A real person answers, day or night
Reading the signs before the tank lets go
A storage system rarely dies without warning. Rust-tinted water, a tank weeping at the seams, elements failing year after year: these signals mean repair money is going into a unit on its last legs.
A planned swap beats an emergency one every time. If the failure is sudden instead, our no hot water page covers the urgent path, while hot water repair handles faults worth fixing.
What replacement looks like on this peninsula
The housing stock shapes the job. Interwar double-brick and weatherboard homes carry ageing storage systems squeezed into tight side passages, where access is awkward and removal takes care rather than muscle.
Replacement here means matching a new system to both the household and the building it lives in, because a unit that suits a strata plant room rarely suits a narrow passage off a Federation laundry.
What we replace and install
Like-for-like tank swaps: We remove the failed unit, match a replacement to your existing connections and household size, and have hot water running again before dinner, with the old tank taken away and the site left clean.
Gas system upgrades: Where a gas line serves the home, we fit high-recovery gas storage or continuous flow units, and the gas hot water systems page walks through the running-cost case in detail.
Electric replacements: For homes without gas, modern electric tanks remain simple and dependable, and our electric hot water systems page covers sizing and off-peak options properly.
Continuous flow upgrades: Tankless units free up the side passage or cupboard an old tank hogged, and the instant hot water systems page explains when going tankless genuinely pays off.
Strata and plant room work: Apartment blocks near the Pacific Highway edge carry shared plant that ages hard, so we coordinate with owners corporations on access, compliance certificates and staged replacement without cutting supply to every unit at once.
Relocations and new positions: If the old unit sat somewhere impractical, a replacement is the natural moment to move it, and hot water installation covers fresh positions, renovations and new builds.

How it works
How a replacement works, 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
Swap the system
We isolate water and power or gas, drain and disconnect the old tank, and manoeuvre it out of passages never designed for removal. The new unit goes in with fresh valves and compliant connections, sized to your household's actual use, and the old tank leaves with us for proper disposal.
- 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
We replace hot water systems right across the peninsula and the wider Lane Cove area, and the same team covers Northwood, Wollstonecraft, St Leonards, Longueville and Waverton, so harbour-side neighbours get the same fixed-price, same-day service with no travel-time games attached.
Good questions, straight answers
Hot water replacement questions Greenwich locals ask
How do I know my hot water system needs replacing rather than repair?
Rust-coloured water from the hot taps, a tank weeping at the base, elements or valves failing year after year and a unit past ten to fifteen years old all point to replacement.
How long does a hot water replacement take?
Most like-for-like swaps are finished the same day, with the failed tank removed, the new system connected, tested and running hot again before our van leaves your driveway.
What does a hot water replacement cost?
The price depends on which system you choose and what the changeover involves, so we inspect first and hand you one fixed written price before any work begins on site.
Can you replace systems in apartment blocks near St Leonards?
Yes, we coordinate strata replacements with the owners corporation, handling plant room access, shutdown timing, compliance paperwork and removal of the old unit without disrupting other residents.
Which is better, gas, electric or instant hot water?
It depends on your connections, household size and how you actually use hot water, so we compare gas, electric and continuous flow options against your family's real daily pattern.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every replacement is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, so if anything about our workmanship is not right, we come back and make it right at no cost whatsoever.
