Damaged goods, don’t you hate it!

damaged_hot_water_cylinderThis 500 litre hot water cylinder arrived on site this morning with a massive dent, thanks a lot Mr delivery company! Thankfully the cylinder is stainless steel (not enamel). Being a custom made hot water cylinder makes the decision very difficult to send it back and wait on a new one. Additionally we have staff onsite not being able to commence with the work until the matter is resolved. A quick phone call to the cylinder delivery company turned out to work wonders enabling us to give the costumer a decent discount on the hot water cylinder. Of course the full warranty will also continue to apply. Just a quick pressure test to confirm all is ok and off we go! Sometimes things don’t always go as planned but the main thing for us here at hotwatercylinders.nz is to have a good and “can do” attitude in finding a way to keep everyone involved happy. After all, the dent is really just “cosmetic” and after we faced it towards the wall and completed the installation you couldn’t even notice it was there. Another satisfying hot water cylinder happy ending!

This month is Rheem Optima month! Get your special quickly!

External-Rheem-Optima-300ltrDo you like what you see? This specific installation was done in the heart of Auckland for just over $ 2400. The lucky owner of this property wanted his internal hot water cylinder gone, to allow for more space so we simply relocated his new one outside the property. Taking advantage of our special Rheem month we were able to work out a great deal to achieve what you see in the photo here. We replaced an old Rheem 135 Low Pressure with a new external 300L Rheem optima mains pressure. All hot water pipes were also nicely insulated to ensure top level efficiencies and savings. In this case the electrician was the owners mate so we didn’t provide the electrical services. We often get asked how we achieve high quality installations at such great rates and the simple answer is, we are efficient, qualified hot water cylinder technicians and buy our products in Bulk. This month We have TOO MANY RHEEMS that MUST BE SOLD! So get in quickly and ask for your obligation free quote. Great rates for great products (made in New Zealand) only at www.hotwatercylinders.nz! Call us for other Rheem specials.
