(Please rotate mobile device to landscape for easy viewing)
Choosing the right gas storage hot water system package depends on your installation needs, household size, and whether additional electrical work is required. Use this guide to compare package levels and find the best fit for your home.
Selecting the right package helps streamline installation, but we understand that needs may change, and that the purchaser isn’t a plumber. We’re flexible and can make adjustments, such as upgrading to the next package as needed.

✅ Base – For compliant replacements
Ideal for direct swaps where the existing system meets compliance. No extra plumbing or electrical work included.

✅ Silver – For minor upgrades

(EXAMPLE - Swapping a 10year old Rheem Stellar 360 with a new Rheem Stellar 330 where the existing installation is good but requires pipework alterations to adapt the new unit and new valve set for warranty)
🏆 Gold (Best Seller) – For standard installations

(EXAMPLE - Swapping a 20year old Dux 4-Star 135L with a new Vulcan 4-Star 170L, Strip all down and redo the valves, pipework, drain lines, support base and dispose of the old unit)
💰 Sapphire (Best Value) – For installations requiring a new gas main or upgrade plus everything in the gold package
(EXAMPLE - Swapping an electric system with a new Everhot 4-Star 135L that requires a new gas line and connection to be installed, then strip all down and redo the valves, pipework, drain lines, support base and dispose of the old unit)
