What does your hot water system actually cost?

The upfront price is only part of the picture.

Different hot water systems come with different installation costs, annual running costs and energy use. A system that costs less to install isn't necessarily the cheapest to run over time.

We've put together this comparison using figures from EECA to show how hot water heat pumps, electric hot water cylinders and gas continuous flow systems compare.

The figures are a general guide only. The right option for your home will depend on things like your household size, water pressure, property type, available space and how much hot water you use.

Swipe through the comparison, then talk to our team if you're considering a new hot water system.

A new tap can make a bigger difference than you might think.

This kitchen had an older tap that was ready for an upgrade. The new tap gives the space a cleaner, more modern finish while making everyday use easier.

Sometimes it's the small changes that make the biggest difference.

Thinking about updating your kitchen? Our team can help with tap replacements and other plumbing work across Canterbury.

Depending on your property and water source, what comes through your taps can carry sediment, chlorine, or other contaminants that affect the taste, smell, and quality of your water.

A water filter installation is a straightforward way to improve the quality of your drinking and cooking water without any ongoing effort on your part. Our team can assess your setup and recommend the right filtration system for your home.

If you've never had your water quality looked at, it's worth a conversation. Call us on 03 379 0711 or visit https://whiteheadplumbing.co.nz.

A gas hob installation is more than fitting the appliance into place. It needs the right connection, proper ventilation, and a safety check to make sure everything is working as it should.

Our qualified gasfitters install gas hobs across Canterbury homes, whether it's a straightforward swap or part of a bigger kitchen renovation.

If a gas hob is on your renovation list, get in touch before you buy so we can confirm what's involved on the gas fitting side. Call us on 03 379 0711 or visit whiteheadplumbing.co.nz.

With spring just around the corner, it's a good time to take stock of what's working around the home and what isn't. A dripping tap or worn mixer might seem minor, but left unattended it adds up on your water bill and can lead to bigger issues down the line.

If something needs attention, our team can help. Call us on 03 379 0711 or visit https://whiteheadplumbing.co.nz.

A blocked or damaged drain is easy to put off when it seems minor.

But in winter, heavy rain puts your drainage system under real pressure. What starts as a slow drain can quickly turn into a backed-up system, water pooling around your property, or in more serious cases, damage to your foundations or landscaping.

Sorting a drainage issue early is almost always less costly than dealing with what it leaves behind.

Our team carries out drainage inspections, maintenance, and repairs across Canterbury.

Don't wait for a wet week to find out something isn't working. Call us on 03 379 0711 or visit whiteheadplumbing.co.nz.
