No. A like-for-like replacement does not require building consent. If you are changing from electric to gas or relocating the cylinder, check with your local council.
Yes, in most cases. Call 0800 322 322 before 9am and we will do our best to get it done that day.
Gas is cheaper to run than electric in most Auckland homes. If you already have a gas connection, switching makes sense. We can advise on the best option for your situation.
