Electric Cylinder FAQs

Electric cylinder replacements start from $2,500 + GST installed. The final price depends on the cylinder size, whether any electrical or pipework upgrades are needed, and access at your property. Most jobs can be quoted from a few photos, with a fixed price confirmed before we start, so there are no surprises.

As a rough guide, cylinder size follows household size: a 135–180L cylinder suits a 1–3 person home, and 250–300L suits larger or busier households of 4 or more. It also depends on your hot water habits, so if you’re unsure, send us a few details and we’ll recommend the right size for your home.

Most standard replacements are completed within a day. For urgent jobs, we offer same-day or next-day service where availability allows.

A low-pressure cylinder relies on gravity, which gives gentler flow and weaker shower pressure. A mains-pressure cylinder runs at the same pressure as your cold taps, giving stronger, more even hot water throughout the home. Most modern replacements are mains pressure for better performance, and we can advise whether your home is suited to an upgrade.

Common signs include leaking, rusty water, running out of hot water, higher power bills or a cylinder that’s 15–20+ years old. If you’re unsure, we can assess it and let you know whether repair or replacement makes more sense.

Yes. We offer same-day and next-day hot water cylinder replacements across Auckland, subject to availability. Send us a few photos of your existing system and we’ll let you know how quickly we can help.

Yes. In most cases we can provide a fixed-price quote from a few photos of your existing cylinder and surrounding area. If we need anything else, we’ll let you know.

This depends on the number of people in your home and your typical hot water use. We’ll recommend the right size for your household rather than simply replacing your existing cylinder like-for-like.
