Their existing electric hot water cylinder failed them during the re-insulation of the home they had owned for 20 years.
With the hot water cylinder kaput, (the bottom rusted out entirely) and the old gravity-fed water pipes old and failing also, the Johnstons decided it was time to upgrade to gas hot water heating.
The system was designed and installed to supply an adequate gas califont heating system and to be powered by two 45kg outdoor gas bottles.
They also replaced the three different kinds of water piping with new mains pressure pipes to improve volume and flow capabilities.
The entire switching process was easy, with the gas fitter taking care of every aspect from the supply, install, certification and consent.
It soon became apparent that the continuous flow, on-demand hot water system had bought tangible benefits, the client says.
Since switching to gas hot water heating, the family have noticed:
Knowing the benefits of gas hot water heating from having had it at previous properties, the client’s were resolutely certain that gas was the way to go.

“We wouldn’t go back to electric hot water cylinders if you paid us to,” The Client says. “If you are away from home for extended periods of time you can turn it off completely and start it up again when you return.”
The fitters service was amazing, he says and the Rockgas deliveries prompt and reliable.

“It made sense to switch to gas hot water heating for the bach. We had switched to gas at our home in Oamaru already so we know how useful it is,” the client says.
The bach is used throughout the year at various times, hosting between 2 to 8 people at any one time.
The Gas Fitter went out to Otematata and supplied & installed a gas hot water heating system for the family.

The existing old electric hot water cylinder at the Glenavy property was about to “burst its backside” says the client. “So we figured gas water heating would be the option for us. We intend to live there permanently in a couple of years and the home is a holiday destination for the family.”
Converting to gas hot water heating would allow the security of supply for a varying number of guests and a better showering experience from being connected to mains pressure.
