A real person answers, day or night
Sized for your household, not the shelf
Fuel type, capacity and placement are the three decisions that shape the years ahead, and we work through all three with you. The wider picture of what we do sits at Lane Cove.
Double brick, old gas lines and long falls to the water
- Construction with substance Local homes are predominantly brick and double-brick with render finishes, so wall-hung continuous flow units, flue runs and tank stands need positioning decided early, not improvised on install day.
- Gas plumbing with history Interwar and post-war houses were plumbed for gas generations ago, and ageing fittings or risers regularly surface during a swap, so we renew them to current standard rather than connect a new unit to them.
- Blocks that fall away fast The suburb drops steeply toward Tambourine Bay and Burns Bay, and a relief valve discharging on a slope sends water somewhere you will notice, so placement and drainage are planned before we quote.
Installation services, selection through to commissioning
Every job follows the same shape: assess the household, confirm fuel and location, quote the complete work in writing, then install, test and certify. Within that, the work splits into four streams, all mapped on our hot water hub.
Gas storage and continuous flow
Gas systems suit homes with established connections, and where risers or fittings have aged well past their best we bring the pipework up to scratch before connecting anything new. The trade-offs between tanks and on-demand units are set out on our gas hot water systems page.
Electric storage systems
Electric storage remains the workhorse in many apartments and rentals where gas was never connected, and we match tank capacity to your household's actual morning pattern rather than defaulting to the biggest unit available. The sizing logic sits on our electric hot water systems page.
Continuous flow and compact installs
Continuous flow units suit apartments, townhouses and renovated homes where cupboard space is contested, and we size them from your fixtures rather than guessing, because two showers and a dishwasher typically demand more flow than a one-bathroom unit. See instant hot water systems for the full comparison.
Relocations and fuel changes
Moving a system, switching fuel or upgrading from a tired tank changes the pipework, not just the box, and we reroute supply and relief lines, make good the old footprint and confirm the new position drains safely on sloping blocks.
Timed around the way the village actually runs
- Out early, home late With no train line in the suburb and the local interchange moving around 25 bus routes, most households here run on a commute, so we book arrival windows that fit your morning rather than a nine-to-five assumption.
- Winter is install season Ageing units in post-war houses and older flats tend to fail on the first genuinely cold morning, and a planned swap beats an emergency one on price and choice every time.
Common problems we meet before an installation
The unit that quits on the day you call
Some tanks are finished the moment we open the valve, and where a household has no hot water right now, the urgent steps live on our no hot water page while we schedule the install properly.
Faults that only need a repair
A failed element, thermostat or valve does not always justify a new tank, and we will say so when a repair is the honest answer, which is the territory of our hot water repair service.
The end-of-life tank nobody planned for
When a unit is genuinely beyond saving, replacement rather than repair is the right call, and our hot water replacement page walks through that decision, the disposal of the old tank and what it involves.
Why getting the installation right matters
- A correctly sized system costs less to run An oversized tank cycles and wastes energy, an undersized one runs out mid-shower, and matching capacity to the household is the difference for the next ten years.
- Compliance protects the paperwork trail Gas and hot water work carries licensing and certificate requirements, and an installation done properly arrives with the documents your records and any future sale will need.
- Placement decides how easy the next service is A unit installed with access, drainage and isolation in mind is simpler to maintain, and the valve work we do on every install reflects that.
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, test and commission
We isolate and remove the old unit, set the new system in its confirmed position, connect supply, gas and relief lines to standard, then test pressures, temperatures and every joint before handing over the compliance paperwork and walking you through the controls.
- 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 Lane Cove
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 Lane Cove 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.
The difference shows most on jobs like this one, where the choice of system and the quality of the install decide how the next ten years of mornings go.
Where we work
Where we install across the local area
Installation work reaches across the whole surrounding area, from the village itself out through Lane Cove North, Lane Cove West, Greenwich, Longueville and Riverview, and the mix of houses, semis and apartment blocks in those streets shapes every quote we write.
Good questions, straight answers
Hot water installation questions Lane Cove owners 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 or location can stretch to a second day for the gas or wiring work involved.
Should I choose gas, electric or continuous flow?
It depends on household size, the energy connections already at the property and your hot water habits, and we walk you through the options before you commit to anything.
Do you take the old unit away?
Yes, every installation includes draining and disconnecting the old unit, removing it from site and leaving the space ready for the new system to be commissioned.
Can you install hot water in the older flat blocks?
Yes, we manage the notice, riser isolation and common property protection that apartment installs require, so residents in walk-up and newer blocks are not disrupted.
What if the old system fails during the install?
Isolating a failed unit sometimes reveals corroded valves or connections that also need replacing, and we quote any additional work in writing before proceeding, so nothing appears on the invoice unannounced.
Do you hold the right licences for hot water work?
Every plumber on the team is fully licensed and insured, and the compliance certificates your installation requires are provided with the invoice without you needing to ask.
