Which gas hot water system suits your Sydney home?

Most people choosing a gas hot water system are weighing a few clear trade-offs. Knowing which side of each one you sit on makes the quote quick and the install right.

Replace it today

The old tank has failed and the house has no hot water

A split seam or a rusted tank cannot be repaired. We aim to have a plumber with you within the hour and we tell you straight away what the replacement involves.

Plan an upgrade

The unit works but is near the end of its life

Time to choose carefully. You can compare types and sizes without having cold showers while you do it.

Replace it today

Water is pooling around the base of the tank

A leak from the tank body means the inner lining has gone. The system is being replaced, not repaired.

Plan an upgrade

Your bills have crept up over a few years

An older storage unit loses heat all day. A newer continuous flow system heats only what you use.

Replace it today

A family of five running out of hot water mid shower

An undersized unit cannot keep up. Sizing is part of the install, and we match it to the number of people and bathrooms.

Plan an upgrade

Planning a bathroom renovation

Moving or adding a unit is cheapest while walls are open. Tell us before the tiler arrives.

Replace it today

You are paying rent or selling soon with no hot water

A working system is expected by tenants and buyers. A quick replacement settles it without delaying the date.

Plan an upgrade

Thinking of switching from electric to gas

Gas can heat faster and cost less to run, if gas is connected to the property. We check the supply first.

Not sure which system suits you?

Call us and a licensed plumber will go through the options and give you a straight price.

Choosing and installing a gas hot water system

The best gas hot water system for you depends on the type, the gas you use and the size. Pick the question you are stuck on.

  1. A continuous flow unit heats water as it passes through and never runs out, which suits larger households and busy mornings. It is small and mounts on an outside wall.

  2. A storage tank keeps a set volume hot all day. It needs more space and loses some heat, but suits a house with a steady, lower demand and a place for the tank.

  3. We look at your household, your space and the flue position, then tell you which one we would put in our own home.

  1. If your street has mains gas, a natural gas unit is the usual choice. Without it, bottled LPG at the side of the house does the same job.

  2. The two fuels need different burners and regulators, so we confirm which the unit is set for before we connect it.

  3. We check the gas meter or bottle supply can carry the new unit, because an older line sized for a cooktop may be too small.

  1. The right size comes from how many people shower, how many bathrooms you have, and whether two outlets run at once.

  2. Location matters for the flue. A gas unit needs clear air and a safe distance from windows, doors and vents, and we place it to meet the rules.

  3. Where possible we reuse the existing pipe positions, which keeps the changeover short and the cost down.

  1. We disconnect and remove the old unit, fit the new one, connect water and gas and fit the safety valves and flue.

  2. A licensed gas fitter pressure tests the gas line and issues the compliance certificate that NSW requires for new gas work.

  3. We show you the controls, leave you the paperwork and finish with a complimentary safety inspection.

Gas hot water system prices in Sydney

Gas hot water system prices depend on the type you choose and the state of the gas and water connections. Compare the best gas quotes on what is included, not just the total, and ask for the price before work starts.

  • Type of system

    A continuous flow unit and a storage tank are priced differently, and models within each type vary by capacity and efficiency.

  • Size and capacity

    A bigger household needs a bigger unit. We size it to what you use rather than selling you more than you need.

  • Changing fuel or position

    Swapping electric for gas, or moving the unit to a new wall, means new pipework and often a new flue.

  • State of the existing lines

    Corroded water pipes or an undersized gas line need replacing at the same time. We check both before we quote.

  • Removal and certification

    Taking out and disposing of the old unit, testing the gas and issuing the compliance certificate are part of the job.

Frequently asked questions

Still unsure?

Call and a licensed plumber will talk it through with you, day or night.

02 9099 9138

What types of gas hot water systems are available?

At Rapid Service Plumbing, we offer three main types of gas hot water systems: storage-based tank systems for high-demand households, instant (continuous flow) systems that provide hot water on demand without running out, and solar-integrated systems that combine gas heating with solar power to improve efficiency and reduce running costs.

Are your gas hot water plumbers fully licensed and insured?

Yes, Rapid Service Plumbing’s local Sydney plumbers are fully licensed and insured, with ongoing professional development and safety training to ensure every job meets strict regulatory standards.

Do you offer a warranty on gas hot water system workmanship and parts?

All gas hot water system work comes with a lifetime workmanship warranty, and manufacturer warranties apply to the products we install. Warranty durations may vary by product.

Is there a call-out fee for gas hot water services in Sydney?

Rapid Service Plumbing offers a $0 call-out fee during regular hours (9 AM - 5 PM, Monday to Friday). Emergency or after-hours call-outs may incur a fee, depending on time, location, and holiday schedule.

Is a continuous flow or a storage gas hot water system better?

Continuous flow suits bigger households and tight spaces because it never runs out and mounts on a wall. Storage suits a smaller household with room for a tank. We look at how many people use hot water at once and where the unit would go, then recommend one.

Can I switch from an electric hot water system to gas?

Yes, if gas is connected to your property or you can use bottled LPG. We check the gas supply, run a new line to the unit, fit a flue and certify the gas work.

How do I know what size gas hot water system I need?

It depends on how many people live in the house, how many bathrooms you have and whether two showers run together. A couple in a unit needs far less than a family of five. We size it on site so you do not pay for capacity you will not use.

What does a gas hot water installation involve?

We remove the old system, fit the new one, connect the water and gas, fit the safety valves and flue, and pressure test the gas line. We tell you how long yours will take before we start. You get a compliance certificate and a walk through the controls.

How long does a gas hot water system last?

Most gas systems last around ten to fifteen years, depending on the water quality, the type and how well they are serviced. A tank that is leaking or a unit that needs repeated repairs is usually cheaper to replace than to keep patching.

Do I need a licensed gas fitter to install gas hot water?

Yes. In NSW the gas connection and flue must be done by a licensed gas fitter, and the finished work must be tested and certified. All our plumbers are licensed, under licence #379146C, and we give you the certificate.

Which areas of Sydney do you install gas hot water systems in?

All of Sydney, including the Eastern Suburbs from Bellevue Hill and Darlinghurst to Green Square, the North Shore, Manly and the Northern Beaches, the Inner West, Canterbury, the Sutherland Shire and the Hills District. We come with a fully stocked van.

Is there a rebate for a gas hot water system?

Rebates and incentives change from time to time. Check what is current with NSW Government before you buy. We will quote the gas system you want, show what is included and tell you if another type would suit the house better.
