When should I replace my hot water cylinder?

If your cylinder is over 15 years old, poorly insulated, or not providing enough hot water, it's time for an upgrade. Many older leafy residential area properties in Kelvindale have uninsulated copper cylinders that waste significant energy.

What size hot water cylinder do I need in Kelvindale?

A 1–2 bedroom leafy residential area property in Kelvindale needs a 120–150 litre cylinder. 3–4 bedrooms need 180–250 litres. If you have a bath, we recommend at least 150 litres for comfortable use.

Can a new cylinder work with solar panels?

Yes, modern dual-coil cylinders have a dedicated solar input, allowing solar thermal panels to pre-heat your water for free. This is an excellent upgrade for leafy residential area properties in Kelvindale looking to reduce energy costs.
