What Sydney Customers Say About Our Service

Homeowners and businesses across Sydney trust Graham & Sons Plumbing for hot water system repairs and installations. Here’s what some of our customers have shared about their experience with our team:

 

Types of Hot Water Systems We Service and Install

Electric Hot Water Systems

Electric units are affordable and reliable for smaller households or properties without access to gas. We often recommend them for apartments or homes with limited space, as installation is straightforward and maintenance is minimal.

Gas Hot Water Systems

From our experience, gas systems are a popular choice for Sydney families because they deliver steady, reliable hot water without the long recovery time of electric units.

Many of our customers appreciate the continuous flow models, which means no more cold showers when everyone’s using hot water at the same time. We’ve installed countless gas systems over the years and find them to be one of the most consistent options for medium to large homes.

Solar Hot Water Systems

We’ve seen more homeowners making the switch to solar in recent years. It’s a smart long-term investment that pays off through lower running costs.

The key is making sure your property gets enough sunlight and has suitable roof space for the collectors. Our team can inspect your home and give honest advice on whether solar will work effectively in your location before you commit.

Heat Pump Systems

Over the years, we’ve installed and serviced many heat pump systems across Sydney, and they’ve proven to be an excellent option for homes wanting to lower running costs without switching to full solar. A heat pump works much like an air conditioner in reverse, drawing warmth from the surrounding air to heat your water efficiently. We often recommend them to customers who want an energy-saving solution but have shaded roofs or limited space for solar panels.

One thing we’ve noticed is that homeowners are often surprised by how quietly and consistently these systems operate, even during winter. Proper placement makes a big difference, which is why our plumbers take time to assess airflow and positioning before installation. When fitted correctly, a quality heat pump can reduce power consumption significantly while still delivering the same reliable hot water you’d expect from a traditional system. Many of our long-term clients have told us they’ve seen real savings on their energy bills within the first few months.

Choosing the Right System: Every Sydney home is different. When you call Graham & Sons Plumbing, we don’t just recommend what’s trending. We assess your household size, energy use, and water habits to suggest the most practical and cost-effective system for your needs.

 

Our Hot Water Services in Sydney

Graham & Sons Plumbing provides hot water system repairs, servicing, and installations across Sydney. Our licensed plumbers fix all types of issues, including no hot water, leaks, low pressure, and inconsistent temperatures. Common problems such as worn parts, faulty thermostats, or blocked lines are diagnosed and repaired quickly to restore reliable hot water. We also service gas systems, clear sediment build-up, and replace corroded components to keep your system running safely and efficiently.

New Installations and Replacements

Whether it’s a new build or replacing an outdated unit, we supply and install hot water systems suited to your property and water demand.

Each installation is completed to Australian standards and includes a compliance certificate. We can install electric, gas, solar, or heat pump systems depending on your home’s setup and budget.

Energy-Efficient Upgrades

We help Sydney homeowners switch to more efficient systems to lower energy use and running costs. Solar and heat pump units have become very popular, but from our experience, they only deliver the right savings when installed in the right setting. Some homes get great results from solar because of strong sunlight exposure, while others benefit more from a heat pump due to limited roof space or shading.

Our advice is to look beyond the upfront cost and think about long-term performance. We always inspect the property first and explain what will genuinely work best, not just what sounds good on paper.

Maintenance and Servicing

Regular servicing prevents breakdowns and improves system efficiency. Our plumbers flush tanks, test valves, and check connections to keep systems running safely. Most of our long-term clients who service their systems every one to two years rarely face major failures.

System Removal and Disposal

When replacing an old or faulty system, we handle the disconnection and removal safely. The old unit is taken away and disposed of properly, leaving your property clean and ready for the new setup.

Warranty and After-Sales Support

All new systems come with a full manufacturer’s warranty, and we help with any claims if issues arise. We also provide aftercare support and service reminders to every client we cater to, ensuring the hot water system continues to perform reliably for years.

Hot Water Heater Installation

If your water heater is with a tank, you should replace it after its expiry date. However, this condition applies when you have regularly and adequately maintained the heater; if not, you should replace it when you start getting some warning signs.

These warning signs include high heating bills, low volume of warm water, and the appearance of reddish color inside the heater. It indicates that the period of the water heater has finished.

Other warning signs include noisy pitch and leakage in the heater. If you receive one of these warning signs, call a plumber to replace it.

On the other hand, an Instantaneous water heater has a longer lifespan than heaters with a tank. There are no specific warning signs for it. However, some indications can tell you that the time has come to replace your heater.

Warning signs like irregular water temperature, deteriorated water quality, and leakage are enough to determine that your heater is no longer in its usable position.

If you receive one of these signs, you should replace your heater as soon as possible with the consultation of the plumber to prevent any mishap.

The lifespan of a water heater depends on its type. If your water heater is with a tank, it can last about 8 to 10 years with regular services. The lifespan of Instantaneous water heaters is about 15 to 20 years if serviced regularly.

If it is a gas-type heater, it can last about ten years. Similarly, an electric gas heater has a larger expiry time frame than a gas type. It can last for almost 15 years. These are some general lifespans of heaters taken as an average.

Some factors affect the lifespan of water heaters. The factors include whether the heater is with a tank or Instantaneous, the quality of water, the location of the heater, and daily usage.

The lifespan will be shorter if you use it more than once daily. Also, hard water in the tank can lessen your heater’s lifespan by about two years.

Moreover, the location of your heater is a significant factor in its lifespan. It would affect your heater badly if it is located in the basement, where it takes more time to heat the water.

It is crucial to consider some factors to select a good water heater for your home. These factors can tell you which water heater is best for your home. The factors include cost, fuel type, home space, and size.

The heater can affect your heating bill positively or negatively, depending on the fuel type. For example, if it is electrical, the bill charges will be higher than the gas type. Similarly, tank water heaters consume higher energy than Instantaneous ones.

You should focus on the size of the heater and compare it with the size of your home before selecting it. If your house is small, consider choosing an electrical water heater, while the heat pump or hybrid water heater is the best for a large home.

The cost of a water heater varies according to its type. If your budget is low, choose an Instantaneous water heater. In case of a high budget, you should buy a solar or hybrid type heater.

Before buying a heater, know its size. You should select a heater tank depending on the people in your house. For example, a 50-litre tank is enough for 2 or 3 occupants. Similarly, a 315-litres tank is adequate for 5 to 6 occupants.

The time depends on whether you want to install or replace a new water heater. If you install a new heater in your bathroom, it will take less time than replacing it. A licensed and certified plumber can install a new one in just 1 hour with a safe process.

If you want to replace it, he can take some more time as the process includes the removal of the old heater. The old heater’s drainage, disconnection and removal method takes approximately 40 to 60 minutes.

After removal, he can take 30 minutes to safely unbox the new heater and place it in the correct position. The connection of lines and power supply isn’t easy and quick, but a certified plumber from Grahams & Sons plumbing can do it in just 50 to 60 minutes.

In the end, the plumber will set it according to your demand, which can take 10 minutes. The whole process of replacement can take up to 2 to 3 hours, even with an expert plumber.
