The Right System for Your House Depends on the House, Not the Catalogue
Catalogues sell tanks; houses dictate what actually fits. Our plumbers walk the property, check the available gas, power and space, then recommend the system your household will still be happy with a decade from now. Call (02) 9072 0504 and speak directly to a licensed plumber who knows Warrawee street by street.

Systems We Install
Every household draws hot water differently, so the options below get matched to your usage, your available services and the realities of your block rather than sold off a shelf:
Gas Storage Systems
Gas storage units suit the older gas runs threading through the estate era homes here, delivering fast recovery that big families notice on winter mornings, and we pressure-test the whole supply line first so every new connection meets current safety standards.
Heat Pump Upgrades
Heat pumps draw warmth from the ridge air instead of burning energy, cutting running costs noticeably for households with heavy morning demand, and we position and plumb the unit so compressors stay comfortably quiet against nearby bedroom walls through winter.
Continuous Flow Units
Instantaneous systems heat water only as it flows, so families never run out mid-shower however long the queue, and wall-mounted units free up cellar and side-passage space that houses tucked beside the rail corridor rarely spare for the bulky tanks.
Electric Replacements
Electric systems remain the simplest choice where gas never reached the property, and modern models heat efficiently and reliably, though we always size the tank honestly against usage rather than defaulting to whatever large tank stood there before the swap.
Renovation Rough-Ins
Extensions and new bathrooms need hot water pipework planned before the walls close, and we rough-in supply lines, tempering valves and recessed boxes to suit your planned final layout, saving expensive rework once the tiling starts against original heritage double-brick.
Where New Installs Go Wrong Before They Begin
A Tank Sized for Yesterday
Storage tanks sized decades ago struggle with today's appliances and longer showers, so a big family household that never ran short suddenly empties the tank before the second bathroom has finished, and honest resizing ends the cold showers pattern permanently.
Hot Water That Takes Forever
Waiting minutes for hot water at a distant ensuite usually means long unlagged runs or a unit positioned too far away, and relocating the system or adding a compact flow unit close by delivers hot taps almost instantly every time.
Rust in the Glass
Rusty or cloudy hot water signals a tank corroding from the inside, and once rust appears the remaining tank life is short, so replacing the tank before it splits open protects ceilings, cellars and the belongings stored beneath them downstairs.
Why Getting the Installation Right Matters
A new system is a decision you live with for a decade or more, and the choices made on install day shape bills, comfort and reliability for every year that follows:
- Running costs lock in at installation The wrong fuel type or an undersized heat pump quietly inflates every quarterly bill, while a correctly specified system pays the difference back year after year.
- Failures announce themselves at the worst moment An ageing or badly installed unit dies on a winter morning, and the no hot water emergency page exists precisely because that call can wait for nobody.
- Compliance protects the house Gas connections, tempering valves and discharge pipework done properly keep warranties valid, and a stubborn failing unit is sometimes worth a repair first, which we will tell you honestly.
How it works
Our Installation Process, 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
The old unit is drained and disconnected, the new system is set level, connected and secured, gas and compliance work is certified, and everything is commissioned, tested and walked through with you before the tools go back on the van.
- 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 Warrawee
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 Warrawee 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
Where Else We Work Around the Ridge
Our vans cover Turramurra, Wahroonga, Normanhurst, Pymble and Waitara as regularly as the home suburb itself, carrying the same stocked parts and the same fixed-price approach. The sizing honesty stays constant everywhere too: the same usage check, the same written quote, and the same refusal to oversell.
Good questions, straight answers
Hot Water Questions Warrawee Homeowners Ask Before Installing
How long does a hot water installation take?
Most straightforward swaps finish within a day, while conversions between gas, electric, heat pump or continuous flow can run longer because new pipework, compliance work or metering upgrades sometimes join the job.
Should I repair or replace my current system?
Age, rust-coloured water, repeated leaks and rising energy bills point towards replacement, while a single faulty valve, thermostat or element on an otherwise healthy tank usually justifies a straightforward repair.
Which system suits a large heritage home?
Big heritage households with high morning demand generally suit gas storage or a correctly sized heat pump, because both recover quickly, and we measure your actual usage before recommending either.
Do I need council approval for a new system?
Most like-for-like replacements need no council involvement, though work near heritage fabric, new gas runs or changes to drainage may require certification, which we handle and lodge as part of the job.
Are heat pumps effective in cooler ridge suburbs?
Yes, modern heat pumps perform well in the Upper North Shore's cooler climate, though sizing and placement matter more here than on the coast, and we specify units rated for cooler morning conditions.
What warranty comes with a new installation?
Every installation carries our Lifetime Labour Warranty on top of the manufacturer's tank and parts coverage, so if the workmanship ever falls short, we return and make it right at no cost.
