A real person answers, day or night
Why gas still wins for many peninsula homes
A gas system heats water quickly, recovers between draws and costs less to run than a standard electric tank for most households. That combination explains why so many local families stay with gas when their old unit finally gives up, and why the decision deserves proper advice rather than a like-for-like swap ordered blind.
Older housing stock changes every gas job
The peninsula's Federation bungalows and interwar double-brick homes were built long before continuous flow units existed, and that shapes every installation here.
Flue paths come first
Access is genuinely tight
Salt adds its share
Gas hot water systems we install and service
Coverage spans every common configuration, from compact continuous flow units bolted to a side wall to substantial storage tanks serving larger families:
Continuous flow systems. Continuous flow units heat water only as you draw it, so a family of four never waits for a tank to recover between showers, and the compact wall-mounted body suits the tight side passages common through the peninsula's older homes.
Gas storage tanks. Storage tanks with gas burners recover quickly even after a full household draw, which suits the staggered morning routines of larger families, and modern five and six star models cut running costs well below the units they replace.
Electric to gas conversions. Conversions from electric storage to gas involve running or upgrading the gas line, sizing the new unit, and managing flue placement under council rules, work we handle end to end so an older home gains lower running costs without surprises.
Gas line and compliance work. Connections, regulator checks and compliance tagging all sit within our gas licence, so a new system arrives with its certification paperwork completed, its isolation valve accessible for future servicing, and its pipework pressure tested before the first shower is drawn.
Choosing between these options matters, so we also compare electric hot water systems where gas is unavailable, and instant hot water systems where space is the deciding factor.

Where the gas jobs actually happen
Two pockets drive most of this work on the peninsula, and they fail in different ways.
The interwar streets off the ridge
The strata blocks near the St Leonards edge
Between those extremes, homes near Gore Creek and the foreshore add salt-laden air to the equation, which shortens the life of external tanks, flues and fittings unless corrosion is caught at an annual check.

Why a proper gas job matters
Getting a gas hot water system right the first time protects more than your shower:
Safety comes first
Gas pipework, flues and connections done poorly create risks no household should carry, which is why every job here is completed, pressure tested and tagged by a licensed gas plumber.
Running costs compound
A correctly sized, efficient unit saves money every single day for a decade or more, while an oversized or poorly tuned one quietly wastes gas for just as long.
Downtime hurts
Families lose whole mornings to a dead system, so same-day repairs and stocked vans turn a household crisis back into an ordinary day.
If the smell of gas ever accompanies a fault, treat it as urgent and read what to do on our gas leaks page before we arrive.
How it works
How we get your gas hot water sorted
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0504 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
We match the system to the job
Your plumber measures household demand, checks the gas supply and flue path, and talks through continuous flow versus storage options, so the unit fitted suits your family's usage rather than whatever happens to be discounted this month.
- 04
Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Greenwich
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Greenwich works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Where we work
Areas we service
Our vans reach Northwood, Wollstonecraft, St Leonards, Longueville and Waverton daily, carrying the same gas expertise to every street, and because they stock common system parts, most calls end with the household back in hot water the same visit. The broader work we do is summarised at home.
Good questions, straight answers
Gas hot water questions Greenwich locals ask
Which system costs less to run, gas or electric hot water?
Gas units generally cost less to run than standard electric storage tanks, particularly for larger families, and our plumber can compare real figures for your household before you commit to either.
Can you switch my electric system over to gas?
Yes, we convert electric storage homes to gas by upgrading or extending the gas line, fitting the new unit, completing the flue work and tagging everything with full compliance certification.
How long does a gas hot water system last?
Most quality gas units serve a household for ten to fifteen years, although salt air and water quality can shorten that, so annual checks catch wear before it becomes a cold shower.
Do you repair all gas hot water brands?
We carry common thermostats, thermocouples, valves and ignition parts in the van, so the majority of gas repairs across brands finish the same day without waiting on ordered components.
Is a gas leak from a hot water system dangerous?
Any gas smell is serious, so turn the supply off at the meter, ventilate the area, avoid switches and flames, and call us immediately for an urgent licensed attendance.
What size gas system does my home need?
Sizing depends on how many people live there and when you draw water, so we calculate your household's actual peak demand rather than guessing from the old tank's capacity.
