Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a hot water cylinder and a gas Califont?
A hot water cylinder stores heated water in a tank for later use, while a gas califont (also known as a gas continuous flow system) heats water instantly as you need it—meaning no storage tank is required. Califonts are compact, energy-efficient, and ideal for homes wanting endless hot water on demand. Holmes Plumbing & Gas can help you decide which option suits your household's needs.
How many years should a gas water heater last?
A well-installed and regularly serviced gas water heater should last around 15 to 20 years. The lifespan can vary depending on water quality, how often it’s used, and whether regular maintenance is carried out. At Holmes Plumbing & Gas, we can inspect your system and let you know if it’s time for a replacement.
Is it cheaper to heat water with gas or electric?
In general, natural gas is a more cost-effective way to heat water than electricity in many New Zealand homes. Gas systems like califonts only heat water when you need it, reducing standby heat loss. Over time, this can lead to noticeable savings on your power bills compared to older electric hot water cylinders.
Do Califonts need servicing?
Yes, Califont gas water heaters do need regular servicing to run safely and efficiently. Annual checks help prevent build-up of scale, ensure safe gas operation, and extend the life of the unit. Holmes Plumbing & Gas offers reliable servicing to keep your system running smoothly all year round.
What is the best Califont in NZ?
At Holmes Plumbing & Gas, we often recommend Thermann califonts for their excellent performance, energy efficiency, and reliable support across New Zealand. Whether you're looking for a compact unit for a small home or a high-capacity system for larger households, Thermann has a model to suit. Other quality brands include Rinnai and Bosch, but Thermann is our go-to for dependable performance.
