Replacing Old Vulcan Freeloader Hot Water Cylinders
One of the most common upgrades we carry out is replacing ageing Vulcan Freeloader gas hot water cylinders. Thousands of these systems were installed throughout Auckland and, while many have provided decades of reliable service, replacement parts are becoming increasingly difficult to source.
For most homeowners, the Rheem Stellar Outdoor Gas Storage Cylinder is the ideal replacement. Rheem specifically markets the Stellar as the replacement for older Vulcan Freeloaders.

Low Pressure to Mains Pressure Upgrades
Still living with a low pressure hot water system? Many older Auckland homes were originally built with low pressure cylinders. Upgrading to a mains pressure gas hot water cylinder can dramatically improve the comfort and performance of your home.
Signs you have low pressure
- Weak showers
- Slow bath filling
- Poor mixer tap performance
- Inconsistent water pressure
- Limited hot water flow
Benefits of mains pressure
- Powerful showers
- Better pressure throughout the house
- Multiple taps running simultaneously
- Improved kitchen performance
- Better compatibility with modern tapware
- Increased property value
We'll inspect your plumbing and recommend the right upgrade while ensuring your pipework and pressure limiting valves are correctly configured.
