Gas Hot Water
Save $ On Your Energy Bills In Tauranga With A Gas Califont. Gas califonts save you money on your power bills - Tauranga
As registered Master Plumbers and Gasfitters in Tauranga, we can convert your property to a tankless gas califont.
These hot water systems use piped natural gas or LPG tanks as an energy source. They take up less room inside, heat water on demand, eliminate heat storage, and maximise energy efficiency. With years of experience, we can determine the right size and model to match your budget, gas availability and water usage requirements.
Hot Water Guy installs, repairs, services, and recommends Rinnai INFINITY® gas water heaters. Residential and commercial models are available, giving you an endless hot water supply, whatever the situation demands. We commonly install gas hot water systems for hotels, motels, campgrounds, laundries and other businesses that require hot water.
So, if you live in Papamoa, Tauranga, Mount Maunganui or the wider Bay of Plenty area, get in touch today.

Enjoy instant hot water when converting from electric to gas heating
Changing to a gas water heater can be a great option for households and businesses on a budget. The installation cost of a califont is typically lower than that of a heat pump hot water system. As experienced gasfitters, converting electric hot water cylinders is what we do best. We offer a seamless process, handling everything from start to finish, including organising an electrician and final certification.
Converting to gas offers lower running costs, a better shower, and endless hot water with increased pressure. You can repurpose the hot water cylinder closet for additional kitchen space or storage. If natural gas is available on your street, we can connect to that, or we can install LPG gas bottles. Note that your preferred supplier must handle the changeover of your gas bottles.

Is your solar too costly to repair? Get a gas hot water system
The key benefits of a gas hot water system are undeniably instantaneous hot water and energy efficiency. Solar, on the other hand, has some issues. Unfortunately, many people are driven to convert from solar energy because of expensive repairs, constant maintenance, and lack of performance.
Due to their complexity, local plumbers often shy away from solar hot water systems. But not the team at Hot Water Guy. We travel across Tauranga and the wider Bay of Plenty, converting solar to Rinnai’s innovative gas hot water solutions.

Tauranga’s economical gas boiler & califont services
Gas hot water systems are often taken for granted. They are naturally hot and typically involve mechanical operations. Common problems include broken knobs, stuck valves, rusted nozzles, failed thermocouples, worn hoses, cracked seals, and non-sparking piezo elements. Due to age, sometimes it is more beneficial and cost-effective to swap to a new infinity system when going through a maintenance cycle.
Hot Water Guy’s experienced plumbers and gasfitters in Tauranga provide fast repairs and seamless service thanks to strong supplier relationships and a vast inventory of components. Brand-specific parts are often required; there’s a significant risk if inferior replacements are used or improperly installed. We go to great lengths to track down the right parts for your job.
Talk to us first for honest advice and economical maintenance to extend the life of your gas hot water systems.
Annual servicing keeps your gas hot water system in check
All gas hot water systems require regular servicing for your family or staff’s health and safety. Manufacturers’ warranties for optimal performance often mandate annual servicing or intervals not exceeding two years.
Hot Water Guy’s maintenance checks include the following:
- Carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon leaks
- Gas pressure testing and adjustments
- Removing flammable dust and debris
- Fast, economical gas hot water cylinder repairs
- Bringing installations up to current code requirements
Our licensed gasfitters in Tauranga can service residential and commercial gas hot water systems, including cylinders or boilers and gas califonts (tankless hot water). So, if you have any safety concerns or have just moved homes, let Hot Water Guy give you our safe tick of approval.
Trust Hot Water Guy to give you sound, honest advice.
Unlike hot water cylinders made in the 1970s, which lasted decades, household tanks have a life expectancy of 12 to 15 years. Valves’ manufacture warranties are two years; servicing or replacement is generally required after five.
Over time, you can experience water leaks, faulty relief or Apex valves (pressure reducing valves), temperature loss, and rust or corrosion. But don’t worry – whatever the problem; our team works quickly to evaluate it and advise whether replacing your hot water cylinder is the right course of action.
