A real person answers, day or night
A new system is a twenty-year decision
The unit you pick today will sit on a wall or in a laundry for the next fifteen to twenty years, so the choice deserves more than a rushed same-day swap. Local homes range from 1890s cottages to post-war walk-ups, and each rewards a different answer. Talk it through on (02) 9072 0520 before you commit.
What makes installing hot water here different
The housing stock splits neatly in two, and each half brings its own installation logic.
The cottage half
The flat half
Installation services we deliver: from old unit out to first hot shower
- System selection and sizing We match capacity to your household's actual usage, morning showers, dishwasher cycles and all, because an undersized tank frustrates a big family daily and an oversized one burns money quietly for decades.
- Gas and electric changeovers Whether you are moving from electric storage to continuous flow gas or the reverse, we run new supply lines where needed and commission the unit to the manufacturer's specification.
- Removal and responsible disposal The old tank comes off the wall, gets drained and leaves with our van, so you are never left wrestling a rusted cylinder down a side path yourself.
- Compliance and certification Every job finishes with tempering set correctly, isolation valves fitted, pressure tested joints and compliance paperwork lodged, because an installation without certification is a problem waiting for a property sale.
The ground and the grid: siting a system on old streets
Soil movement
Where the water goes
Flue placement
Common problems we see around new installations
Units installed without pressure checks
A system bolted onto corroded old supply lines without pressure testing can mask the real fault, so the new unit gets blamed for brown water and weak flow that actually traces to the pipes feeding it.
Wrong sized systems for the household
A tank sized for a couple installed under a family of five runs out by the third shower, so we size against real usage patterns rather than what happened to be on the van that day.
Relief lines discharging badly
A relief valve dripping onto a slab or into a subfloor seems minor, but in a reactive clay suburb that constant trickle undermines footings, so we always route discharge lines properly.
Fair, upfront pricing. No surprises.
Why it matters: what a rushed install costs you later
- Efficiency you pay for every quarter: A poorly matched or badly commissioned system quietly inflates bills for years, while a correctly sized unit pays the difference back every quarter.
- Lifespan decided in the first week: Sediment left in lines, missing valves and sloppy joints are what kill systems early, so the care at installation is what buys you the full two decades.
- Compliance protects the sale: Uncertified gas or hot water work surfaces at the worst moment, during a property transaction, and unwinding it then costs far more than doing it right the first time.
The price we quote is the price you pay. No exceptions.
How it works
Our installation process, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0520 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, commission and prove it
We disconnect and remove the old unit, fit the new system with pipework and valves matched to your home's supply, set the tempering to a safe delivery temperature, then test every joint and run repeated hot taps so you see the system working 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 Carlton
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 Carlton 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
Installations run through Allawah, Beverley Park, Kogarah Bay, Kogarah and South Hurstville, and the same sizing-and-commissioning discipline applies whether the job is a cottage changeover or a shared laundry unit, because every household deserves water that is hot on the first cold morning it is needed.
Good questions, straight answers
Hot water installation questions Carlton households ask
How long does a hot water installation take?
Most like-for-like swaps are finished within a day, while a change of system type, fuel or location can stretch to two visits because of gas runs, power supply adjustments or drainage work.
Should I repair my old system or install a new one?
If the tank is leaking from the cylinder itself, replacement is the honest answer, but faults with elements, valves or thermostats are usually worth repairing on a system otherwise in good nick.
Which system suits a local home best, gas or electric?
Homes with an existing gas connection usually suit continuous flow gas units, while all-electric homes and walk-up flats without gas points are often best served by modern efficient electric storage or heat pump systems.
Can you install a hot water system in an apartment laundry?
Yes, we regularly change over storage units in compact shared compartments, working carefully around common supply runs, tight clearances and body corporate requirements.
Do you take away the old hot water system?
Every installation includes disconnecting, draining and removing the old unit, so the rusted tank goes out with our van and you are left with nothing but the new system.
How much does a new hot water system cost?
Price depends on system type, capacity and how much pipework changes, so we inspect first and hand you a fixed written price before any work begins, with a $0 call out fee.
