Power costs
Hi There ,I want to thank everyone who gave us advice last winter after an $800 power bill. I would like you to know we found [hopefully] our problem to be electric hot water .I would like to let fellow Central residents know that the recommendation for gas hot water and a woodburner installation to MCLELLANDS GAS AND PLUMBING was incredibly disappointing .The customer service was appalling ,we did manage to get a tradesman from Mclellands once to look at the job, then we called instore to select a fire and request a quote and never heard from them again .We waited 3 months then began the search again ,no interest at all until on a recommendation from Neighbourly we called ADAMS HEATING AND PLUMBING ,they were professional ,quick ,and reasonably priced ,customer service faultless ,I will update you on our first power account in June. The first job which included the woodburner would have been app $10,000 , if Mclellands plumbing can afford to throw that sort of customer away then there will be karma ,there always is in business.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
