areas.
What's Included With Rinnai B-Series 215L Installation?
Standard Replacement
Where the property qualifies for the selected JR package, installation can include supply of the B-Series, removal of the existing heater where included, positioning of the replacement and connection to suitable plumbing and electrical services.
Testing & Commissioning
The refrigeration circuit operation, electric element, controller, water connections, valves and drainage are checked before commissioning.
Possible Additional Work
Electrical alterations, new valves, pressure control, drainage improvements, relocation, pipework changes, access work or a new base can increase the installation scope.
How Much Does Rinnai Enviroflo B-Series 215L Installation Cost?
Current pricing and availability should be taken from JR's live product page while remaining B-Series stock exists.
The final Rinnai Enviroflo B-Series 215L installation cost depends on the existing hot-water system, access, electrical supply, water pressure, valves, drainage and whether the current location can accommodate an integrated heat pump.
A straightforward external electric-storage replacement can be simpler than a conversion from gas or roof-mounted solar or an installation requiring relocation.
Because Rinnai has discontinued the B-Series, stock availability should be confirmed before relying on historical pricing or promotional material.
BRISBANE INSTALLATION
Rinnai Enviroflo B-Series 215L Installation Brisbane
JR Gas & Water can install the Rinnai Enviroflo B-Series 215L in Brisbane while remaining product availability permits.
For an electric-storage replacement, JR checks the existing tank position, airflow, electrical supply, pressure-control arrangement and drainage before confirming whether the site suits the integrated heat pump.
The Rinnai four-person sizing guide can suit many smaller family homes, but actual household hot-water demand should still be considered.
Eligible service coverage extends across Greater Brisbane and surrounding areas including Logan, Ipswich, Redlands and Moreton Bay.
GOLD COAST INSTALLATION
Rinnai Enviroflo B-Series 215L Installation Gold Coast
JR Gas & Water can also install the Rinnai Enviroflo B-Series 215L on the Gold Coast where remaining stock and site conditions allow.
The integrated format can provide a practical upgrade from a conventional outdoor electric cylinder where there is enough space around the appliance for heat-pump airflow.
Condensate drainage needs to be considered alongside the normal hot-water relief discharge because heat pumps produce water during refrigeration operation.
JR can assess access, airflow, drainage, electrical supply and household demand before the final installation scope is confirmed.
Can the Rinnai B-Series 215L Replace My Existing Hot Water System?
Replacing Electric Storage
This is generally the most direct upgrade pathway where the existing outdoor location, power supply, plumbing and drainage are suitable.
Replacing Another Heat Pump
An existing heat-pump position can be useful, but appliance dimensions, electrical requirements, valves and drainage still need checking.
Replacing Gas Hot Water
A gas-to-heat-pump conversion can require new electrical work, plumbing alterations and licensed work to make redundant gas services safe.
Replacing Solar Hot Water
Solar-to-heat-pump conversions may require roof-system isolation or removal and changes to the existing solar plumbing.
Replacing a Smaller Cylinder
The 215L B-Series provides greater stored capacity than many compact electric tanks but also requires considerably more physical space.
Relocating the System
Relocation can require new plumbing, electrical cabling, drainage and base work and should be assessed separately.
