Hot Water Cylinder Services in Onehunga
Onehunga has a real mix of housing — character villas from the 1900s-1930s, state housing from the 1940s-60s, and modern infill townhouses. That means we see every type of hot water system, from original low-pressure electric cylinders in older homes to modern mains pressure setups in new builds. We're in the area regularly around Onehunga Mall, Church Street, Princes Street, and down towards Onehunga Bay and Te Papapa.
Many of the older villas have challenging access for cylinder replacement — tight cupboards, narrow hallways, cylinders tucked under stairs. We've done plenty of these and know how to get the job done without damaging your home. As a certified plumber and gasfitter, we handle both the water and gas side — no need to book a second tradesman.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a hot water cylinder replacement cost in Onehunga?
It depends on the type (electric vs gas, low pressure vs mains pressure) and accessibility — villa cylinder cupboards can add time. 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. Many Onehunga homeowners upgrading their villas are choosing continuous flow to free up cupboard space. 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.
