Rheem Gas Storage Hot Water Heaters: A Trusted Choice in Auckland

Rheem gas storage hot water heaters have been a staple in New Zealand households since 1969, offering reliable gas-powered solutions. Available for both indoor and outdoor use, these gas storage cylinders continue to serve their purpose, despite a decrease in popularity due to the emergence of modern gas continuous flow heaters.

Opting for a Rheem Mains Pressure Gas water heater guarantees:

  • Superior Quality: Rheem’s design and manufacturing ensure top-notch performance.
  • Versatility: Operates seamlessly with mains pressure, unequal pressure, and low pressure systems.
  • Corrosion Resistance: Lined with vitreous enamel, ideal for areas with poor water quality to prevent cylinder corrosion.
  • Compliance Assurance: All Rheem products adhere to legislative requirements, ensuring safety and reliability.

Rheem Gas Storage Hot Water Cylinders: Suitable for Indoor and Outdoor Use

Replacing a gas storage hot water cylinder usually involves upgrading an existing Rheem unit or a Vulcan Freeloader.

Indoor Rheem gas hot water cylinders are typically flued appliances commonly located in central hot water cupboards. On the other hand, the outdoor Vulcan Freeloaders, with their distinctive square boxy appearance, were prevalent in 90’s-built subdivisions such as Conifer Grove and Highland Park, incentivizing gas storage hot water cylinder installations.

Rheem offers replacement options for both types:

  • For indoor units, the replacement closely resembles the older models.
  • The Vulcan Freeloader replacement is the sleeker Rheem Stellar, boasting a more modern appearance.

Upgrading from Gas Storage Hot Water Cylinder to Continuous Flow Gas Heater: Explained

Many inquire about upgrading their old gas hot water cylinder to a modern continuous flow gas water heater or califont. The answer is a cautious “YES” — it’s possible but not always straightforward and can be costly.

Here’s why: Upgrading involves enlarging the gas pipe from the meter to the hot water unit to ensure adequate gas supply. If the existing pipe runs through the house, it can present challenges.

However, if the units are in proximity and an enlarged gas pipe can be easily installed, it’s more feasible.

Why Upgrade? Endless hot water and cost-efficient operation appeal to many. Homes that once housed larger families now find themselves with reduced hot water needs.

To explore your options, understand gas hot water alternatives, and find what suits you best, get in touch with us.
