Is your Hot Water Cylinder costing you the price of a new one?

Patrick from Bishopdale

I come across numerous old hot water cylinders that are passing all that precious hot water.

This is generally down to the age of the fittings.
A lot of plumbers will tell you it’s a new cylinder change which is very unfair on the customer.

I come across numerous old hot water cylinders that are passing all that precious hot water.

This is generally down to the age of the fittings.
A lot of plumbers will tell you it’s a new cylinder change which is very unfair on the customer.

If you may notice there is not enough hot water I can help.

A simple fitting being replaced can rectify this.

- Do you know the difference between a quote or an estimate?
- Will you need to hire multiple contractors?

Recall list: How many of these common household items do you have?

The Team from Citizens Advice Christchurch Area

That was a big deal because despite a voluntary recall for Takata airbags floating around since 2013, the government – taking a page from the Aussies – decided to step in after realising the recall was progressing far too slowly, with less than a quarter of those affected in New Zealand replaced since 2013.

That kind of success rate, however, is surprisingly all too common for voluntary recalls. Consumer NZ estimates that “less than half” of product recalls actually work, and while it’s normally better for items where customers details are noted down (like cars), common household items that are cheap and easily replaceable (like indoor electric heaters) can remain in use months – even years – after a recall is issued.

Below is a selection of recalled items we think are most relevant to consumers (part two looks at items specifically targeted at babies and children). Of course, it goes without saying that this is by no means an exhaustive list – for that you need to be looking at the government’s official website.
