Getting a new system right the first time
A new hot water unit is only as good as its installation, and a rushed connection causes more callbacks than the unit itself ever does. Call (02) 9072 0513 and describe the property and the plan, and we'll talk through what actually suits it.
Not a new fit-out? A struggling but still-working unit is better suited to the hot water repair page, an old system nearing the end of its life sits under hot water replacement, and choosing between fuel types is covered on the main hot water page.
New apartments still need a proper commissioning check
Apartment blocks going up along the Anzac Parade and Todman Avenue light rail corridor arrive with brand new hot water fit-outs, and it's easy to assume "new" means "correct".
A fresh install can still carry a fault. Pressure that's set wrong, a tempering valve fitted out of sequence or a flue run that doesn't quite clear compliance are all things this crew checks on a new system, not just an ageing one.
What goes into a proper installation here
Every installation starts with the property, not the catalogue, because a unit that suits a share house near the university rarely suits a couple renovating a single-fronted terrace:
Reading the actual demand
Before recommending a size, this crew works out how many bathrooms, how many people and how the household actually uses hot water day to day, because guessing at capacity is how a brand new system ends up feeling undersized within a year.
Fitting new pipework cleanly
A first-time gas or water connection through an older wall or under an original timber floor gets run properly rather than the shortest possible route, protecting the finish of a renovation that's usually cost plenty to get right.
Relocating an existing unit
Moving a system from an old external position into a new cupboard or roof space during a renovation is common work here, and this crew plans the run so servicing it later doesn't mean pulling apart fresh tiling.
Signing off compliance properly
Gas connections and larger electric installs both carry a legal compliance step, and this crew completes that certificate and hands it over with the invoice, rather than leaving it for you to chase down later.
Fitting a new system into an older floor plan
Federation houses and California bungalows being renovated along Goodwood Street and Carlton Street were mostly built around one bathroom, and adding a second changes what the hot water system actually needs to do.
A new ensuite or ground-floor powder room often means the original supply line simply isn't in the right place anymore, so part of this crew's job is planning the run before the unit itself ever gets chosen.
Installation problems worth catching before they're built in
Undersizing during a renovation
A system speced for the house as it was, not as the plans show it becoming, is a common miss during a bathroom or kitchen renovation, and correcting it after the tiling's finished costs far more than getting it right upfront.
Tight access in older cupboards
A walk-up flat's original hot water cupboard was rarely built with a modern unit's dimensions in mind, so this crew checks clearances properly before ordering equipment that won't actually fit the space.
Why a rushed installation costs more later
Cutting corners on a new install rarely shows up straight away, which is exactly why it's worth getting right the first time, before a renovation is finished and the walls are closed up:
An undersized unit strains from day one
A system that was never big enough for the finished household works harder for less result, and that shortfall shows up as cold showers within the first year, not decades from now.
Non-compliant gas work is a real risk
A gas connection without the correct sign-off can affect both safety and any future insurance claim, and it costs far less to have it done properly than to have it redone under scrutiny.
A poor location plan haunts every future service call
A unit installed somewhere awkward to reach turns every routine check into a bigger job than it needs to be.

Fit and commission properly
Your plumber connects the new system correctly to gas, water or power as required, then runs a full commissioning check before calling the job finished, whether the property is a century-old bungalow or a brand new build.

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 Kensington
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 Kensington 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
This crew's installation work reaches just as far, fitting new systems across Kingsford, Randwick, Eastlakes, Daceyville, Centennial Park and Maroubra to the identical standard.
Good questions, straight answers
Installation questions Kensington renovators ask
How much does a new hot water installation cost?
That depends mostly on the system size and where it's going in, so this crew looks at the job first and hands over a fixed written price before anything's fitted.
How long does installing a new hot water system usually take?
A straightforward swap-in on an existing connection is often done within the one visit, while a first-time install with new pipework or wiring can genuinely take longer to finish properly.
Do I need approval before installing a new hot water system?
Gas and larger electric installs need proper compliance sign-off, and getting that certificate sorted is built into the job here, not left for you to follow up afterwards.
Are your installers licensed for gas hot water connections?
Yes, every plumber here holds full licensing and insurance under Lic #275278C, and gas connections always get the compliance certificate the work legally requires before it's called finished.
Is a fresh hot water installation covered by warranty?
Every installation is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, so if the workmanship isn't right after the job's done, this crew comes back and fixes it at no further cost.
Adding a second bathroom to a Federation house on Goodwood Street, does the hot water system need upgrading too?
Usually yes, the original system was sized for one bathroom, so this crew works out the new capacity needed before the tiler even starts on the extra ensuite.
