Join the masses
Renovating has become very popular. Just look at the numerous TV shows pitting teams against each other in a bid to have the hottest reno on the block. Home renovation is more accessible and more achievable than ever before. Shows like these demonstrate what might be possible - at times on a shoestring budget.
Over the past year, thousands of Kiwis undertook a huge home improvement that didn’t require a big budget. They switched out their old and inefficient hot water cylinder for a natural gas continuous water heater. They’re now guaranteed a hot shower every time - that’s got to feel better all over!
A practical choice
Hot water powered by natural gas is a practical home renovation. Often referred to as ‘instant’ or ‘Infinity' hot water, expect to pay around $2,300-$3,800 for the system installed and ready to go. Pricing depends on appliance choice and home layout, but won't cost you an arm and a leg.
Wave goodbye to your hot water cylinder and hello to endless hot water and extra storage space. Being externally mounted, gas continuous gives you extra space when your hot water cylinder is removed. For some people, this benefit alone stacks up.
Many say they upgrade to get better water pressure, others reckon the efficiency and cost savings of gas are best things about switching. Regardless of the main reason, the benefits are numerous.
Not a DIY renovation fan?
The struggle to find the time is real. The great news is that switching to natural gas continuous is a home renovation where you won’t have to lift a finger. This is a job strictly for the professionals. A gasfitter will remove and take away your old cylinder and get your new gas system up and running – usually all in the same day! It’s that quick and easy.
