The team that has installed 1,500+ hot water systems across Sydney
We are not a generalist plumber who fits the occasional unit. Hot water is core to what we do, so the advice is impartial, the sizing is done from manufacturer tables, and the install is tidy, compliant and rebate-ready from day one.
Founded in 2010 by owner Steven Bahbah, our family-run team has planned and fitted new hot water systems across greater Sydney, from a first-time install in a Bondi renovation to a planned electric-to-heat-pump upgrade in Mosman. Every install is run by a fully ticketed plumber and gas fitter under NSW Licence 305428C, ends with a Certificate of Compliance, and shows the rebate value on day one, not as a promise to chase later.

- WaterMark & WELS registered

What changes when a licensed installer plans your new system?
A new hot water system is a 10 to 15 year decision, and it is one of the easiest jobs to get wrong on price alone. Here is exactly what shifts when a licensed Sydney installer plans and fits it, instead of a handyman or a like-for-like guess.
Before
Cheapest quote or DIY guess
- The visible symptom has no confirmed source
- A repair is chosen before the cause is checked
- Access or price changes are left unexplained

- There is no clear handover record
After

- The fault is checked with a suitable diagnostic method

The exact thread you’ll see on install day
No marketing fluff. Every install customer gets a thread like this on the day; booked, installer assigned, ETA, vehicle ID, knock at the door. You always know what’s next.
- Booked
A real installer assigned, in writing.
Your 2-hour window, installer name, vehicle and exact system being fitted; confirmed by SMS within minutes. Not a queue, not a callback.
- Routed
Live ETA, refreshed as they drive.
Once your installer leaves the depot the ETA SMS auto-refreshes. No need to call and ask whether they’re still coming.
- Warned
5-minute heads-up at the door.
We text when the installer is 5 minutes away, including vehicle and plate so you know who’s knocking before you open the door.
- Honoured
Late-fee waiver, automatic.
Miss the window without warning and the call-out portion of your invoice is automatically waived. No claim form, no negotiation.
We turn up when we say we will; here is the proof
Every hot water install we attended today, with the booked window, the actual arrival time, and whether we hit it. We publish the misses too; and waive the call-out fee when we cause one.
What other hot water installers won’t tell you.
Side-by-side with what most homeowners actually receive when they pay $1,200 to $8,000 for a new hot water system; no spin, no fine print. Just what we include as standard on a supply-and-install, and what tends to quietly get left off elsewhere.

How a new hot water install works in Sydney
Same upfront supply-and-install pricing whether it is a straight swap, a first-time install in a renovation, or a strata upgrade. Here is exactly what to expect from the first call to the warranty card.
Tell us about your home and what you want
Household size, current fuel (gas, electric, LPG, solar), where the unit sits, and what matters most; lowest running cost, biggest rebate, or lowest upfront. We use this to shortlist the right system types before we visit.
Booking Recorded
Visit details confirmed
Free on-site assessment and sizing
A licensed installer checks placement, gas and electrical, flue clearances and roof aspect, then sizes the system from manufacturer tables for your peak demand; so the unit is neither undersized nor wasteful.
On-site Assessment
Fault checked in context
Options and running costs, in writing
You get itemised supply-and-install pricing for each suitable system, projected annual running cost, warranty length, and any NSW ESS and federal STC rebate you qualify for, pre-calculated. You decide; no upsell, no pressure.
Scope and Price
Confirmed before repair
Install, compliance and warranty paperwork
A typical storage install takes 2 to 3 hours; heat pump and solar can be a half-day. We remove and recycle the old unit, fit a compliant tempering valve, set the thermostat to 60°C, then email your compliance certificate and warranty card before we leave.
Completion Check
Result and records reviewed
Old unit failed? Fast replacement install
If your existing unit has given out, we prioritise a same-day or next-day install so you’re not left with cold showers, and we still take the time to size the new system properly rather than just matching the old one.
Urgent Call Logged
Risk details recorded
Make it safe while we’re en route
If the old unit is leaking, we talk you through closing the cold inlet and isolating power or gas safely, so damage is contained before the installer arrives.
Immediate Safety
Next safe step explained
Right system on the truck, not just the cheapest
Common 50L to 315L electric and gas units are carried on the truck for fast turnarounds. Heat pump and solar systems are typically ordered and installed within a day or two so you still get the efficient option, not a rushed compromise.
Visit Arranged
Available window confirmed
New system in, fully warranted
Pressure tested, temperature set to 60°C tank / 50°C delivery, tempering valve fitted, rebate lodged, and compliance certificate filed with NSW Fair Trading.
Work Recorded
Outcome explained
Site review and access requirements
Strata, hospitality, gym, aged-care or commercial laundry? We coordinate with building management, lift bookings, and after-hours access ahead of the install.
Access Details
Entry and parking recorded
Compliance and SWMS
Plumbing licence (305428C), gas licence, $10M public liability, SWMS and JSA documents prepared and supplied before we step on site; no chasing.
Responsibility Check
Shared services considered
Scoped quote with three options
Like-for-like replacement, a right-sized upgrade, and an efficiency option (heat pump or solar) presented side by side with payback periods and rebates costed in.
Fault Located
Evidence guides the repair
Scheduled install around your operations
After-hours, staged, or weekend installs available. We handle disposal of the old unit and provide WHS sign-off and a compliance certificate for your records.
Next Step Agreed
Access, scope and price clear
Two warranties on your new system; both in writing, both honoured
Every hot water install is covered by our lifetime workmanship warranty on the install and the full manufacturer warranty on the new unit and parts. Both are explained in plain English on your invoice. No fine print, no exclusions you have to dig out of a PDF.
What size hot water system should you install?
Pick your household size; we’ll show the recommended capacity for every system type, based on Sydney averages and manufacturer sizing tables. Sizing a new system correctly is the single biggest factor in whether it runs out in winter.
How many people in the home?
Pick "6+" for large families.
Electric storage
Sized larger because off-peak elements heat overnight in one go.
Gas storage
Reheats much faster than electric, so smaller tanks cope easily.
Gas continuous
Rated by simultaneous outlets. Two showers + a tap usually wants 24 L/min.
Heat pump
Slower recovery than gas. Size up if you have back-to-back morning showers.
Solar (boosted)
Sized larger to carry through cloudy days without leaning on the booster.
Licensed plumber vs. unlicensed worker
Plumbing work in NSW must be carried out by a licensed plumber. It is not just a formality, licensing protects your home, your insurance, and your right to recourse if something goes wrong.
What you get
- Work is insured and meets the National Plumbing Code
- Compliance Certificate issued for every job
- Home insurance and warranty stay valid
- Statutory warranty backed by NSW Fair Trading
- Clear path to dispute resolution if needed
What you risk
- Work may breach the NSW Plumbing and Drainage Act
- No Compliance Certificate: issues at resale
- Home insurance claims commonly denied
- No statutory warranty on the work performed
- Limited recourse: Fair Trading cannot assist

How to choose a new hot water system you won’t regret
A short editorial guide written by our senior hot water installers. No fluff, no brand bias; just the checks an experienced buyer makes before signing off on a new $4,000 system.
The six checks that matter most
- Size before brand; always
- Compare running cost, not just install price
- Confirm the rebate is locked in, not hoped for
- Demand a Certificate of Compliance, not a receipt
- Check the tempering valve is in the quote
- Insist on itemised, not lump-sum
- Plan placement and controls to actually save money
Walk-away signs on a new-install quote
- No model number on the quoted unit
- Rebate “applied later” with no figure on the quote
- Sized the same as the old unit with no questions asked
- No tempering valve line on the install
- Compliance certificate as an optional extra
- Running cost never mentioned, only install price
