What would be the approx cost of installing hot water cylinder with materials supplied?

Thanks

Standard insulated cylinder should be 550 to 650.

Unless you are saving a lot on the materials I'd let the plumber supply.

If plumber supplies & there is a leak in the cylinder plumber has to supply and fit another one. If you supply & the cylinder has a leak the supplier supplies a new cylinder but the plumber does not have to fit it for free.

Cylinders don't usually leak due to a manifacture fault but I have seen it happen. If you are saving hundreds then it's worth supplying but plumber is only responsible for his own work and not the quality of the materials. If you aren't saving much suppling materials then it's better to have the plumber supply as he's now responsible for the whole job
