    Hot Water Cylinders Auckland, Repair and Replacement

    Mr Plumber are Auckland hot water cylinder specialists. We supply, install, repair and replace electric hot water cylinders, manufactured to meet New Zealand's energy performance standards.

    Most models are rated at a maximum of 1000 KPA and 1400 KPA pressures and can deliver more than 40 litres of heated water a minute, which is enough to meet the needs of most households. Mains pressure cylinders can run on both mains and low pressure systems.

    Standard sizes range from 15L to 400L. Current insulation standards keep the optimum temperature longer, saving you energy and electricity costs.

    Hot Water Cylinder Range

    We service, repair and replace every major hot water cylinder brand sold in New Zealand, including Rheem, Bosch, Rinnai, Mico and Reece cylinders. Whether you have an electric mains pressure cylinder, a low pressure cylinder or a gas storage cylinder, we will find the right replacement and have it installed quickly.

    If you are not sure which size or model suits your home, we will talk you through the options in plain English so you can choose with confidence.

    Heat Pump Hot Water Cylinders

    A heat pump hot water cylinder uses a refrigeration cycle to pull warmth from the surrounding air, which makes it about three times more efficient than a standard electric element. For most Auckland households that means lower power bills and a smaller carbon footprint, with the same reliable hot water you are used to.

    We supply, install and replace heat pump hot water cylinders from the leading New Zealand brands, and we will tell you honestly whether the upfront cost makes sense for your home or whether a standard cylinder is the smarter call.

    Cylinder Valves

    Hot water cylinder valves include an inlet isolating and non return valve for both low and mains pressure, a reducing or limiting valve to keep the supply pressure to a pre set maximum, and a temperature relief valve to make sure the water does not exceed 99 degrees C if the thermostat fails.

    A cold water relief valve is fitted to the inlet to relieve cold water under normal thermal expansion, saving energy. A tempering valve mixes heated water and cold water to deliver tempered water at around 55 degrees C to your hot tap. For solar hot water systems, we fit a solar control valve specifically designed for use in New Zealand.

    Why Choose Us For Hot Water

    HOT WATER BACK, FAST

    We carry the common sizes on the van and we know the difference between a faulty element and a dead cylinder, so you do not pay for a replacement you did not need.

    NO HOT WATER? CALL FIRST

    Often it is a faulty element or thermostat, not a dead cylinder. We will diagnose it on site so you do not pay for a replacement you did not need.

    SAME DAY REPLACEMENT WHERE POSSIBLE

    If your cylinder is past it, we carry common sizes on the van. Many replacements are done same day so you are not showering at the neighbour's tomorrow.

    SIZED FOR YOUR HOUSEHOLD

    From 15L for a sleepout to 400L for the big family. We help you pick the right size and pressure rating instead of guessing.

    TEMPERING VALVES DONE PROPERLY

    Hot water has to be stored hot to kill bugs but delivered safe at the tap. We fit and adjust the tempering valve correctly so nobody gets scalded.

    ELECTRIC, GAS OR SOLAR

    All three. We will talk through running costs, install costs and how each suits your home before you commit.

    WARRANTY YOU CAN ACTUALLY USE

    Cylinders are covered by the manufacturer warranty and our installation is guaranteed. If the cylinder is faulty later we come back and sort it.

    "The team was able to answer immediately and get a plumber on site in 3 hours. And I said it wasn't a rush. Fixing the issue required a spare part. They keep me advised of progress in getting it. A perfect job of communication and managing expectations. A few days later I noticed a small defect. Again, they had it fixed in a few hours. You are a Company of Heroes!"

    Hot Water FAQ

    HOT WATER CYLINDER QUESTIONS

    Around 10 to 15 years for most electric cylinders in Auckland. Much depends on water quality, how often the anode has been replaced, and the original install. Once you are past 12 years it is worth keeping an eye on it.
    Usually thermal expansion through the relief valve, which is normal. If it is constant it can mean a faulty valve. Switch off the power for five minutes; if the dripping stops it is just expansion, if it keeps going get us out.
    No. Hot water has to be stored over 60°C to stop legionella growing in the tank. The fix for delivering safe hot water is a tempering valve on the outlet, not a lower thermostat.
    Often same day if it is a standard size. We aim to get you back into hot water within 24 hours wherever we can.
    A rough rule is around 50L to 60L per person, so a family of four sits around the 200L mark. We will check your usage, your pressure and the space available before recommending a size.
    Yes. We install gas continuous flow, gas storage and solar hot water systems alongside electric cylinders. We can talk you through the running costs of each so you pick what suits.
    You can call us directly, fill out our online form, or send us an email.

    How Your Hot Water System Is Quietly Costing You Money

    Power prices have risen 21% over the past three years. If you have an ageing low pressure cylinder sitting in your airing cupboard, switching power plans will not deliver the savings you expect. The cylinder itself is the problem.
