The Importance of Quality Plumbing

Although often overlooked, your home’s plumbing system plays a critical role in your family’s quality of life. Whether it's a new installation or routine maintenance, it’s essential to have plumbing work done by qualified professionals who are committed to delivering top-quality service.


A well-designed, installed, and maintained plumbing system offers:

From Electric to Gas – Hot Water Made Easy

Gas Infinity (Continuous Flow)

For endless hot water on demand, gas infinity systems are hard to beat. Instead of storing hot water in a cylinder, these systems heat water instantly as you need it. That means no running out during long showers or busy mornings, plus they can be highly efficient as they only use energy when the tap is turned on.

Hot Water Heat Pumps (Split & Combined)

For energy-conscious households, hot water heat pumps offer one of the most efficient solutions available. Using the same technology as a heat pump for space heating, these systems draw energy from the air to heat your water, using far less electricity than a traditional cylinder. They are available in split systems (separate tank and heat pump unit) or combined units (all-in-one design), making them flexible for different property layouts.

Gas Hot Water Cylinders

Gas-fired hot water cylinders provide a fast and efficient way to heat your water, with the added benefit of resilience during electricity outages. They are a strong option for homes that want reliable storage systems with the responsiveness of gas heating.

Electric Hot Water Cylinders (Mains & Low Pressure)

Electric hot water cylinders remain one of the most common options in New Zealand homes. Mains pressure systems provide strong, consistent water flow for modern living, while low-pressure cylinders are still found in older houses and can be more budget-friendly. Both options are reliable and easy to maintain, making them a practical choice for many households.

Outdoor Electric Hot Water

Outdoor electric cylinders are a smart way to free up valuable indoor space while still enjoying the reliability of electric heating. These units are built to withstand the elements and can be tucked neatly outside, keeping your home tidy inside while still providing dependable hot water.
