Electric Hot Water Systems
Low, Medium & Mains Pressure Options
We supply, install, repair and upgrade all types of electric storage cylinders. No matter your current setup or pressure requirements, we’ll match you with the right system for consistent, reliable hot water.
Low-Pressure Cylinders
If your low-pressure system is struggling, leaking or producing weak flow, we can repair valves, correct pressure issues or replace the entire unit quickly. We work with reputable cylinder brands designed to last.
Medium Pressure Cylinders
When a property can’t accommodate a full mains-pressure upgrade, medium-pressure cylinders offer a great alternative. Made with thicker-gauge copper, they deliver improved shower performance at an affordable price.

Heat Pump Hot Water Systems
Heat pump systems are one of the most energy-efficient ways to heat water — often outperforming solar and costing around half the price to install. If you’re looking to significantly reduce power bills, a heat pump system is the ideal upgrade. Heat pumps can reduce hot water heating costs by up to 70% and are available in a range of storage and split-system options depending on your budget and performance needs.

Hot Water FAQ
How do I know which hot water system is right for my home?
It depends on your property’s size, water usage, pressure requirements and energy goals. We assess your current setup and recommend the best system — electric, gas or heat pump — to suit your needs and budget.
Why is my water pressure so low?
Low pressure can be caused by an outdated cylinder, faulty valves, blocked pipes, or pressure-reduced systems built to older standards. We can diagnose the issue and offer repair or upgrade options.
Should I repair or replace my hot water cylinder?
If the unit is leaking, failing electrically, or nearing the end of its lifespan, replacement is typically the safest and most cost-effective option. If it’s a minor valve or thermostat issue, a repair may be all you need.
Are heat pump hot water systems worth it?
Yes — heat pumps can reduce energy use by up to 70%. They’re ideal if you're looking for long-term savings and a more sustainable option without compromising performance.
Do gas continuous flow systems really provide endless hot water?
Yes. As long as the unit is sized correctly and your gas supply is stable, a continuous flow system will deliver uninterrupted hot water whenever you need it.
Do you provide free quotes for upgrades or replacements?
Absolutely. We offer free written quotes for all hot water upgrades and replacements so you know exactly what to expect.
