A new system, sized for the building it serves
Installing hot water is rarely a swap-the-box exercise in this part of Sydney. The building's age, the access path, the services already in the wall and the salt in the harbour air all shape what should go in, and we price the complete job in writing before a tool comes off the van.
- Shared risers, individual units Many interwar and mid-century apartment blocks run aged hot water systems and shared risers, so a new installation often means coordinating with strata rather than working on one isolated tank.
- Tight access everywhere Narrow stairwells, basement plant rooms and laundries tucked behind 1930s doorways decide what hardware can physically reach the install position, and we measure before we quote.
- Salt on everything external Salt-laden harbour air corrodes external pipework, valves and fittings years ahead of inland expectations, so outdoor installations get corrosion-resistant hardware as standard.
- Dated gas pipework Older terraces and walk-ups often retain dated gas fittings that need careful inspection before any new gas system is connected and certified.
Our hot water installation services
The work below covers the full range of new installations, each quoted as one fixed price covering the complete job.
System sizing and supply
We calculate your household's real usage against the plant room's dimensions, the access path and the building's existing services, then supply and install a correctly sized unit, because an oversized tank wastes energy and an undersized one generates complaints every morning.
Gas hot water installations
Gas systems suit buildings already reticulated for it, and we inspect the existing pipework, upgrade fittings where the old lines need it, install the unit with compliant fluing and certify the whole connection before we leave you to it.
Electric tank installations
Electric storage remains the straightforward choice where gas is not connected, and we install modern tanks with compliant valves, tempering and isolation hardware, coordinating any wiring requirements through the proper licensed trades so nothing is left half-joined.
Continuous flow systems
Instant units free up the cupboard space older laundries never had, heating water only as it is used, and we size the flow rate against how many outlets your household realistically runs at once, then mount and plumb the unit to spec.
Strata and shared riser upgrades
When a building's central system reaches the end of its life, we coordinate the replacement with the committee, document the works for landlords and stage the changeover so tenants are not left without hot water mid-installation.
The harbour side of a new installation
Salt exposure is the factor most installation quotes ignore
We design against it from the quote onward
Common installation problems we solve
The old unit will not fit the new plan
Renovations and appliance upgrades often shift where hot water is wanted, and an existing tank sits in the wrong corner, so we relocate or convert the installation, rerouting supply lines through rendered double-brick walls with the finished surfaces protected and patched back properly.
The building's supply cannot keep up
Low pressure and lukewarm supply in older blocks usually trace to galvanised steel water pipes corroding internally, and installing a new hot water system onto choked supply wastes the upgrade, so we test the feed first and quote any pipe renewal honestly.
Conversions that need more than a swap
Switching from electric storage to gas, or from a tank to continuous flow, means new pipework, fluing, drainage for the relief valve and sometimes meter upgrades, and we manage the whole conversion as one coordinated job rather than leaving you with three tradies and no plan.
Why a proper installation matters
- The right-sized system pays you back An undersized unit runs out every second morning and an oversized one burns energy heating water nobody uses, so honest sizing saves money for the life of the system.
- A bad install fails early Non-compliant valves, missing tempering or hardware unsuited to salt air turn a ten-year system into a five-year complaint, and the ceiling below an external unit is usually what copes the damage.
- Paperwork protects the property Compliance certificates, manufacturer warranty registration and documented strata approvals keep the building's records clean, which matters enormously when the time comes to sell or lease.
How we install
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0528 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.
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.
Install and commission
The old unit is drained and removed, the new system is mounted and connected with compliant valves, tempering hardware and fluing where required, and the commissioning tests prove temperature, pressure and flow at every outlet before we pack up the van.
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 Kirribilli
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 Kirribilli 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.
Our team also covers the full plumbing trade across the area, from bathroom plumbing and kitchen plumbing to burst pipes, so once the hot water is sorted there is a familiar face for everything else.
Where we work
Where else our installation crews work
As well as installing hot water systems across the peninsula, our crews work throughout Milsons Point, Lavender Bay, Kurraba Point, McMahons Point and Cremorne Point, carrying the same stocked vans, fixed written pricing and lifetime-backed workmanship to every job, whether it is a single unit swap or a whole building's plant room upgrade.
Good questions, straight answers
Hot water installation questions Kirribilli locals ask
How long does a hot water installation take?
Most straight swaps are finished in a single visit, while conversions between gas, electric or continuous flow take longer because new pipework, fluing or wiring must be installed and certified first.
Do I need council or Sydney Water approval for a new system?
Standard like-for-like replacements need no approval, but conversions, relocations and work touching stormwater or drainage follow Sydney Water rules, which we manage and document as part of the job.
Can a new system fit a tight apartment plant room?
Yes, we measure access paths, doorways and plant room clearances first, then specify a compact tank or continuous flow unit sized to your household so the new hardware physically fits the space.
Should I choose gas, electric or instant hot water?
It depends on the services already running to your building, your household's usage pattern and the space available, and we walk you through the honest trade-offs before you commit to anything.
Do you handle strata approval for unit installations?
We regularly document installations with photos, specifications and written quotes for landlords and strata committees, which makes the approval process straightforward for tenanted apartments and shared building services.
What warranty comes with a new hot water system?
Every installation is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, alongside the manufacturer's warranty on the tank or unit itself, so both the hardware and the fitting are covered.
