In recent years, EECA (Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority*) have reported that too many electric hot water cylinders have failed testing. Maxey are pleased to announce that none of the Rheem hot water cylinders failed, and that our confidence in Rheem is warranted.
EECA is disappointed and concerned about the number of electric hot water cylinders sold in New Zealand that have failed energy efficiency testing and are not meeting manufacturers' claims.
EECA even went as far as publishing which brands and models passed and which failed. Interestingly, two suppliers have stopped offering four cylinder models for sale, and a prosecution is being taken against a manufacturer. One further investigation is ongoing.
Rheem passed with flying colours
The good news is that the Rheem hot water cylinders used in the trial passed with flying colours, and no further action was required by EECA. Maxey Plumbing & Gas Ltd are proud to be Wellington's newest Rheem Service Centre, and supply Rheem hot water cylinders and Rheem gas hot water systems throughout Wellington.
Why is this important? About 70,000 electric hot water cylinders are sold each year in New Zealand and hot water makes up about 30% amount of the average energy bill - about $600 a year. An inefficient cylinder is costing each household up to $1,240 over the life of the cylinder (about 20 years) at current energy prices.
