A new system, planned properly from the first visit

Few plumbing jobs reward planning the way a hot water install does. Get the sizing, position and connections right and the unit quietly serves the house for a decade or more. Call (02) 9072 0520 to talk it through, or start at Asquith to see the full range of work we handle.

Why the houses here ask more of a new install

Not a suburb of identical units

The housing stock runs from original interwar cottages to mid-century brick-veneer homes on the ridge, plus the newer townhouses clustered near the railway station, and each generation of building asks something different of a hot water installation.

Position and grade matter

A brick-veneer house on a sloping block needs the unit placed and piped differently from a compact townhouse with a recessed laundry, and getting that wrong costs you efficiency for as long as you own the system.

The ridge stretches the season

Nights up here run noticeably cooler than the coastal plain and winters bite well into spring, so household hot water demand runs higher than the brochures assume. We size and position for the house you actually live in.

That includes checking the condition of the supply lines feeding the new unit, because a brand-new cylinder connected to tired old pipework simply inherits the problems upstream of it.

Hot water systems we install

Every installation begins with a straight assessment of demand, existing services and available space, then a recommendation you can trust rather than whatever unit happens to be on the van:

Gas storage and gas continuous flow

Gas remains the workhorse across the established family homes here, and we install both storage tanks and continuous flow units, running new gas lines where needed and commissioning every flue, regulator and relief valve to standard. Learn more about gas hot water systems before you commit.

Electric storage systems

Where gas is not connected, electric storage remains a dependable choice, and we size the tank to actual household use, upgrade the tempering valve and connect through a properly isolated supply so everything complies.

Continuous flow and instant units

Tankless units suit tight townhouse laundries and households wanting endless hot water without reheating a tank overnight, and we match the flow rate to your peak demand. See how instant hot water systems compare.

Relocations and new runs

Extensions, laundry refits and driveway clearances often mean the unit has to move, and we rerun water, gas and relief lines, set correct falls and leave the old position properly capped and compliant.

Assembling pipe fittings before installation

Swaps in homes that have run the same tank for twenty years

The common job here is not a new build

Census figures put the suburb as dominated by detached, owner-occupied family housing, and long-held homes are exactly where a unit quietly reaches the end of its life mid-winter.

The good news

Decades of installs have left most houses with a proven position, existing gas supply and known pipe runs, which keeps like-for-like work clean and fast.

The catch

The isolating valves, tempering valves and flexi fittings are often the same age as the failing tank. Connecting a new unit through worn parts only moves the fault downstream.

Every installation we complete includes replacing the fittings that make the connection, so the new unit starts life attached to new hardware rather than somebody else's twenty-year-old plumbing. If the existing unit is repairable, we will say so honestly and point you toward hot water repair instead.

Problems that trace back to the original install

Some faults we get called to are not the unit's fault at all:

Wrong-sized tank from day one

A household that has grown since the unit went in can outgrow its tank entirely, showing up as cold showers by the second bathroom, and the honest fix is a properly sized replacement rather than a thermostat tweak.

Poor positioning and exposure

Units squeezed into unventilated cupboards or placed where the afternoon sun loads west-facing walls work harder than they should, shortening their service life and inflating running costs for decades.

Dated connections and valves

Installations completed without tempering valves or with undersized gas runs deliver lukewarm or inconsistent water, and bringing the installation up to current standard usually resolves what looked like a unit fault.

The van stocked with parts to fix it on the first visit

Why a properly installed system matters

A hot water unit is one of the most expensive comfort services in a family home, and how it goes in decides how it lives:

  • Correct sizing pays you back daily A system matched to real household use delivers consistent hot water through winter mornings without heating water nobody needs, keeping running costs down year after year.
  • Compliance protects the household Tempering valves, correct flueing and certified isolation are not box-ticking; they are the difference between a safe installation and a liability hiding behind a plaster wall.
  • Quality workmanship avoids the repeat visit New fittings on every connection, pressure testing before we leave and a commissioned setup mean the install is done once, properly, and backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty.

How it works

The installation process, step by step

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 03

    Install and commission the system

    We isolate the old services and remove the existing unit if there is one, then fit the new system with fresh valves and connections throughout, commissioning pressure, temperature and flow so it hands over hot water exactly as sized. If the conversation is really about a unit at end of life, hot water replacement is the page for that.

  4. 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 Asquith

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 Asquith 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

Our hot water installation work covers North Wahroonga, Hornsby, Mount Colah, Waitara and North Turramurra, all within the same Hornsby Shire ridge country we work daily, and the same sizing and installation standards travel with us to every one of them. If you are just over the boundary, you are still in our patch.

Good questions, straight answers

Hot water installation questions Asquith locals ask

How long does a hot water installation take?

Most like-for-like installations finish within a single day because the common valves, fittings and connections ride on every van, so a unit that fails overnight is usually running again by evening.

Should I choose gas, electric or continuous flow?

It depends on your household size, your existing services and your roof or wall space, so our plumber assesses all three on site and recommends the system that genuinely suits how your family uses hot water.

Can you relocate a hot water system?

Yes, relocations are standard work for us, whether you are extending a home, freeing up laundry space or moving a unit off a driveway, and we rerun the supply, gas and relief lines to code.

Do I need council or Sydney Water approval?

Standard replacements generally do not, but relocations, new gas runs and some switch types have requirements, and our licensed plumber handles the paperwork and compliance certificates as part of the job.

What size system does a family home need?

Sizing depends on the number of bathrooms, occupants and simultaneous use patterns rather than a rule of thumb, which is why we measure actual household demand before recommending a tank or continuous flow unit.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every installation carries our Lifetime Labour Warranty alongside the manufacturer's warranty on the unit itself, so if anything in our workmanship is not right, we come back and make it right at no cost.
