  • Continuous flow systems mean the shower will always be hot when it’s your turn! Heat only the water you need, enjoy unbeatable water pressure, while gaining valuable storage space.
  • Gas cylinders work well on low or mains pressure and you’ll have hot water during a power cut.

  • Central heating ducted through floor or ceilings offers luxurious warmth
  • Radiators or underfloor heating are great for allergy suffers
  • Gas fires give you no fuss and no mess ambience without the wood stacking
  • Flued heaters offer space efficient, dry heat that work no matter how cold it is outside

You'll be doing your bit towards a more sustainable New Zealand

Did you know, that Kiwis using piped natural gas directly in their homes, produce less than 1% of New Zealand’s total greenhouse emissions? These homes also are helping to ease the dependency on using coal or natural gas electricity generation during peak times like winter, when lake and wind levels are low and renewable sources are not enough to supply household demand.
