Hot Water System Auckland Service
We install, upgrade and service hot water systems across Auckland for homes and rental properties. If you’re looking to replace or repair a hot water system Auckland-wide, contact us to discuss options or view our fully installed pricing.
how to choose your hot water system
Choosing a hot water system starts with how your household uses hot water and where the unit can be installed. Energy rating labels offer a useful comparison, with higher star ratings generally indicating better efficiency, but they’re only one factor.
Key considerations include:
- Whether electric, gas or solar is the right fit
- Installation location and space available
- Upfront installation cost versus running costs
- Household size and hot water demand
Gas and solar systems can involve higher installation costs but can reduce ongoing energy use over time. Electric systems usually cost less to install and can serve a wider range of properties.
To talk through your options and narrow things down, call 0800 520 400 or request a quote and we’ll help you choose a system that fits your home.
gas hot water systems
Gas hot water systems are a common choice for households looking for fast recovery and a consistent supply. Our gas hot water Auckland installations include both storage and continuous flow systems.
Key features include:
- Faster heat recovery than electric systems
- Smaller or no storage tank required
- Available as natural gas or LPG
- External installation options free up indoor space
Continuous flow systems, such as Rinnai Infinity and Thermann units, heat water on demand and only use gas when hot water is required. Installation may cost more than electric systems, but running costs are often lower over time.
Electric Hot Water Cylinders
Electric cylinders remain a practical option for many Auckland homes, particularly where gas is unavailable. We install and service mains pressure and low-pressure electric systems in a range of capacities.
Electric system options include:
- Mains or low pressure
- Large capacity
- Under-bench models available
Modern electric cylinders offer improved insulation and thermostat control compared to older models. When replacing a cylinder, current regulations require appropriate trays and drainage, which we factor into every installation.
solar hot water
Solar hot water systems help reduce ongoing energy use by supporting an existing hot water cylinder. These systems use roof-mounted panels to capture heat from the sun and transfer it to the water supply.
Solar system features include:
- Works alongside gas or electric boost systems
- Reduces reliance on grid energy
- Best for homes with good sun exposure
During low sunlight periods, the boost system ensures water reaches the required temperature. When considering solar, we look at roof space, cylinder location and household demand to determine whether it’s a suitable option.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs
How long does a hot water cylinder last?
Most hot water cylinders last between 10 and 15 years, depending on water quality and maintenance. If your system is leaking or struggling to keep up, it may be time to consider replacement.
Why is my hot water brown or discoloured?
Discoloured hot water often points to internal cylinder corrosion or sediment build-up. We can inspect the system and advise whether servicing or replacement is required.

Running costs depend on household size and usage. Gas systems often cost more to install but can be cheaper to run, while electric systems usually have lower upfront costs.
