Terms of Use

These terms explain how HotWaterUpgrades operates and the relationship between customers, HotWaterUpgrades and independent service providers.

A connection platform

HotWaterUpgrades is a connection and referral platform. We publish information about hot-water options in New Zealand and pass customer enquiries to independent service providers who may be able to assist.

HotWaterUpgrades does not install, repair, inspect or maintain hot-water systems, and does not carry out plumbing, gasfitting or electrical work.

Independent providers

  • Providers are independent businesses, not employees or agents of HotWaterUpgrades
  • Providers issue their own quotes and set their own pricing and terms
  • Providers are responsible for their own workmanship, compliance and licensing
  • Any contract for work is between you and the provider

No obligation

Requesting a quote is free and places you under no obligation. You are not required to accept any quote or engage any provider that contacts you.

Availability is not guaranteed

We cannot guarantee that a provider will be available in your area, that you will be contacted within a particular timeframe, or that any specific service or price will be offered. Coverage depends on the providers active in your region at the time.
