A real person answers, day or night
A new hot water system is only as good as its installation
The best tank on the market fails early when it is undersized, badly sited or connected to tired wiring. Call (02) 9072 0528 and we will assess the whole picture first, then install a system that suits your home, not a brochure. More about our work across Wollstonecraft.

What our hot water installation covers
Every job is scoped properly before a tool comes out: hot water repair when the existing unit can honestly be saved, full installation when it cannot, and honest advice about which is which.
Sizing that starts with your household
Every installation begins with a proper usage assessment covering how many people live in the home, when they shower, and what appliances draw hot water, because a system sized by guesswork reliably disappoints someone in the household every single morning.
Gas systems installed to code
Gas continuous flow units heat water on demand and suit homes with existing gas connections, though flue routes, gas line sizing and the steep sandstone blocks common around here all shape exactly where a unit can legally and safely sit.
Electric tanks fitted properly
Electric storage tanks remain the workhorse for apartments without gas, and installing one properly means checking circuit capacity, wiring condition and relief valve drainage, not just swapping tanks and hoping the old circuit copes with a brand new modern unit.
Siting planned before the pipes move
Where the unit sits matters enormously on these hillside properties, because slope, drainage falls, relief valve routing and strata access rules near the station all influence compliance, and we carefully plan the unit's position before a single pipe is touched.

Common hot water installation problems we prevent
The walk-up tank that fails the whole building
Older walk-up blocks from the sixties to the eighties often run their original electric tanks, and when one fails the whole building notices, so we match replacements to existing wiring and plumbing without forcing expensive upgrades nobody asked for.
The new unit throttled by old pipes
Federation-era homes frequently pair a new system with corroded galvanised supply pipes, which throttles pressure no matter how good the unit is, so we check the supply lines first and flag repiping before you pay for hot water you cannot feel.
Why a properly installed system matters
Getting the installation right the first time protects far more than your morning shower:
- Safety Gas connections, flueing and relief valves installed incorrectly are genuine hazards, and a compliant installation with lodged certificates removes that risk entirely.
- Running costs A correctly sized and sited system heats what your household actually uses, which shows up as a lower energy bill every quarter for the life of the unit.
- Longevity Manufacturers honour warranties on properly installed systems, and a well-fitted unit simply lasts years longer than one squeezed into the wrong spot on the wrong wiring.
How it works
Our installation process, step by step
- 01
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.
- 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
Fit and connect
Your plumber carefully positions the new system, upgrades valves and fittings as needed, connects supply, gas or power, then tests temperatures, pressures, relief drainage and gas flueing thoroughly before walking you through how the new system works.
- 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 Wollstonecraft
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 Wollstonecraft 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.
Every installation also comes with genuine aftercare, because a system we fit is a system we stand behind in the years that follow.
Where we work
Areas we service
From this ridgeline the vans run daily to Crows Nest, Waverton, St Leonards, Greenwich and Naremburn, carrying the parts those suburbs' mixed housing actually needs, from Federation cottages to modern units, so most installations finish in a single visit.

Good questions, straight answers
Hot water installation questions Wollstonecraft homeowners ask
How long does a hot water installation take?
Most standard swaps finish within a day, though installations needing new gas lines, wiring upgrades or strata access approvals can stretch longer, and we confirm the realistic timeframe in your written quote before starting.
Do I need council approval for a new hot water system?
Most like-for-like replacements need no council involvement, but relocating a system, changing fuel types or working in heritage streets can trigger compliance requirements, which we handle and explain as part of the job.
Gas or electric, which system should I choose?
The right answer depends on your existing connections, household size and running cost priorities, so we assess all three on site and recommend the system that genuinely suits your home rather than our stock.
Can you install hot water systems in local apartment blocks?
Yes, and the walk-up buildings near the railway station are familiar territory, from booking strata access windows and protecting common corridors through to sizing units for the wiring those older blocks actually have.
What does a new hot water system cost?
Every job gets a fixed written price after a proper inspection, with no call out fee, and the number on that quote is the number on your invoice, whatever the work uncovers on the day.
What warranty covers a new hot water installation?
Manufacturer warranties cover the tank and components, while our Lifetime Labour Warranty covers the workmanship, so if anything we installed is not right, we come back and fix it at no cost.
