Planning guide · Identify individual and shared services before selecting your upgrade.

Confirm which equipment serves your home

Look at the current hot water unit, if there is one, and note whether you can identify a unit dedicated to your dwelling. If hot water comes from shared equipment, ask the building manager how the service is arranged. Replacing a private tank and altering a central hot water system are different decisions; our heat pump enquiry should start with that distinction.

Make an RO assessment easy to understand

For a kitchen-only goal, show the full under-sink space and tell us whether you own or rent. Explain what storage you need to keep and whether the benchtop already has a suitable drinking-tap position. A compact-looking product photograph does not establish that a unit will fit your actual cabinet or leave enough room for maintenance.

Set the boundary of whole-home treatment

For whole-home filtration, ask where the supply to your own home can be treated. The assessment should identify what outlets would be included. Do not infer coverage from the location of a visible meter alone. If a proposed change affects shared areas or services, agree on the approval pathway before scheduling work.

Have these ready for your enquiry

Can I enquire if I rent?

Yes, you can ask about options. Permission to change the property is a separate matter, and any required owner or strata approvals should be resolved before installation.
