Hot Water Cylinder Services in Ellerslie
Ellerslie's housing stock is mostly 1920s-1960s character homes, villas, and bungalows — which means a lot of aging hot water cylinders well past their 15-20 year lifespan. We see failing cylinders every week along Main Highway, Ladies Mile, and the streets off Michaels Avenue near the Ellerslie shops.
Many Ellerslie homes are on reticulated gas, which opens up options for gas cylinders and continuous flow systems. As a certified plumber and gasfitter, we handle both the water and gas side in one visit — no need to book a second tradesman. We're in the area regularly, covering Ellerslie, Greenlane, and One Tree Hill.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a hot water cylinder replacement cost in Ellerslie?
It depends on the type (electric vs gas, low pressure vs mains pressure) and accessibility. We quote on-site before starting — no guesswork. Give us a call and we'll give you a ballpark over the phone.
Should I go cylinder or continuous flow?
Depends on your household. Continuous flow (like Rinnai Infinity) gives endless hot water and suits larger families. Cylinders are simpler and cheaper upfront. Ellerslie has reticulated gas, so both options work well here. We'll help you decide.
Can you do a same-day replacement?
In most cases, yes. Common cylinder sizes and Rinnai units are readily available from our suppliers. If your old one has failed, we'll get you back in hot water the same day where possible.
Do I need a gasfitter for a gas hot water system?
Yes — by law, only a certified gasfitter can install, repair, or service gas appliances. We're both a registered plumber and certified gasfitter, so we handle the whole job.
