A real person answers, day or night
A new system, planned around your house
Installing hot water is not a shelf purchase. The right unit depends on the fuel at the property, the household's morning demand and the space the old system occupied. We size, specify and quote the whole job before a tool comes off the van, and the full range sits on our hot water hub.
Cramped placements are where these installs are won
- The stock runs old units hard Interwar and 1950s homes between renovations still run storage hot water systems well past their design life, often tucked into side passages barely wider than the tank itself.
- Original placements went wherever there was room A like-for-like swap takes genuine planning, because a modern cylinder wants more clearance than the original installer allowed.
- We measure before we quote The delivery route, the drain-down point and the stand are all checked first, and where access is genuinely tight we specify a slimmer tank or a wall-hung instantaneous unit rather than discovering the problem on install day.
Core services: what we install
Every installation below is quoted as one fixed written price covering the unit, the connections, the commissioning and the removal of the old system, so the number on the quote is the number on the invoice:
Gas systems fitted
Where gas serves the property, a new storage or instantaneous unit is positioned, connected and commissioned under full gas licensing, with the line, flue and regulator checked and the compliance certificates handed over with the invoice. Explore the options on our gas hot water systems page.
Electric storage installed
Electric cylinders remain the dependable choice where gas is not connected, and off-peak or controlled-load arrangements are worth settling before the new cylinder is ordered, because the tariff changes which model and element rating make sense for the household.
Instantaneous units
Continuous flow systems suit households wanting endless hot water from a compact wall unit, and they free up the floor space a bulky tank once claimed. Compare the trade-offs on our instant hot water systems page.
Relocations and renovations
Bathroom rebuilds, laundry moves and extensions often shift where hot water is needed, so we reroute runs, relocate tanks and set new units where the renovated layout actually wants them, coordinated with the other trades on site.
Family households, sized properly
This is a suburb of owner-occupied family homes, and a system sized for two people quietly wastes money for a household of five running school-morning showers back to back. Census figures put the population at around 3,148, and the housing stock is almost entirely detached houses.
- We size against real demand How many bathrooms, whether the dishwasher and laundry compete with the shower, and whether the household wants off-peak storage or continuous flow all shape the answer.
- The sizing conversation comes first Getting it right before the quote is the difference between a system that serves the house for fifteen years and one that disappoints from the first winter.
Common problems we solve during installation
The old unit died without warning
Ageing storage tanks in the post-war stock fail suddenly, often flooding a passage or garage, so we can swap a dead unit the same day and talk you through safe shut-down steps on the phone while we are on the way.
The system no longer suits the renovation
A renovated bathroom with a new shower and a second basin can outgrow a system that was adequate for decades, and the honest fix is a properly sized replacement rather than another band-aid repair on a tired tank.
Nothing is wrong yet, but the tank is ancient
A unit past its design life is a decision waiting to happen, and installing on your schedule beats an emergency swap on a winter morning. Our hot water replacement page covers end-of-life calls in depth.
Why it matters: the cost of leaving it
- A failing tank floods from the bottom Storage units rarely warn before the seam lets go, and a slow leak inside a side passage or internal wall cavity does structural damage that costs far more than the unit itself.
- Sizing wrong costs twice An undersized system means cold showers and a second call out, while an oversized one burns money every day, so the assessment matters more than the brand on the box.
- Compliance protects the paperwork trail Gas and hot water work belongs with licensed trades who issue certificates, because unlicensed installs void warranties and complicate insurance when something goes wrong later.
How it works
Our installation process
- 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, connect and commission
Install day runs to plan: the tired tank comes out through the access we measured, the new unit sits level on its stand or bracket, connections go on fresh, and the filled, commissioned system is tested in front of you with the controls explained.
- 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 Riverview
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 Riverview 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.
If the existing unit is worth saving, our hot water repair service diagnoses before replacing, and we will say so plainly.
Where installation crews travel
Crews cover the adjoining streets of Lane Cove, Longueville, Linley Point, Hunters Hill and Lane Cove West, bringing the same fixed-price, lifetime-backed approach to every new system, whether the job is a straight swap in a post-war brick home or a full relocation on a renovated leafy block.
Term-time access and the shops at York's Corner
Scheduling an install here has its own rhythm. College traffic on Tambourine Bay Road defines the term-time peak, so tank deliveries and van arrivals are booked around the school-run window rather than against it, and the strip at York's Corner, with its cafe, chemist and butcher, reminds us daily how much of the neighbourhood runs on well-maintained hot water. Buses 253 and 254 wind through on the same narrow streets, which is one more reason the access check happens before the quote, not on the morning of the job.
Good questions, straight answers
Hot water installation questions Riverview locals ask
How long does a hot water installation take?
Most standard swaps are finished in a single day, while relocations, upgrades from electric to gas or work needing new flue or line runs can stretch to a day and a half.
Should I repair my old system or install a new one?
If the tank is leaking, rusted or well past its design life, replacement is the honest answer, and we will tell you plainly when a repair is still worth the money instead.
Can a new system fit in a tight side passage?
Yes, because we measure the removal and delivery route before quoting, and compact or slimmer tank models are still available where many older local homes have genuinely narrow access.
Who can legally install a gas hot water system?
Only a licensed gas fitter, who commissions the unit, checks the line and flue, and issues the compliance paperwork with the invoice, so the warranty and insurance trail stays intact.
Can I switch from an electric system to gas?
Usually yes, provided gas is available at the property and the run can be extended, and we confirm the route, cost and approval needs in the fixed written quote first.
Do you take away the old hot water system?
We do, because removal and disposal of the old tank is included in the quoted price, and the site is left tidy with the new unit tested before we leave.
