Reduce your facility’s running costs and carbon footprint with Q-ton; the next generation hot water solution.

As energy costs continue to rise and environmental sustainability becomes a key focus for the sector, operators are looking at ways to reduce both their running costs and carbon footprint.

This is where Q-ton can assist. Q-ton is a high-efficiency commercial hot water system specifically designed for high-demand environments such as aged care homes. It reliably delivers sanitary-grade hot water in temperatures as low as -25°C while offering significant reductions in energy usage compared to inefficient water heating systems like gas boilers and electric heaters.

As well as offering huge reductions in running costs and a short payback period, Q-ton is much more environmentally friendly, producing 70% fewer emissions than high polluting, gas and electric systems. This helps businesses strengthen their ESG credentials and achieve sustainability goals, while also reducing their reliance on expensive natural gas, which is gradually being phased out by several state governments.

Proven Solution for Warrigal Aged Care

Faced with the high operating costs, ongoing maintenance and inefficiencies associated with their existing gas hot water system Warrigal sought a solution for their Wollongong aged care home that could reduce their energy consumption and environmental impact while also enhancing the living standards of its residents.

The Q-ton provided exactly what they needed—an eco-friendly, cost-effective system that could deliver reliable, sanitary-grade hot water and be easily retrofitted into their facility. Additionally, its inbuilt legionella sanitary cycle guarantees safe water for residents making it perfect for aged care homes.

According to Penelope Morton, Warrigal’s Sustainability Coordinator, “Warrigal has been transitioning away from fossil fuels, so this is another important step for the Organisation”.

Q-ton has helped Warrigal;

• Lower Operating Costs: Q-ton’s industry leading efficiency has reduced their energy usage, leading to major cost savings.

• Increase Sustainability: Warrigal has reduced their carbon emissions, aligning with their mission to boost their sustainability. As Penelope adds, “The new system is much more sustainable and allows more of our energy needs to be offset by renewables”.

• Improve Reliability: Q-ton ensures a consistent supply of hot water, even during peak demand periods, Penelope notes, “These Q-ton systems have been a much more reliable source of hot water for the facility and we’ve seen a significant reduction in system breakdowns and hot water outages for our residents”.
