With winter in full swing, it is always a busy time for us with gas heating and hot water servicing, not to mention the havoc often caused by falling temperatures, wind, rain and leaves, causing blockages to pipes and drains. Predictions are, we’re in for a slighter warmer than average winter, but always be ready to expect the unexpected when it comes to Auckland weather!
We discuss energy costs, NZ gas reserves, our Totika 5-star rating, our new website T&C's and Privacy Policy and a reminder about re-roofing.Plumbing, Gas & Drainage Maintenance

Are New Zealand’s Gas Reserves in Trouble?
Don't worry - supplies aren’t vanishing overnight
You may have seen recent headlines about New Zealand’s natural gas reserves declining more quickly than expected. But residential users make up just 4% of total gas consumption, so there's no immediate threat of running out.
Jeffrey Clarke, CEO of GasNZ, assures the public that there will be sufficient gas available for both homes and businesses for many years to come. Looking ahead, the gas sector is investing in renewable gas, which will eventually take the place of current natural reserves.
Take Denmark as an example — they’ve already replaced 40% of their natural gas with renewable alternatives and aim to hit 100% by 2030.
