What our customers say
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to replace a hot water cylinder in Wellington?
The cost of a mains pressure cylinder replacement typically starts $4,000 (installed) depending on the size of the unit and whether you are upgrading from low to mains pressure. We provide fixed, upfront quotes after a site inspection so you never have to worry about "bill shock."
Can I upgrade my old low-pressure system to mains pressure?
Yes. Upgrading to a mains pressure cylinder is one of the best ways to improve your home's value and comfort. It allows for stronger showers and the ability to run multiple taps at once without a drop in pressure. Our team can assess your existing pipework to ensure a seamless transition.
Do you offer emergency hot water repairs in the Hutt Valley and Porirua?
Absolutely. We have vans on the road daily across Wellington, including the CBD, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, and Porirua. If your cylinder is leaking or you have no hot water, we prioritise your call to get your system back online as quickly as possible.
How long should a hot water cylinder last in New Zealand?
A well-maintained hot water cylinder usually lasts between 15 and 20 years. If your unit is over a decade old or you notice signs of corrosion, it is often more cost-effective to replace it with a high-efficiency model before a major leak occurs.
How long does a hot water cylinder installation take?
A standard replacement usually takes 6+ hours. A full mains pressure hot water cylinder installation in Wellington may take a full day.
