Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a hot water cylinder replacement cost in Orakei?
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. Many Orakei homeowners are upgrading to continuous flow during renovation projects. 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.
