| 1452270 | 2018-08-05 08:29:00 | Thanks for the replies. I figure it's time is up but if a quick fix could extend it's life a little longer that would of been nice. We only intend on living in this house for another 3 or 4 years and then keeping it as a rental so I think the conversion to gas makes more financial sense when compared to solar. | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 1452271 | 2018-08-05 11:14:00 | Paying an extra line charge? Putting up with significantly more delay in getting hot water at the tap? Not for me, I would stay with power. In case you're low pressure get it all upgraded to mains pressure, there you go, something else to worry about. | Ofthesea (14129) | ||
| 1452272 | 2018-08-05 11:32:00 | Christchurch so it would be bottles. Already on mains. Significantly more delay? Not in my experience... | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 1452273 | 2018-08-05 19:24:00 | It might put potential renters off knowing they have to fork out for bottles on top of electricity and rent | gary67 (56) | ||

| 1452275 | 2018-08-05 23:07:00 | I agree with piroska. False economy to try a repair for 3-4 years. When these breakdown, they breakdown. Repair and 3-4 months down the trail you probably will need to replace anyway. However, get a plumber to look and advise. | Bryan (147) | ||
| 1452276 | 2018-08-05 23:08:00 | Copper tanks do not last forever in a lot of areas of NZ because of corrosion. If you get it replaced, don't let the plumber take the old one away, local scrap dealers should give you $60 to $80 for the old one.:) | Arnie (6624) | ||

If you get it replaced, don't let the plumber take the old one away, local scrap dealers should give you $60 to $80 for the old one.:) Thanks I already have that noted. Quotes I have state that they only disconnect and drain. I doubt they would want to remove it anyway as it's well and truly wedged between walls. The $60 to $80 might cover the beer I consume while putting the house back together... |

| 1452278 | 2018-08-06 01:17:00 | Just wondering, approx how much were you quoted to have it replaced. Im dreading this happening to mine. How long do they last on average ? |
