Summary
Plumbing, electrical, and removal of the old cylinder and valves, is all included. This price is for a straight swap only, based on the new unit being basically the same size, set out, and fitted in the same position, as the existing hot water cylinder.
This is a complete package, however there are potentially a couple of issues we can encounter on installations like this which are not included as standard in our set packages as they’re only occasionally required, so we find it best and most appropriate to just charge them as an extra on those jobs.
Possible Extras
If you have a pressure relief valve fitted on your existing hot water cylinder, we suggest replacing this while we’re there, however, just to be clear, this would be over and above our standard package price as most people don’t have one. The additional cost to replace this valve is just $200 if we do it while we are there,
And sometimes we can’t get the old cylinder out due to it being built in with shelves. If your cylinder is built in, or surrounded in shelves, not allowing us to easily replace the cylinder, extras would be charged for any building related work. This could be for refitting shelves, refitting door, or even more in-depth building work in some cases.
Special Notes
On any jobs that we have allowed to complete the electrical work for you, in relation to the job we are doing, should the electrician deem it to be unsafe, or non-compliant with current regulations, and therefore will not be able to issue a code of compliance certificate, upgrades will be required. This will cost extra over and above our quotation for basic electrical work normally required on a job like this, but after all it is for your safety, so worth getting it sorted while we’re there. This could be the wiring, the switches, the fuses, RCD circuits, or even the switch board itself.
Should any of the old plumbing pipework at your property be the old black plastic piping which is well known to be problematic, and prone to bursting randomly which has caused some major damage for customers in the past, or even old galvanized pipe, we can remove it and upgrade it for you while we’re there to give you the peace of mind your plumbing is durable and watertight for the future. This would be extra, over and above the package price.
If you already have a low-pressure hot water system you’ll be well aware of the poor performance you get from it, particularly in the shower. This of course will be no better with your new replacement cylinder, so we highly recommend upgrading to a mains pressure hot water system. New mains pressure hot water systems start from about $2987 and go up from there depending on what option you choose. Many people, in fact most people who don’t have mains pressure already choose to upgrade. We can discuss the options with you.
Should you choose to upgrade to mains pressure hot water, from low pressure, occasionally we find the old tapware, particularly shower mixers don’t always work very well, or are noisy with a new high pressure hot water system, so if you’re upgrading from low pressure, you may need to either modify or upgrade the existing shower mixers. This is not included in our standard quotes as it’s quite rare now that this is required, however we can arrange a solution to the problem for you should there be an issue once we test the new system. If you’re replacing your shower anyway, then obviously there won’t be any issue with the shower mixer.
And finally, if any unforeseen issues or circumstances arise outside of our control that cause the job to be delayed, held up, or prolonged for any reason, no penalties can be claimed against Regency Plumbing.
Our general hot water exclusions include:
- No allowance has been made for any other subtrades work unless it is listed clearly in the details
- Should you “the customer” decide for any reason you no longer wish to proceed with the job after we have started to travel to site. A full refund will be given excluding our minimum service charge and restocking fee of $200 plus GST. It is recommended that any cancellations if required are made the day prior, if possible
- This quote has been based on us completing the work within 1 site visit on the same day. Any additional site visits required that are out of our control will be charged at our regular rates
- No allowance has been made within this quote for the installation of a cylinder tray, unless you had asked for it and we’ve clearly noted it as included in the quote
- No allowance has been made within this quote for the replacement of the timber floor below the cylinder if required due to water damage. Should we find that the existing floor needs replacement a quote will be provided for the work
- We have only made allowance to re-connect the new hot water cylinder in the existing location. Should we be required to extend the hot and cold-water supplies to a new location there will be an additional charge of $25 per meter of pipe. This will be added to the final bill on completion of the job
- We sometimes find when we come to properties that they are not fitted with pressure limiting valves. We recommend that a limiting valve is fitted to every property to protect the pipe work and fixtures from over pressurization. Should your property not have one, we are able to supply and install one for you for an additional cost of $250 plus GST
- Should you require a new flue or roof flashing due to the old one breaking, coming apart, or the roof flashing slipping when we fit new cylinder this will be charged as an additional cost. Most of the time this is not required though, so we have not included it in the price.
- This is a general list of exclusions and possibly the whole list will not directly relate to your job, however we feel it’s always best to be clear upfront before we start work to avoid any unwanted surprises!
But to be very clear – in all cases, if we come across any issues outside of the quoted value – we will notify you right away, we will discuss with you, we will provide estimated additional cost to make good, or alter, and it will be agreed upon by you and us before we proceed, eliminating the shock of a significant, or any price inflation from the original quote.
How long does a job like this take?
In most cases a standard hot water system upgrade will all be completed within the day.
We’re very focused on a quality outcome, and sometimes if you rush too much the quality is compromised. It’s better to take a little extra time than be disappointed, but it would be very rare to not be able to complete the installation within the same day we started job.
So, what’s the plan from here:
We really look forward to completing this project for you, and we hope to hear from you very soon. If you need to chat about anything, just give us a call, we are here to help and make your job easier.
If you’re happy with everything already, all you need to do is liaise with our team to establish a time frame that works for you to get it done, arrange a deposit of 50%, and your date will be locked in for you.
And just one final reminder for your own peace of mind:
If you’re not already confident we are the best choice to complete your job, I encourage you to read more about us on our website and check out our fabulous reviews online.

Can you upgrade the Pressure of your old Low Pressure Hot Water Cylinder by fitting new Pressure Valves?
Summary
The answer in most case is yes, however be aware that this will be only a slight improvement and can reduce the life of your old Low Pressure Hot Water Cylinder.
Traditionally, a low pressure hot water cylinder was an open-vented system providing hot water supply for most homes in Auckland, New Zealand. They are reliable and provide hot water as you’d expect, however only with limited pressure.
Today many people have the expectation of a great strong high pressure shower, rather than the old school bath with some kind of awkward shower facility over it, so the reality is low pressure hot water cylinders have become a lot less desirable.
