Terms and Conditions

Some of these below cost indications may be required for your specific installation and therefore will be included in the quote provided after the site visit. Nothing below is included in the costs advertised on the water heating specials page.

General

• All prices are for West Auckland installs only; additional travel charges may apply outside West Auckland.
• The cupboard door or opening must be big enough to remove the existing cylinder and fit the new cylinder or an additional charge may apply. Any shelving of items must be removed prior to work commencing.
• Supply and installation of a safe or drain tray. From $200+gst if possible to run drain from cylinder position. (This is mandatory for all new installations as per the building code but is unclear if required when a cylinder is swapped in the same location that complied with the building code prior to trays being mandatory).
  We recommend the installation of a safe tray as good practice for all internal installations but in some scenarios installing a safe tray may not be a viable option due to the level of difficulty/cost and appearance of what would need to be done to run the drain to a suitable location.
  If this is the case we always look at your other options like relocating the H.W.C outside, or under the house.
• Repair / Replacement of any tapware/piping due to Hot Water pressure increase (additional charge may apply if problems occur after the pressure has been upgraded).

Any electrical work required (Cost indications):

• Standard re wire-no material. $100+g.s.t.

• Wiring new external H.W.C, rewiring existing H.W.C or power supply for an instant gas unit. $350-$600+g.s.t. (If we arrange an electrician for this work it is on a charge up basis + 15% margin) You are welcome to arrange your own electrician on the install day.
