A real person answers, day or night
Choose well once, and the system repays you for decades
A hot water installation is a twenty-year decision dressed up as a one-day job. Our job is to make the choice an easy one, then fit it properly.
Pick the right fuel, the right capacity and the right position, and the system quietly does its work for decades. Pick badly, and you pay for it every quarter and every time the shower runs cold.
What the peninsula's housing asks of a new system
This suburb packs a century of housing styles into a few streets, and each era makes different demands on a new hot water installation.
- Interwar side passages Many double-brick homes around here tuck their tanks into passages barely wider than the unit itself, so access, ventilation and clearances get measured before a single quote is written.
- Steep falls to the water Blocks that drop toward Gore Creek and the harbour mean long pipe runs and careful siting, because a unit parked in the wrong corner loses heat and pressure on its way uphill.
- Salt near the foreshore Units exposed to harbour air on the lower streets need corrosion-resistant fittings and smart positioning, or the salt shortens their working life well before the tank itself gives up.
Our hot water installation services
Every install starts the same way: we assess the household, the existing pipework and the available fuel options, then quote one fixed price covering supply, fitting, compliance and disposal of the old unit. These are the routes we install along, and you can read more on our hot water hub.
Full system installs
Every new hot water installation starts with a load assessment covering household size, shower habits and energy options, so the unit we quote is sized to the way your family actually uses water rather than to a rule of thumb.
Gas and electric
Gas continuous flow and electric storage both suit peninsula homes and we lay out the honest trade-offs in running cost, recovery speed and space before you commit, drawing directly on our detailed guides to gas hot water and electric systems.
Instant and continuous
Instant systems free up the side passages and cupboards older peninsula homes lose to bulky tanks, heating only what you draw, and they pair well with the tight narrow interwar layouts common across the peninsula's renovated Federation and interwar cottages.
Relocations and upgrades
Moving a unit off a worn side passage into a compliant external position, or upsizing for a growing household, is routine work for our crews, including full switchovers between gas and electric with every piece of compliance paperwork handled safely.
Two very different jobs, one team
- Strata plant rooms The apartment buildings along the Pacific Highway edge run shared plant that ages hard, and owners corporations there call us for coordinated replacements of entire hot water services, staged so residents are never left cold for long.
- Ridge-era homes The 2000s-era houses built on subdivided blocks along the ridge often need their first true system replacement now, having outlived the builder-grade units fitted at construction, and we handle both jobs weekly.
Common problems we solve
Undersized replacements
A system that runs out of hot water halfway through the morning shower queue was usually undersized at installation, and correcting it means matching capacity to actual household demand rather than copying whatever tank sat there before.
Old supply pipes
Connecting a brand new unit to corroded galvanised pipework is a false economy, because rusty supply strangles flow and shortens the new system's life, so we assess the feed lines as part of every fixed quote.
Strata access headaches
Apartment installations near the highway edge involve owners corporation approvals, plant room access and disposal logistics that catch DIY buyers out, and we coordinate all of it so the swap happens on schedule without any drama.
Why installing properly matters: the costs of getting it wrong
A hot water system is one of the few purchases in a home that runs every single day, so shortcuts at installation show up as bills, breakdowns and cold mornings for years afterwards.
- Efficiency compounds A unit that is the wrong size or badly sited wastes energy on every cycle, and across a decade those losses cost far more than the difference in upfront price between a good install and a rushed one.
- Lifespan depends on the start Systems fitted without proper isolation valves, tempering and clean supply lines fail early, while a correctly commissioned one reaches or beats its rated life, which is exactly what our hot water repair team sees when they don't.
- Compliance protects you Gas work, tempering valves and strata plant all carry legal requirements, and an uncertified installation can void insurance and complicate a sale, which is why every job we do arrives with its certificates.
How it works
How we install, step by step
- 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
Install and commission
On installation day we drain and disconnect the old unit, fit the new system to code, upgrade any supply pipework that would compromise it, then test, commission and walk you through the controls before we pack up.
- 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.
If your existing tank still has life in it but the hot water has stopped, our no hot water page covers the urgent side of things, and if the tank is simply at the end of its days, hot water replacement is the honest end-of-life path.
Where we work
Where else our installation crews work
Our installation crews cover the whole peninsula and the surrounding Lane Cove area, reaching Northwood, Wollstonecraft, St Leonards, Longueville and Waverton regularly, with the same stocked vans and fixed pricing whether the job sits down on the harbour foreshore or up on the ridge.
Good questions, straight answers
Hot water questions Greenwich locals ask before installing
How long does a hot water installation take?
Most standard swaps are finished within a day, while relocations, fuel switchovers or strata jobs near the highway can stretch to two, and we confirm the exact timing in your written quote.
Should I choose gas, electric or instant?
Gas suits homes with a gas line and high demand, electric suits off-peak budgets, and instant units save space, so we walk you through running costs against your household's usage before you decide.
Do I need approval for a new hot water system?
Most straightforward replacements need no approval beyond Sydney Water standards, but relocations, gas line work and strata plant upgrades involve compliance certificates, all of which we prepare and lodge as part of the job.
Can you install into tight side passages in older homes?
Yes, plenty of interwar homes around the peninsula tuck tanks into narrow side passages, and we measure doorways, turns and clearances carefully so both the new unit and the old one coming out fit through.
What size system does a family of four need?
A family of four usually needs storage between 160 and 250 litres or a continuous flow unit rated for simultaneous showers, and we size from your peak usage, not the old tank's label.
Is the installation covered by a warranty?
Every installation carries our Lifetime Labour Warranty on top of the manufacturer's warranty on the unit itself, and your compliance certificates arrive with the invoice, so the paperwork trail is complete from day one.
