LOCATION: Wellington
UPGRADE TYPE: Upgrading existing mains pressure cylinder to gas instantaneous
JOB VALUE TOTAL (circa): Under $ 3200
JOB DURATION: Under 5 hours
JOB DESCRIPTION: Low domestic hot water users tend to get annoyed about the fact that they have to store hot water and pay for power doing so, especially when they don’t use that much hot water. Instant water heating solves this issue in that you are only heating water when you actually use it. This Wellington home will see significant savings on water heating immediately.
Challenges included Being a brick and tile home the only way to get the gas and water feeds was through the roof space and soffit. These installations require good planning and extreme caution to ensure to damage is done which just results in more repair works, time on the job and an annoyed customer. On the contrary to that, this installation was right on budget and our Wellington client Anna was totally satisfied.
The result was a tidy and compact installation! Anna has already recommended Water Heater Brokers to her friends where the adventure will continue. Happy client, happy Water Heater Brokers!

UPGRADE TYPE: Replacing a 20 year old Saturn system hydronic boiler
JOB VALUE TOTAL (circa): under $ 5.200,00-
JOB DURATION: Circa 6 hours
JOB DESCRIPTION: There are over 20000 Saturn boilers in the Auckland area alone that are over 20 years old and will most likely have to be replaced in the near future. This new Bosch condensing boiler replaced such a Saturn central heating boiler that failed because the heat exchanger punctured in multiple locations. With nowhere to source replacement parts and the high probability that several other integral parts have reached their operational “life span” the most economical and logical solution was to repair but replace the boiler with a more compact, modern and highly efficient central heating boiler.
For more information about our Bosch condensing boiler please view our central heating gas boilers page.
Challenges included rearranging the gas flue to accommodate the new twin skin balanced flue. This included re-flashing the roof and creating new ceiling penetrations that had to flanged and tidied up.
Whether you have a new or older style boiler, regardless of brand we strongly recommend that you regularly service your central heating system which includes your central heating source such as your boiler. A full system service may cost around $299 but will save you thousands of dollars in repairs later and ensure your system runs efficient saving you cash immediately.

Heat pump water heaters use the same technology as heat pumps do to heat rooms, except they heat water. They do so by moving heat rather than making heat, making the more efficient than other water heating systems such as gas or electric.
A well designed heat pump water heater will use less energy than a standard electric cylinders and can work in places that solar will not work well, such as the south side of hills where there is less sun. If you have cheaper night rate electricity, your heat pump water heater can take advantage of this and save you money.
Some heat pump water heaters can also give you central heating. They do so by pumping warm water from the hot water tank into a system of underfloor heating pipes. It is also possible to use them to heat a hot tub, spa or swimming pool cheaper than using an electric heater.
Selecting a correctly sized heater for your application will ensure that it heats your water efficiently and costs you the least amount possible in power. If you are not sure what to look for, give us a call on 0800 Water Heater Brokers today.

UPGRADE TYPE: Upgrading existing leaking low pressure cylinder to gas instantaneous
JOB VALUE TOTAL (circa): Under $ 2700
JOB DURATION: Under 5 hours
JOB DESCRIPTION: Called to a leaking hot water cylinder, Water Heater Brokers responded within 2 hours from call to installation. We were the third company to be called but after a short conversation Andrew was convinced the he had the right company to action his hot water cylinder emergency. The system was setup on LPG as the cost to thrust a new natural gas main to the property by Vector was ridiculously high, additionally the owner would have had to pay a monthly meter rate before even paying for gas making the LPG decision very easy to make.
A central spot for the LPG bottles was found (allowing the provider easy access for replacement) and pavers put down to enable the safety chain and LPG regulator to be mounted back safely onto the property.
Challenges included rerouting the hot water feed back into the property in way that would not increase his waiting time on delivery .
Pricing included an electrician, all required valves and regulator, gas certification and all warranties.
The result was endless hot water at mains pressure! Andrew was also pretty happy to see that we were able to install a limiting valve that enabled him to continue using his existing low pressure tapware without having to spend a fortune. Happy client, happy Water Heater Brokers!
